      5. Connect SST to the connector of the parking brake wire assembly and auxiliary battery, and then turn on the release button on SST while depressing the brake pedal.

        CAUTION:

        The vehicle may suddenly move when the parking brake is released. Therefore, use the brake pedal while performing the release operation.

        Tech Tips


        • Check the operation noise of the parking brake actuator.

        • If there is no operation noise, turn on the release button of SST while forcefully depressing the brake pedal.

        • If the battery voltage is low, the parking brake may not be able to be released. In this case, connect a sufficiently charged battery or new battery, and then perform the release operation again.
