To resolve the parking brake malfunction indicated in the 3008, it is necessary to visit a repair shop where a diagnostic tool can be connected to read the fault code and determine the cause before the issue can be fixed. Possible causes of the parking brake malfunction include: 1. Excessive brake clearance, with too little contact area between the brake shoes and drum. The brake path or shoes may be oil-contaminated or hardened, with rivets exposed, or the brake drum or disc may be severely deformed. 2. Wear and looseness in the operating mechanism components, leading to excessive clearance. Additional information about the parking brake is as follows: 1. The parking brake is commonly referred to as the handbrake. Its function is to provide resistance when the car is parked, preventing the car from rolling. 2. There are different types of parking brakes, such as the mechanical mechanisms operated by hand or foot as mentioned above. Additionally, high-end vehicles increasingly use electronically controlled parking systems, commonly known as electronic handbrakes.
