If you pull the hand break car won't stop?

The e brake on these cars does not self adjust they must be periodically adjusted and since most people dont bother they get way out of adjustment. My 02 didnt work when i bought it but once i pulled the rotors they looked brand new. I just adjusted the hell out of em and they worked fine. I believe you have a couple of issues though because the e brake needing adjustment will not cause an abs light. Abs problems will however cause the brake light to illuminate. Id adjust the e brake for sure and then troubleshoot the abs problems

Verdad Gallardo Yes there is a star wheel adjuster that sits in the opening of the e brake pad and one end of it is threaded into the housing just use a flathead to turn it a little at a time checking periodically to make sure the rotor still fits. Kinda hard to explain but once you see it its fairly self explanitory
Yeah, there is basically a drum brake inside each of the disk brake rotor hats at the rear. The main difference is that instead of 2 shoes, there is only one giant horseshoe with a gap at the top for the starwheel adjuster and ebrake actuator. The horseshoe flexes to press outward using the two pads, one glued on each side.
