The 1996 Toyota Tercel brake cable runs from the emergency brake lever to the rear wheel. The emergency brake is on the passenger side rear wheel.

the emergency brake pads ARE the REAR brake pads.
Sound like you have a e-brake cable that is frozen. Take cable off at wheel end and if cable retracts then look inside the brake assemble. If it don't, replace the cable.
It he emergency brake has slack in it, then you more than likely the rear pads/shoes are worn out. Inspect the rear brakes.
The emergency brake cable is connected to the brake shoe on the rear brakes. You can adjust the emergency brake by loosening or tightening the nut on the end of the cable.
The emergency brakes are whatever your rear brake pads are.
The emergency brake cable is probably seized and the emergency brake is not releasing.
Front emergency brake? Do you mean a frozen cable? If front brake is locked may be a frozen caliper Emergency brake tied to rear brakes only
