Parking brake should be unaffected if you only changed the rear disc pads. The parking brake self adjusts every time you back up and apply the brakes if it is functioning properly.
In this tutorial, we learn how to check the brake pads on a 2008 Dodge Caravan, check the thickness of the brake pads on the
car to see if they are thick enough. The rear pad is surrounded by a
gold piece called the "shoe" and the rotor. The front pad has to be
inspected by laying on your back and looking for the pad to see how
thick it is. If the thickness is not enough, you need to replace it as
soon as possible. Make sure the brake pads are up to t
This is probably the begginning of needing new brake pads. Brake pads have wear indicators that will scratch and/or squeal when the pads are starting to run out. Have them checked soon because if they continue to scratch badly you will need to replace the rotors too and that raises the price alot.
when you have antilock "problem " on this vehicle you automatically get t\c light, I fixed this problem for a friend when the tire rubbed through one of his abs sensor cables .. just re-connected it don't spend $500 at a "RELIABLE" shop if you can fix this yourself....they will never tell you how easy it might be to repair!!
Dodge, Plymouth, and Chrysler minivans are notorious for poor longevity of the front brake pads. Also, the low friction material "squeel" tabs are none to brake off or just not do the job they are meant to do. That is why people end up haveing to replace their rotors. I am an ASE certified mechanic with just under 15 years of experience. I tell all my customers with Chrysler minivan products to have their brakes at least once a year to avoid costly repair bills. If you can catch your brake pads before they start grinding into the rotors that's an expense everyone can afford to not have.
