Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to ensure safety. Remove any existing parking brake cable by loosening the mounting clamps and carefully detaching the connector.
2. Measure Length: Use a tape measure to determine the required length of the new cable, accounting for slack needed during installation.
3. Attach Connector: Slide the ABS K19988 connector onto the cable end and secure it with the provided locking mechanism. Ensure that the connector aligns correctly with the vehicle’s parking brake lever or actuator.
4. Mount Cable: Route the cable along its designated path, avoiding sharp bends or excessive tension. Secure it using the mounting brackets supplied with the vehicle’s brake system.
5. Tension Adjustment: Apply the correct tension by following the manufacturer’s torque specifications for the parking brake lever. Use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve precise adjustment.
6. Testing: Reconnect the battery, engage the parking brake, and verify that it holds the vehicle securely. Release the brake and ensure smooth operation without binding or excessive play.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check for signs of wear such as fraying, corrosion, or kinks every 10,000 miles or annually.
• Lubrication: Apply a light coat of brake grease to the cable’s internal components if recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Tension Check: Re‑tension the cable periodically to compensate for any elongation that may occur over time.
• Replacement Interval: Replace the cable after 20,000 miles or sooner if any damage is observed, ensuring continued safety and performance.

Applications Across Vehicle Models

The ABS K19988 Park Brake Cable is engineered to fit a variety of vehicle models that utilize the K19988 specification. This includes but is not limited to:
