Hi all, is there a way to adjust the emergency brake? i have a 2003 pilot.

The parking brake pedal should travel ~4-6 clicks when press. If it's excessive, adjust the parking brake by:

1. Raising the rear vehicle and properly supported by jack stand.

2. Tighten the adjusting nut above the parking brake pedal until the parking brakes drag slightly when the rear wheels are turned.

3. Back-off the adjusting nut in half turn increments and check for proper adjustment(4-6 clicks) when parking brake pedal is press.

Note: you only need to do this minor adjustment if you are not replacing the parking brake shoes.

Technician A says that God created all SUV's equal, it is just the name you are buying. Technician B says that one Honda Pilot web forum is just as good as the next.

Who is correct?

A. Technician A only

B. Technician B only

C. Both Technician A and B

D Neither Technician A or B

The correct answer is "D" for all your Honda Pilot needs there is only one place to go.....hondapilot.org

Somebody's been doing too many modules. hehehe
