The best way to tell when you need brakes is by squeaking, when the brakes are rubbing against the metal, when your brake pedal goes all the way to the floor and when you are running out of break fluid.

What would happen if I drove my Hyundai Accent 2005 model with the hand brake pulled for about 2 kms?
Driving with the parking brake on wears the rear brakes. (Almost all cars have the parking brakes work on the rear brakes.) How much depends on how hard they were set and how far and fast the car was driven. It is possible that the rear brake system was overheated a bit, but in a mile or two it probably wasn't overheated that much, and it almost certainly wasn't worn that much, either. (How do the brakes work now? How do they sound? How do they feel?) A brake shop could probably tell in short order. Many of them do free checks on brakes. The experts there can provide some basic information about what may have happened. The concerned person would make a couple of phone calls and get the scoop from someone who does brakes for a living.
Why would you brake light and ABS light stay lit on the dash when the brakes are new?
The abs light is a separate system from the brakes.. I know that sounds funny but the abs system is after the break system. Your brakes will still work if the abs is inop. The brake light is usually a fluid level indicator in the master cylinder, not a light to tell you to replace the pads or shoes. I would look for a fluid leak or a problem with the parking brake.
How do you tell if a 1996 Honda Civic Lx has ABS?
Slam on your brakes. If your brakes lock up, then you do not have ABS. If your brakes do not lock up and you hear a knocking type of noise from your brakes, then you have ABS.

After replacing the parking brake shoes brake shoes calipers rotors the parking brake will not hold why is the parking brake not functional on a 2001 Suburban?
The parking brake needs adjusted, Look under the drivers side body and you will see 1 long cable coming from the front of the cab and running towards the rear close to the frame and just behind the cab or were the bed panel starts you will see that cable going to a bracket that has a long stud- bolt in it and then you will see 2 cables that head towards the rear wheels. Tighten the nut or stud that's in the bracket, and it will start to tighten the 2 cables that go to the parking brakes in the rear. Adjust it a little at a time tell the parking brake in the truck starts getting tighter and until it holds the truck from moving. If you adjust the cables to tight then the parking brakes will drag NOT GOOD. When you think your done and the parking brake is kinda hard to push and it will hold the truck from moving. Check yourself by putting your truck in neutral with parking brake off. And it should roll, If not then loosen cable up a little till it does roll free when not ingauged.
