The ABS and parking brake lights remain on continously. I have tested all components according to chiltons and can find no defective parts, I believe it is a manufacturers defect, it is impossible to know if the brakes are functioning properly. I have found a tsb through your database but it is vague, does my vehicle pose a safety hazard? This vehicle is completely original, except tires. Please advise.

Parking brake: conventional
- What is wrong
- The parking brake control self-adjust pawl does not line up properly with the self-adjust rachet causing the pawl to slip over one or more teeth in the rachet.
- Risk
- When the above occurs, it can result in parking brake system ineffectiveness. The parking brake will not hold the vehicle, causing the vehicle to roll freely, if the transmission is not left in gear.
- Remedy
- A wedge will be installed which will serve to lock the parking brake self-adjust mechanism pawl into engagement with the rachet. Also, owners will be advised to release and reapply the parking brake whenever tooth skip occurs and will be reminded to always turn off the engine and leave the vehicle in gear when the vehicle is parked.
