2017 emergency brake question

so i typically dont use the E brake at all. during my trans shifter issues i was needing to daily- that issue has been resolved now. yesterday i went to use the e barake agsain (month later) and the pedal went to the floor with 0 effort or effect. i have not looked into this closer but can someone show a basic diagram and what to trace out to see what/where the issue could be?
thanks

the cable goes through the floor, follows along the frame to the rear tires.

Your e-brake consists of small shoe type that ride inside the rotor assembly. Google and you tube can show tons
