Thats it

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.

Check your rear brakes and their adjustment. If parking brake is seperate check them also. The brakes have to work and be adjusted properly then adjust parking brake.

The rear drum brakes:

• Have internal shoes that expand against the brake drum (1126).
• Are a single-anchor type.
• Are actuated by one rear wheel cylinder (2262).
• Have two pistons in the rear wheel cylinder (2261). One exerts force against the upper end of the primary shoe; the other exerts force against the upper end of the secondary shoe.
• Adjust rear brake shoes and linings (2200) automatically.
• Need manual brake adjustment if the adjusters are not operating properly or after the rear brake shoes and linings have been replaced.

When the brake pedal is applied, hydraulic fluid pressure forces the pistons in the rear wheel cylinder outward, moving the rear brake shoes and linings against the brake drum.
The rear drum brake system includes the parking brake mechanism. Refer to Section 206-05 .

Hope this helps. This is out of the factory manual. Let me know if this works for you.
PARKING BRAKE NOTE: Tensioner adjustment is only necessary when the tensioner, or a cable has been replaced or disconnected for service. When adjustment is necessary, perform adjustment only as described in the following procedure. This is necessary to avoid faulty park brake operation.

1. Raise vehicle.
2. Fully back off cable tensioner adjusting nut at equalizer to create slack in cables.
3. Remove rear wheel/tire assemblies. Remove brake calipers and rotors.
4. Verify park brakes are in good condition and operating properly.
5. Verify park brake cables operate freely and are not binding, or seized.
6. Check park brake shoe adjustment.
7. Reinstall rotors and make sure rotors turn freely.
8. Reinstall brake calipers. Tighten guide pin bolts to 41 n·m (30 ft.lbs.)
9. Reinstall wheel/tire assemblies after brake shoe adjustment is complete.
10. Lower vehicle enough for access to park brake foot pedal. Fully apply park brakes

NOTE: Leave park brakes applied until adjustment is complete.

1. Raise vehicle again.
2. Mark tensioner rod 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) from edge of tensioner bracket Adjustment Mark On Cable Tensioner Rod
3. Tighten adjusting nut at equalizer until mark on tensioner rod moves into alignment with tensioner bracket

CAUTION: Do not loosen, or tighten the tensioner adjusting nut for any reason after completing adjustment.

1. Lower vehicle until rear wheels are 15-20 cm (6-8 in.) off shop floor.
2. Release park brake foot pedal and verify that rear wheels rotate freely without drag. Verify pedal returns to fully released position.
3. Lower the vehicle

Park Brake Adjustment (Disc Brake)

Tools Required

j 21177-A Drum-to-Brake Shoe Clearance Gage

Park Brake Shoe Adjustment

Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution.

Important: The park brake shoes must be adjusted before the park brake cable tension is adjusted.Set the J 21177-A so it contacts the inside diameter of the rotor

1. Position the J 21177-A over the shoe and the lining at the widest point.
2. Turn the adjuster nut until the lining just contacts the J 21177-A. Park brake shoe to brake rotor clearance: 0.6604 mm (0.026 in)
3. Repeat steps 1-3 for the opposite side.

Park Brake Cable Tension Adjustment

Important: Before you adjust the park brake cable tension, verify that the park brake shoes are adjusted to provide a clearance of 0.6604 mm (0.026 in) and the rear disc brake rotors are installed.

1. Verify the self adjuster lock-out pin has been removed.
2. Fully apply and release the park brake pedal 3 times.

Check the return spring on the parking brake lever as wll as the gear teeth:

1. Make sure the parking brake cable is free and is not frozen or sticking. Make sure the brake shoes are properly adjusted.
2. Raise and safely support the rear wheels.
3. Apply the parking brake while counting the number of notches. Check the desired parking brake stroke; it should be 7-9 notches.
4. If adjustment is required, remove the adjusting nut cover and turn the adjusting nut located at the front of the parking brake cable.
5. After adjustment, check there is no looseness between the adjusting nut and the parking brake lever, then tighten the locknut.

Do not adjust the parking brake too tight. If the number of notches is less than specification, the cable has been pulled too much and the automatic adjuster will fail or the brakes will drag.

1. With the parking brake lever in the released position, turn the rear wheels to confirm that the rear brakes are not dragging.
2. Lower the vehicle.
3. Check that the parking brake holds the vehicle on an incline.
