check your brake fluid. you probably ran it low and now there is air in the system. there may even be a leak. you will need to top off the reservoir and then bleed the brakes. look for brake fluid leaking around the inside of the wheels to try to locate the leak.

How do you tighten the parking brake on a 2002 Nissan frontier?
10 milimeter socket adjustment screw located at emergency brake pedal , look for adjustment nut to the left of emergency brake pedal .................................................................................................................................. before you adjust there, you may want to make sure your brake shoes are adjusted up (assuming they are drum) properly, which would likely take care of the problem, because if there is excessive space between the shoes and surface of drum, you will be asking the cable to compensate for this problem, which would cause it to travel more than it should. Also, excessive space between shoes and drums will also cause your hydraulic system brake pedal to go down farther than it should, which will not be cured by adjusting at the pedal or handle
