If it has rear drum brakes jack up the back of the vehicle and pull off a drum click up the adjusting screw on the bottom a little bit say 5 or clicks then try to put drum back on if it goes on really easily pull it back off and adjust another 5 clicks or so go till drum wont go on and back the adjustment the other way useing a screw driver or something to hold the arm off of the adjusting screw so you can turn the screw back the other direction about 3 clicks till drum goes on snug but not too tight do the same for the other side.If you have rear disc brakes you have to adjust the cable going to the brake caliper adjust it tighter by about a half an inch or so at a time then go push on the e brake pedal it will get a little more resistance behind it after it gets a little tighter put a wheel back on and try to turn it with e brake on if you cant turn it release it try to turn wheel again if you can its adjusted some have a cable for both rear wheels adjust both as needed.

Electronic Parking Brake Description tip if ice berg

Vehicles with the electric parking brake have a switch in the center console, which takes the place of the manual parking brake system, the foot pedal and release handle. In case of insufficient electrical power, the electric parking brake cannot be applied or released.
Occasionally, the electronic parking brake will automatically apply when the vehicle is not moving. The electronic parking brake performs a operational check every 50 key cycles. When this check is being performed, the park brake light on the instrument cluster becomes illuminated. This function does not affect the normal operation of the vehicle.
Electric Parking Brake Control Module The parking brake control module has an internal motor, apply actuator, release actuator, and temperature sensor. The parking brake control module also contains the logic for applying and releasing the parking brake when commanded by the park brake control switch. When the parking brake control module receives a signal from the switch the internal circuit board temperature is checked to verify it is within operating range before the control module performs the requested operation.
The electric parking brake module receives hard wired signals from the apply/release switch and communication enable. The electric parking brake module receives wheel speed sensor signals, engine torque, gear information, brake pedal signal, and etc. through GM-LAN.

AND MORE, LOTS MORE, READ THE MANUAL

How to adjust parking brake. do you need to take anything apart?

You cannot adjust the cables on a minivan manually. the tension is automaitcally adjusted by the self adjuster on the pedal release.

The park brake cables on this vehicle have an automatic self adjuster built into the park brake pedal mechanism. When the foot operated park brake pedal is in its released (upward most) position, a clock spring automatically adjusts the park brake cables. The park brake cables are adjusted (tensioned) just enough to remove all the slack from the cables. The automatic adjuster system will not over adjust the cables causing rear brake drag.

Due to the automatic adjust feature of the park brake pedal, adjustment of the parking brake cables on these vehicles relies on proper drum brake.

When the park brake pedal is applied the self adjuster is by-passed and the pedal operates normally to engage the park brakes.

When a service procedure needs to be performed on the park brake pedal or the park brake cables, the automatic self adjuster can be manually locked out by the service technician.
