Parking Brake Secondary Cable

Parking Brake Secondary Cable

Product Description:

The purpose of Maserati part number 221901, the parking brake secondary cable, is to connect the parking brake lever to the rear brakes. When the parking brake is engaged, the secondary cable pulls on the rear brake calipers to apply the brakes. This helps to keep the car from rolling when it is parked.

The secondary cable is important because it provides a backup to the primary parking brake cable. If the primary cable fails, the secondary cable will still be able to apply the brakes. This helps to ensure that the car can be safely parked even if there is a problem with the parking brake system.

The parking brake secondary cable is a wear and tear item, and it should be inspected and replaced regularly. If the cable is frayed or damaged, it should be replaced immediately to prevent a failure.

Here are some of the symptoms of a failing parking brake secondary cable:

• The parking brake is not as effective as it used to be.
• The parking brake lever feels loose or spongy.
• The parking brake warning light comes on when the parking brake is engaged.
• The rear brakes lock up when the parking brake is engaged.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to have your parking brake system inspected by a qualified mechanic.
