Failed Inspection : "Brakes do not hold"
 

So I failed inspection and been driving around with a red "REJECTED" sticker on the corner of my windshield.

Reason for failure: "Brakes do not hold"...has something to do with the eBrake

Anyone experience this before or have any info for me about fixing this at a reasonable cost

Thanx in advance

WHOAH! You guys go through inspection there in Jersey? Is this a state by state law? I have never gone through inspection here in California.

yea i think it is state by state so consider yourself lucky man...you breathe a lot cleaner air out there in cali, prob one of the reasons why inspection is required by law here

The e-brake will adjust automatically but you can tighten if you get cable stretch or other factors. Worsted case is you need new e-brake Shoes located inside the rear rotors. Not hard to DIY.

I've never done that before. The link is for the E36 3series but it should be the same on X.

Thanks for the replies
