BASE BRAKE SYSTEM OPERATION
When a vehi cl e needs to be stopped, the dri ver
appl i es the brake pedal . The brake pedal pushes the
i nput rod of the power brake booster i nto the booster.
The booster uses vacuum to ease pedal effort as force
i s transferred through the booster to the master cyl -
i nder. The boosters output rod pushes i n the master
cyl i nders pri mary and secondary pi stons appl yi ng
hydraul i c pressure through the chassi s brake tubes
and proporti oni ng val ves (rear onl y) to the brakes at
each ti re and wheel assembl y.
Front di sc brakes control the braki ng of the front
wheel s; rear braki ng i s control l ed by rear drum
brakes as standard equi pment. Rear di sc brakes and
an anti l ock brake system (ABS) wi th tracti on control
are opti onal .
The hydraul i c brake system i s di agonal l y spl i t on
both the non-anti l ock and anti l ock braki ng systems.
Thi s means the l eft front and ri ght rear brakes are
on one hydraul i c ci rcui t and the ri ght front and l eft
rear are on the other.
Vehi cl es equi pped wi th the opti onal anti l ock brake
system (ABS) use a system desi gnated Mark 20e.
Thi s system shares most base brake hardware used
on vehi cl es wi thout ABS. A vehi cl e equi pped wi th
ABS, however, uses a di fferent master cyl i nder and
brake tubes. Al so i ncl uded i n the ABS system i s an
i ntegrated control uni t (I CU) and four wheel speed
sensors. These components are descri bed i n detai l i n
the ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM secti on i n thi s
group of the servi ce manual . Al l vehi cl es wi th ABS
come standard wi th four-wheel -di sc brakes and trac-
ti on control .
The parki ng brakes are hand-operated. When
appl i ed, the parki ng brake l ever pul l s on cabl es that
actuate brake shoes at each rear wheel . The parki ng
brake l ever has an automati c adjusti ng feature that
takes up any excessi ve sl ack i n the parki ng brake
cabl e system.
BASE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
BRAKE PEDAL
A suspended-type brake pedal i s used on thi s vehi -
cl e. The pedal pi vots on a shaft mounted i n the pedal
support bracket under the i nstrument panel . The
pedal connects to the power brake booster i nput rod
and pushes i t i n when the pedal i s appl i ed.
The brake pedal and i ts pad are servi ceabl e sepa-
ratel y.
POWER BRAKE BOOSTER
There are two di fferent power brake booster
desi gns, al though external l y they appear the same.
Al l vehi cl es use a 205 mm tandem di aphragm power
brake booster. The two boosters are i nternal l y tuned
di fferentl y dependi ng on whether the vehi cl e i s
equi pped wi th the standard front di sc/rear drum
brake combi nati on or the opti onal front di sc/rear di sc
(four-wheel di sc) brake combi nati on. I f the power
brake booster requi res repl acement, be sure i t i s
repl aced wi th the correct part.
The power brake booster can be i denti fi ed by the
tag attached to the body of the booster assembl y (Fi g.
1). Thi s tag contai ns the fol l owi ng i nformati on: The
producti on part number of the power brake booster,
the date i t was bui l t and who manufactured i t.
The power brake booster reduces the amount of
force requi red by the dri ver to obtai n the necessary
hydraul i c pressure to stop the vehi cl e.
The power brake booster i s vacuum-operated. The
vacuum i s suppl i ed from the i ntake mani fol d on the
engi ne through the power brake booster check val ve
(Fi g. 2).
As the brake pedal i s depressed, the power booster
i nput rod moves forward. Thi s opens and cl oses
val ves i n the power brake booster, al l owi ng atmo-
spheri c pressure to enter on one si de of a di aphragm.
Engi ne vacuum i s al ways present on the other si de.
Thi s di fference i n pressure forces the output rod of
the power booster out agai nst the pri mary pi ston of
the master cyl i nder. As the pi stons i n the master cyl -
i nder move forward, hydraul i c pressure i s created i n
the brake system.

The power brake vacuum booster assembl y mounts
on the engi ne si de of the dash panel . The booster
i nput push rod connects to the brake pedal . A vac-
uum l i ne connects the power booster to the i ntake
mani fol d. The master cyl i nder i s bol ted to the front
of the power brake booster.
MASTER CYLINDER
The base brakes on a vehi cl e not equi pped wi th
ABS use a standard compensati ng port master cyl i n-
der, whi l e vehi cl es equi pped wi th ABS use a center
val ve desi gn master cyl i nder. The i nformati on pro-
vi ded here appl i es onl y to the non-ABS master cyl i n-
der. For i nformati on on the master cyl i nder used on
vehi cl es wi th ABS, refer to the ANTI LOCK BRAKE
SYSTEM secti on i n thi s servi ce manual group.
The non-ABS master cyl i nder i s a four-outl et
desi gn wi th two screw-i n proporti oni ng val ves. One i s
attached di rectl y to the i nboard si de of the master
cyl i nder housi ng whi l e the other i s attached to the
bottom (Fi g. 3). Vehi cl es equi pped wi th rear drum
brakes use a master cyl i nder wi th a 22.23 mm (0.875
i n.) bore di ameter, whi l e vehi cl es equi pped wi th rear
di sc brakes use a 23.82 mm (0.937 i n.) bore di ameter
master cyl i nder.
The master cyl i nder body i s an anodi zed al umi num
casti ng. I t has a machi ned bore to accept the master
cyl i nder pi ston and al so has threaded ports wi th
seats for hydraul i c brake l i ne connecti ons.
The master cyl i nders pri mary outl et ports suppl y
hydraul i c pressure to the ri ght front and l eft rear
brakes whi l e the secondary outl et ports suppl y
hydraul i c pressure to the l eft front and ri ght rear
brakes (Fi g. 3).
BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR
The master cyl i nder has the brake fl ui d reservoi r
mounted on top of i t whi ch gravi ty feeds brake fl ui d
to the master cyl i nder when i t i s requi red. The res-
ervoi r i s made of see-through pl asti c and i t houses
the brake fl ui d l evel swi tch.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH
The brake fl ui d l evel swi tch i s l ocated i n the brake
fl ui d reservoi r on the master cyl i nder (Fi g. 1). I t
senses the l evel of the brake fl ui d wi thi n the reser-
voi r and when the l evel drops bel ow an acceptabl e
l evel , the swi tch cl oses and compl etes the ground ci r-
cui t for the red BRAKE warni ng l amp. Thi s turns on
the red BRAKE warni ng l amp. For addi ti onal i nfor-
mati on, refer to RED BRAKE WARNI NG LAMP al so
i n thi s secti on.
PROPORTIONING VALVE
NOTE: Only vehicles without antilock brakes have
proportioning valves. Vehicles with antilock brakes
have electronic brake distribution that is built into
the integrated control unit.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
Proporti oni ng val ves bal ance front to rear braki ng
by control l i ng the brake fl ui d hydraul i c pressure to
the rear brakes. Under l i ght pedal appl i cati on, the
proporti oni ng val ve al l ows normal fl ui d fl ow to the
rear brakes. Under hi gher pedal effort, the val ve
reduces fl ui d pressure to the rear brakes.
The non-anti l ock master cyl i nder i s a four-outl et
desi gn wi th two screw-i n proporti oni ng val ves
attached di rectl y to the master cyl i nder housi ng (Fi g.
3). One proporti oni ng val ve control s each rear brake.
BRAKE TUBES AND HOSES
The purpose of the brake tubes and fl ex hoses i s to
transfer the pressuri zed brake fl ui d devel oped by the
master cyl i nder to the brakes at each wheel of the
vehi cl e. The fl ex hoses connect the chassi s brake
tubes, whi ch are mounted to the vehi cl es underbody,
to the brake at each wheel , al l owi ng for movement of
the vehi cl es suspensi on. The brake tubes are steel
wi th a corrosi on-resi stant nyl on coati ng appl i ed to
the external surfaces. The fl ex hoses are made of
rei nforced rubber.
DISC BRAKES (FRONT)
The front di sc brakes consi st of the fol l owi ng com-
ponents (Fi g. 4):
Brake cal i per - si ngl e-pi ston, fl oati ng type
Brake shoes and l i ni ngs
Brake rotor
When the brakes are appl i ed, fl ui d pressure i s sent
to each brake cal i per. The pressure at the cal i per i s
exerted equal l y agai nst the cal i per pi ston. The pres-
sure appl i ed to the pi ston i s transmi tted di rectl y to
the i nboard brake shoe. Thi s forces the shoe l i ni ng
agai nst the i nner surface of the brake rotor. At the
same ti me, fl ui d pressure wi thi n the cal i per pi ston
bore forces the cal i per to sl i de i nward on i ts gui de
pi ns. Thi s acti on bri ngs the outboard shoe l i ni ng i nto
contact wi th the outer surface of the brake rotor.
Thi s pressure on both si des of the brake rotor causes
fri cti on, bri ngi ng the vehi cl e to a stop.
BRAKE CALIPER
The cal i per i s a one-pi ece casti ng wi th the i nboard
si de contai ni ng a si ngl e pi ston cyl i nder bore (Fi g. 5).
The front di sc brake cal i per pi ston, i s manufac-
tured from a phenol i c compound. The outsi de di ame-
ter of the cal i per pi ston i s 54 mm.
A square-cut rubber pi ston seal i s l ocated i n a
machi ned groove i n the cal i per cyl i nder bore. Thi s
provi des a hydraul i c seal between the pi ston and the
cyl i nder wal l (Fi g. 6). The pi ston seal i s desi gned to
pul l the pi ston back i nto the bore of the cal i per when
the brake pedal i s rel eased. Thi s mai ntai ns the
proper brake shoe-to-rotor cl earance.
A rubber dust boot i s i nstal l ed i n the cyl i nder bore
openi ng and i n a groove i n the pi ston (Fi g. 6). Thi s
prevents contami nati on i n the bore area.
The cal i per i s mounted to the steeri ng knuckl e
usi ng bushi ngs, sl eeves and two gui de pi n bol ts (Fi g.
5). The gui de pi n bol ts thread di rectl y i nto bosses on
the steeri ng knuckl e.
Two machi ned abutments on the steeri ng knuckl e
posi ti on the cal i per. The gui de pi n bol ts, sl eeves, and
bushi ngs control the si de-to-si de movement of the
cal i per. Al l of the front brake force generated duri ng
braki ng of the vehi cl e i s taken up di rectl y by the
steeri ng knuckl es of the vehi cl e.
BRAKE SHOES AND LININGS
There are two brake shoes mounted to each cal i per,
one i nboard and one outboard (Fi g. 5). When brake
shoes are repl aced, onl y brake shoes meeti ng the
ori gi nal equi pment manufacturer (OEM) formul ati on
(such as Mopar repl acement parts) shoul d be used.
As front di sc brake shoe l i ni ngs wear, master cyl -
i nder reservoi r brake fl ui d l evel wi l l drop. Fl ui d l evel
shoul d be checked after repl aci ng shoes.
Front di sc brakes are equi pped wi th an audi bl e
wear i ndi cator on the outboard brake pad (Fi g. 5).
Thi s sensor emi ts a sound when the brake l i ni ng
may need i nspecti on or repl acement.

The adapter i s used to mount the brake cal i per to the
vehi cl e (Fi g. 9). The adapter has two machi ned abut-
ments, whi ch are used to posi ti on and al i gn the cal -
i per and brake pads for movement i nboard and
outboard. The adapter al so mounts the parki ng brake
shoes and actuati ng cabl es to the vehi cl e.
PARKING BRAKES
The parki ng brakes (Fi g. 4) consi st of the fol l owi ng
components:
Hand-operated park brake l ever - automati c-ad-
justi ng
Parki ng brake cabl es
Actuati on l evers and struts
Duo-servo parki ng brake assembl y (rear di sc
onl y)
PARKING BRAKE LEVER
Al l vehi cl es are equi pped wi th a center-mounted,
hand-operated parki ng brake l ever mounted between
the front seats (Fi g. 10). Thi s l ever i s an automati c-
adjusti ng type that conti nuousl y appl i es mi ni mal
tensi on to the parki ng brake cabl es to keep them i n
adjustment at al l ti mes. Due to thi s feature, the
parki ng brake cabl e system does not requi re adjust-
ment. Proper parki ng brake system adjustment i s
obtai ned by proper drum brake or drum-i n-hat brake
shoe adjustment. When servi ce i s needed, the l ever
auto-adjust mechani sm must be rel oaded and l ocked
out before servi ce can be performed.
The parki ng brake l ever has a short output cabl e
wi th an equal i zer bracket attached to i t that connects
to the parki ng brake cabl es (Fi g. 10). The output
cabl e can onl y be servi ced as part of the parki ng
brake l ever.
PARKING BRAKE CABLES
There i s an i ndi vi dual parki ng brake cabl e for each
rear wheel that joi ns a parki ng cabl e equal i zer,
attached to the parki ng brake l ever, to the rear park-
i ng brakes. The parki ng brake cabl es are made of
fl exi bl e steel cabl e. Both drum rear brakes and di sc
rear brakes use the same parki ng brake cabl e confi g-
urati on, but the cabl es are di fferent.
PARKING BRAKES
On vehi cl es equi pped wi th rear drum brakes, the
rear wheel servi ce brakes al so act as the vehi cl es
parki ng brakes. The rear drum brake shoes, when
acti ng as parki ng brakes, are mechani cal l y operated
usi ng an i nternal actuati ng l ever and strut connected
to the fl exi bl e steel parki ng brake cabl e.
The parki ng brakes on vehi cl es equi pped wi th rear
di sc brakes consi st of a smal l duo-servo brake assem-
bl y mounted to the di sc brake cal i per adapter (Fi g.
11). The hat (center) secti on of the rear brake rotor
serves as the braki ng surface (drum) for the parki ng
brakes (Fi g. 12). Thi s parki ng brake appl i cati on uses
the same operati ng cabl e confi gurati on as the drum
brake equi pped vehi cl es, but di fferent cabl es.

BRAKE ROTOR
Any servi ci ng of the rotor requi res extreme care to
mai ntai n the rotor wi thi n servi ce tol erances to
ensure proper brake acti on.
Excessi ve runout or wobbl e i n a rotor can i ncrease
pedal travel due to pi ston knock-back. Thi s i ncreases
gui de pi n sl eeve wear due to the tendency of the cal -
i per to fol l ow the rotor wobbl e.
When di agnosi ng a brake noi se or pul sati on, the
machi ned di sc braki ng surface shoul d be checked and
i nspected.
BRAKING SURFACE INSPECTION
Li ght braki ng surface scori ng and wear i s accept-
abl e. I f heavy scori ng or warpi ng i s evi dent, the rotor
must be refaced or repl aced. Refer to SERVI CE PRO-
CEDURES i n thi s secti on of thi s group for i nforma-
ti on on brake rotor machi ni ng.
Excessi ve wear and scori ng of the rotor can cause
i mproper l i ni ng contact on the rotors braki ng sur-
face. I f the ri dges on the rotor are not removed before
new brake shoes are i nstal l ed, i mproper wear of the
shoes wi l l resul t.
I f a vehi cl e has not been dri ven for a peri od of
ti me, the rotors braki ng surface wi l l rust i n the
areas not covered by the brake shoes at that ti me.
Once the vehi cl e i s dri ven, noi se and chatter from
the di sc brakes can resul t when the brakes are
appl i ed.
5 - 12 BRAKES PL
Some di scol orati on or wear of the rotor surface i s
normal and does not requi re resurfaci ng when l i n-
i ngs are repl aced. I f cracks or burned spots are evi -
dent, the rotor must be repl aced.
ROTOR MINIMUM THICKNESS

Mi ni mum thi ckness speci fi cati ons are cast on the
rotors unmachi ned surface (Fi g. 14). Li mi ts can al so
be found i n the tabl e at the end of thi s brake rotor
i nformati on.
ROTOR THICKNESS VARIATION
Thi ckness vari ati on i n a rotors braki ng surface
can resul t i n pedal pul sati on, chatter and surge. Thi s
can al so be caused by excessi ve runout i n the rotor or
the hub.
Rotor thi ckness vari ati on measurements shoul d be
made i n conjuncti on wi th measuri ng runout. Mea-
sure thi ckness of the brake rotor at 12 equal poi nts
around the rotor braki ng surface wi th a mi crometer
at a radi us approxi matel y 25 mm (1 i nch) from edge
of rotor (Fi g. 15). I f thi ckness measurements vary by
more than 0.013 mm (0.0005 i nch), the rotor shoul d
refaced or repl aced. Refer to SERVI CE PROCE-
DURES i n thi s secti on of thi s group for i nformati on
on brake rotor machi ni ng.
ROTOR RUNOUT
On-vehi cl e rotor runout i s the combi nati on of the
i ndi vi dual runout of the hub face and the runout of
the rotor. (The hub and rotor runouts are separabl e).
To measure rotor runout on the vehi cl e, fi rst remove
the ti re and wheel assembl y. Rei nstal l the wheel
mounti ng nuts on the studs, ti ghteni ng the rotor to
the hub. Mount the Di al I ndi cator, Speci al Tool
C-3339, wi th Mounti ng Adaptor, Speci al Tool SP- 1910
on steeri ng arm. The di al i ndi cator pl unger shoul d
contact braki ng surface of rotor approxi matel y one
i nch from edge of rotor (Fi g. 16). Check l ateral runout
on both si des of the rotor, marki ng the l ow and hi gh
spots on both. Runout l i mi ts can be found i n the tabl e
at the end of thi s brake rotor i nformati on.
I f runout i s i n excess of the speci fi cati on, check the
l ateral runout of the hub face. Before removi ng the
rotor from the hub, pl ace a chal k mark across both
the rotor and the one wheel stud cl osest to where the
hi gh runout measurement was taken. Thi s way, the
ori gi nal mounti ng spot of the rotor on the hub i s
i ndexed (Fi g. 17).
Remove the rotor from the hub.
NOTE: Clean the hub face surface before checking
runout. This provides a clean surface to get an
accurate indicator reading.
Mount Di al I ndi cator, Speci al Tool C-3339, and
Mounti ng Adaptor, Speci al Tool SP-1910, to the steer-

CALIPER PISTON REMOVAL
WARNING: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD HIGH
PRESSURE AIR EVER BE USED TO REMOVE A PIS-
TON FROM A CALIPER BORE. PERSONAL INJURY
COULD RESULT FROM SUCH A PRACTICE.
NOTE: The safest way to remove the piston from
the caliper bore is to use the hydraulic pressure of
the vehicles brake system.
(1) Fol l owi ng the removal procedure i n DI SC
BRAKE SHOES found i n thi s secti on, remove the
cal i per from the brake rotor and hang the assembl y
on a wi re hook away from rotor and body of the vehi -
cl e so brake fl ui d cannot get on these components.
Remove the brake shoes, and pl ace a smal l pi ece of
wood between the pi ston and cal i per fi ngers.
(2) Careful l y depress the brake pedal to hydraul i -
cal l y push pi ston out of i ts bore. Once compl eted,
appl y and hol d down the brake pedal to any posi ti on
beyond the fi rst i nch of pedal travel usi ng a brake
pedal hol di ng tool . Thi s wi l l prevent the fl ui d i n the
master cyl i nder reservoi r from compl etel y drai ni ng
out.
(3) Di sconnect the brake fl ui d fl ex hose from the
cal i per assembl y and remove i t from the vehi cl e.
CALIPER SEAL REMOVAL
CAUTION: Do not use excessive force when clamp-
ing caliper in vise. Excessive vise pressure will
cause bore distortion.
(1) To di sassembl e the cal i per, mount i t i n a vi se
equi pped wi th protecti ve jaws.
(2) Remove the pi ston dust boot from the cal i per
and di scard (Fi g. 118).
NOTE: Do not use a screw driver or other metal
tool for seal removal. Using such tools can scratch
the bore or leave burrs on the seal groove edges.
(3) Usi ng a soft tool such as a pl asti c tri m sti ck,
work the pi ston seal out of i ts groove i n cal i per pi s-
ton bore (Fi g. 119). Di scard the ol d seal .
(4) Cl ean the pi ston bore and dri l l ed passage ways
usi ng al cohol or a sui tabl e sol vent. Wi pe i t dry usi ng

(5) I nspect the pi ston bore for scori ng or pi tti ng.
Bores that show l i ght scratches or corrosi on can usu-
al l y be cl eared of the l i ght scratches or corrosi on
usi ng crocus cl oth. Bores that have deep scratches or

NOTE: During the honing procedure, coat the
stones and bore with brake fluid. After honing the
bore, carefully clean the seal and boot grooves with
a stiff non-metallic rotary brush. Use extreme care
in cleaning the caliper after honing. Remove all dirt
and grit by flushing the caliper bore with fresh
clean brake fluid; wipe it dry with a clean, lint free
cloth and then clean it a second time.
(6) I nspect the cal i per pi ston for pi tti ng, scratches,
or any physi cal damage. Repl ace the pi ston i f there i s
evi dence of scratches, pi tti ng or physi cal damage.
CALIPER SEAL AND PISTON INSTALLATION
NOTE: Never use an old piston seal.
(1) Di p the new pi ston seal i n cl ean brake fl ui d
and i nstal l i t i n the groove of the cal i per bore. The
seal shoul d be started at one area of the groove and
gentl y worked around and i nto the groove (Fi g. 121)

(3) Posi ti on the dust boot over the pi ston after
coati ng i t wi th brake fl ui d.
CAUTION: Force applied to the piston to seat it in
the bore must be applied uniformly to avoid cock-
ing and binding of the piston.

ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM OPERATION
Thi s secti on covers the physi cal and operati onal
descri pti ons, and the on-car servi ce procedures for
the Mark 20e Anti l ock Brake System (ABS) wi th
tracti on control . I t i s the onl y anti l ock brake system
avai l abl e on thi s vehi cl e.
The purpose of the anti l ock brake system i s to pre-
vent wheel l ockup under braki ng condi ti ons on vi rtu-
al l y any type of road surface. Anti l ock braki ng i s
desi rabl e because a vehi cl e that i s stopped wi thout
l ocki ng the wheel s retai ns di recti onal stabi l i ty and
some steeri ng capabi l i ty. Thi s al l ows the dri ver to
retai n greater control of the vehi cl e duri ng braki ng.
The tracti on control system reduces wheel sl i p and
mai ntai ns tracti on at the dri vi ng speeds bel ow 56
kph (35 mph) when road condi ti ons cal l for tracti on
assi stance. Refer to TRACTI ON CONTROL SYSTEM
i n thi s secti on for more i nformati on.
Vehi cl es equi pped wi th ABS use el ectroni c brake
di stri buti on (EBD) to bal ance front-to-rear braki ng
when the brakes are appl i ed i n the parti al braki ng
range. Refer to ELECTRONI C BRAKE DI STRI BU-
TI ON i n thi s secti on for more i nformati on.
There are a few performance characteri sti cs of the
Mark 20e Anti l ock Brake System that may at fi rst
seem abnormal , but i n fact are normal . These char-
acteri sti cs are descri bed bel ow.
NORMAL BRAKING
Under normal braki ng condi ti ons, the ABS func-
ti ons the same as a standard base brake system wi th
a di agonal l y spl i t master cyl i nder and conventi onal
vacuum assi st.
ABS BRAKING
ABS operati on i s avai l abl e at al l vehi cl e speeds
above 35 mph. I f a wheel l ocki ng tendency i s
detected duri ng a brake appl i cati on, the brake sys-
tem enters the ABS mode. Duri ng ABS braki ng,
hydraul i c pressure i n the four wheel ci rcui ts i s mod-
ul ated to prevent any wheel from l ocki ng. Each
wheel ci rcui t i s desi gned wi th a set of el ectri c sol e-
noi ds to al l ow modul ati on, al though for vehi cl e sta-
bi l i ty, both rear wheel sol enoi ds recei ve the same
el ectri cal si gnal . Wheel l ockup may be percei ved at
the very end of an ABS stop and i s consi dered nor-
mal .
Duri ng an ABS stop, the brakes hydraul i c system
i s sti l l di agonal l y spl i t. However, the brake system
pressure i s further spl i t i nto four control channel s.
Duri ng anti l ock operati on of the vehi cl es brake sys-
tem, the wheel s are control l ed i ndependentl y and are
on separate control channel s.
The system can bui l d, hol d and rel ease pressure at
each wheel , dependi ng on si gnal s generated by the
wheel speed sensors (WSS) at each wheel and
recei ved at the control l er anti l ock brake (CAB).
PL BRAKES 5 - 65
NOISE AND BRAKE PEDAL FEEL
Duri ng ABS braki ng, some brake pedal movement
may be fel t. I n addi ti on, ABS braki ng wi l l create
ti cki ng, poppi ng, or groani ng noi ses heard by the
dri ver. Thi s i s normal and i s due to pressuri zed fl ui d
bei ng transferred between the master cyl i nder and
the brakes. I f ABS operati on occurs duri ng hard
braki ng, some pul sati on may be fel t i n the vehi cl e
body due to fore-and-aft movement of the suspensi on
as brake pressures are modul ated.
At the end of an ABS stop, ABS i s turned off when
the vehi cl e i s sl owed to a speed of 34 mph. There
may be a sl i ght brake pedal drop anyti me that the
ABS i s deacti vated, such as at the end of the stop
when the vehi cl e speed i s l ess than 3 mph or duri ng
an ABS stop where ABS i s no l onger requi red. These
condi ti ons exi st when a vehi cl e i s bei ng stopped on a
road surface wi th patches of i ce, l oose gravel , or sand
on i t. Al so, stoppi ng a vehi cl e on a bumpy road sur-
face acti vates ABS because of the wheel hop caused
by the bumps.
TIRE NOISE AND MARKS
Al though the ABS system prevents compl ete wheel
l ockup, some wheel sl i p i s desi red i n order to achi eve
opti mum braki ng performance. Wheel sl i p i s defi ned
as fol l ows: 0 percent sl i p means the wheel i s rol l i ng
freel y and 100 percent sl i p means the wheel i s ful l y
l ocked. Duri ng brake pressure modul ati on, wheel sl i p
i s al l owed to reach up to 2530 percent. Thi s means
that the wheel rol l i ng vel oci ty i s 2530 percent l ess
than that of a free rol l i ng wheel at a gi ven vehi cl e
speed. Thi s sl i p may resul t i n some ti re chi rpi ng,
dependi ng on the road surface. Thi s sound shoul d not
be i nterpreted as total wheel l ockup.
Compl ete wheel l ockup normal l y l eaves bl ack ti re
marks on dry pavement. The ABS wi l l not l eave dark
bl ack ti re marks si nce the wheel never reaches a
ful l y l ocked condi ti on. However, ti re marks may be
noti ceabl e as l i ght patched marks.
START-UP CYCLE
When the i gni ti on i s turned on, a poppi ng sound
and a sl i ght brake pedal movement may be noti ced.
The ABS warni ng l amp wi l l al so be on for up to 5
seconds after the i gni ti on i s turned on. When the
vehi cl e i s fi rst dri ven off, a hummi ng may be heard
or fel t by the dri ver at approxi matel y 2040 kph
(1225 mph). Al l of these condi ti ons are a normal
functi on of ABS as the system i s performi ng a di ag-
nosi s check.
PREMATURE ABS CYCLING
Symptoms of premature ABS cycl i ng i ncl ude: cl i ck-
i ng sounds from the sol enoi d val ves; pump/motor
runni ng; and pul sati ons i n the brake pedal . Prema-
ture ABS cycl i ng can occur at any braki ng rate of the
vehi cl e and on any type of road surface. Nei ther the
red BRAKE warni ng l amp, nor the amber ABS warn-
i ng l amp, i l l umi nate and no faul t codes are stored i n
the CAB.
Premature ABS cycl i ng i s a condi ti on that needs to
be correctl y assessed when di agnosi ng probl ems wi th
the anti l ock brake system. I t may be necessary to use
a DRB scan tool to detect and veri fy premature ABS
cycl i ng.
Check the fol l owi ng common causes when di agnos-
i ng premature ABS cycl i ng: damaged tone wheel s;
i ncorrect tone wheel s; damaged steeri ng knuckl e
wheel speed sensor mounti ng bosses; l oose wheel
speed sensor mounti ng bol ts; excessi ve tone wheel
runout; or an excessi vel y l arge tone wheel -to-wheel
speed sensor ai r gap. Gi ve speci al attenti on to these
components when di agnosi ng a vehi cl e exhi bi ti ng
premature ABS cycl i ng.
After di agnosi ng the defecti ve component, repai r or
repl ace i t as requi red. When the component repai r or
repl acement i s compl eted, test dri ve the vehi cl e to
veri fy that premature ABS cycl i ng has been cor-
rected.
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The fol l owi ng i s a detai l ed descri pti on of the
anti l ock brake system components. For i nformati on
on servi ci ng base brake system components used i n
conjuncti on wi th these components, see the BASE
BRAKE SYSTEM found at the begi nni ng of thi s ser-
vi ce manual group.
MASTER CYLINDER
A vehi cl e equi pped wi th ABS uses a di fferent mas-
ter cyl i nder than a vehi cl e that i s not equi pped wi th
ABS. Vehi cl es equi pped wi th ABS use a center port
master cyl i nder wi th onl y two outl et ports (Fi g. 1).
The brake tubes from the pri mary and secondary
outl et ports on the master cyl i nder go di rectl y to the
i ntegrated control uni t (I CU).
The master cyl i nder mounts to the power brake
booster i n the same manner a non-ABS master cyl i n-
der does.
INTEGRATED CONTROL UNIT (ICU)
The hydraul i c control uni t (HCU) and the control -
l er anti l ock brake (CAB) used wi th thi s anti l ock
brake system are combi ned (i ntegrated) i nto one
uni t, whi ch i s cal l ed the i ntegrated control uni t (I CU)
(Fi g. 2). The I CU i s l ocated on the dri vers si de of the
vehi cl e, and i s mounted to the l eft front frame rai l
bel ow the master cyl i nder (Fi g. 1).
5 - 66 BRAKES PL
The ABS wi th tracti on control I CU consi sts of the
fol l owi ng components: the CAB, ei ght (bui l d/decay)
sol enoi d val ves (four i nl et val ves and four outl et
val ves), two hydraul i c shuttl e val ves, two tracti on
control val ves, val ve bl ock, fl ui d accumul ators, a
pump, and an el ectri c pump/motor.
The repl aceabl e components of the I CU are the
HCU and the CAB. No attempt shoul d be made to
servi ce any components found i nsi de of the HCU or
CAB.
CONTROLLER ANTILOCK BRAKE (CAB)
The control l er anti l ock brake (CAB) i s a mi cropro-
cessor-based devi ce whi ch moni tors the ABS system
duri ng normal braki ng and control s i t when the vehi -
cl e i s i n an ABS stop. The CAB i s mounted to the
bottom of the HCU (Fi g. 2). The CAB uses a 25-way
el ectri cal connector on the vehi cl e wi ri ng harness.
The power source for the CAB i s through the i gni ti on
swi tch i n the RUN or ON posi ti on. The CAB i s on
the PCI bus.
The pri mary functi ons of the (CAB) are to:
(1) moni tor the anti l ock brake system for proper
operati on.
(2) detect wheel l ocki ng or wheel sl i ppi ng tenden-
ci es by moni tori ng the speed of al l four wheel s of the
vehi cl e.
(3) control fl ui d modul ati on to the wheel brakes
whi l e the system i s i n an ABS mode or the tracti on
control system i s acti vated.
(4) store di agnosti c i nformati on.
(5) provi de communi cati on to the DRB scan tool
whi l e i n di agnosti c mode.
The CAB constantl y moni tors the anti l ock brake
system for proper operati on. I f the CAB detects a
faul t, i t wi l l send a message to the mechani cal i nstu-
ment cl uster (MI C) i nstructi ng i t to turn on the
amber ABS warni ng l amp and di sabl e the anti l ock
braki ng system. The normal base braki ng system wi l l
remai n operati onal .
The CAB conti nuousl y moni tors the speed of each
wheel through the si gnal s generated by the wheel
speed sensors to determi ne i f any wheel i s begi nni ng
to l ock. When a wheel l ocki ng tendency i s detected,
the CAB commands the CAB command coi l s to actu-
ate. The CAB command coi l s then open and cl ose the
val ves i n the HCU that modul ate brake fl ui d pres-
sure i n some or al l of the hydraul i c ci rcui ts. The CAB
conti nues to control pressure i n i ndi vi dual hydraul i c
ci rcui ts unti l a l ocki ng tendency i s no l onger present.
The CAB contai ns a sel f-di agnosti c program that
moni tors the anti l ock brake system for system faul ts.
When a faul t i s detected, the amber ABS warni ng
l amp i s turned on and the faul t di agnosti c troubl e
code (DTC) i s then stored i n a di agnosti c program
memory. These DTCs wi l l remai n i n the CAB mem-
ory even after the i gni ti on has been turned off. The
DTCs can be read and cl eared from the CAB mem-
ory by a techni ci an usi ng the DRB scan tool . I f not
cl eared wi th a DRB scan tool , the faul t occurrence
and DTC wi l l be automati cal l y cl eared from the CAB
memory after the i denti cal faul t has not been seen
duri ng the next 3,500 mi l es of vehi cl e operati on.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU)
The hydraul i c control uni t (HCU) i s mounted to
the CAB as part of the I CU (Fi g. 2). The HCU con-
trol s the fl ow of brake fl ui d to the brakes usi ng a
seri es of val ves and accumul ators. A pump/motor i s
mounted on the HCU to suppl y bui l d pressure to the
brakes duri ng an ABS stop.
VALVES AND SOLENOIDS
The val ve bl ock contai ns four i nl et val ves and four
outl et sol enoi d val ves. The i nl et val ves are spri ng-
l oaded i n the open posi ti on and the outl et val ves are
spri ng-l oaded i n the cl osed posi ti on duri ng normal
braki ng. The fl ui d i s al l owed to fl ow from the master
cyl i nder to the wheel brakes.
Duri ng an ABS stop, these val ves cycl e to mai ntai n
the proper sl i p rati o for each wheel . The i nl et val ve
cl oses preventi ng further pressure i ncrease and the
outl et val ve opens to provi de a path from the wheel
brake to the HCU accumul ators and pump/motor.
Thi s rel eases (decays) pressure from the wheel brake,
thus rel easi ng the wheel from excessi ve sl i ppage.
Once the wheel i s no l onger sl i ppi ng, the outl et val ve
i s cl osed and the i nl et val ve i s opened to reappl y
(bui l d) pressure.
There are four other val ves i n the HCU. These four
remai ni ng val ves are used for tracti on control . Two
tracti on control (TC) val ves, mounted i n the HCU
val ve bl ock, are normal l y i n the open posi ti on and
cl ose onl y when the tracti on control i s appl i ed. There
are al so two shuttl e val ves whi ch control pressure
return to the master cyl i nder under ABS and tracti on
control condi ti ons.
These TC val ves are used to i sol ate the rear (non-
dri vi ng) wheel s of the vehi cl e from the hydraul i c
pressure that the HCU pump/motor i s sendi ng to the
front (dri vi ng) wheel s when tracti on control i s bei ng
appl i ed. The rear brakes need to be i sol ated from the
master cyl i nder when tracti on control i s bei ng
appl i ed so the rear wheel s do not drag. For more
i nformati on on the TC and shuttl e val ves, see TRAC-
TI ON CONTROL SYSTEM i n thi s secti on.
BRAKE FLUID ACCUMULATORS
There are two fl ui d accumul ators i n the HCU: one
for the pri mary hydraul i c ci rcui t, and one for the sec-
ondary hydraul i c ci rcui t. Each hydraul i c ci rcui t uses
a 3 cc accumul ator.
The fl ui d accumul ators temporari l y store brake
fl ui d that i s removed from the wheel brakes duri ng
an ABS cycl e. Thi s stored fl ui d i s used by the pump/
motor to provi de bui l d pressure for the brake hydrau-
l i c system. When the anti l ock stop i s compl ete, the
accumul ators are drai ned by the pump/motor.
There are two noi se dampeni ng chambers i n the
HCU on thi s vehi cl e equi pped wi th tracti on control .
PUMP/MOTOR
There are two pump assembl i es i n the HCU: one
for the pri mary hydraul i c ci rcui t, and one for the sec-
ondary hydraul i c ci rcui t. Both pumps are dri ven by a
common el ectri c motor (Fi g. 2). Thi s DC-type motor
i s i ntegral to the HCU and i s control l ed by the CAB.
The pump/motor provi des the extra amount of
brake fl ui d needed duri ng anti l ock braki ng. Brake
fl ui d i s rel eased to the accumul ators when the outl et
val ve i s opened duri ng an anti l ock stop. The pump
mechani sm consi sts of two opposi ng pi stons operated
by an eccentri c camshaft. I n operati on, these pi stons
are used to purge fl ui d from the accumul ators back
i nto the master cyl i nder ci rcui ts. When the anti l ock
stop i s compl ete, the pump/motor drai ns the accumu-
l ators.
The pump motor i s al so used to bui l d pressure
when the system goes i nto tracti on control mode. For
more i nformati on, refer to TRACTI ON CONTROL
SYSTEM i n thi s secti on.
The CAB may turn on the pump/motor when an
anti l ock stop i s detected. The pump/motor conti nues
to run duri ng the anti l ock stop and i s turned off after
the stop i s compl ete. Under some condi ti ons, the
pump/motor runs to drai n the accumul ators duri ng
the next dri ve-off.
The pump/motor i s not a servi ceabl e i tem; i f i t
requi res repl acement, the HCU must be repl aced.
ABS FUSES
The ABS fuse and the ABS pump/motor fuse are
l ocated i n the power di stri buti on center (PDC). Refer
to the sti cker on the i nsi de of the PDC cover for the
l ocati on of these fuses. The PDC i s l ocated on the
dri vers si de of the engi ne compartment between the
back of the battery and the brake master cyl i nder.

AMBER ABS WARNING LAMP
The amber ABS warni ng l amp i s l ocated i n the
i nstrument cl uster. The purpose of the warni ng l amp

When the i gni ti on key i s turned to the ON posi -

CAB compl etes i ts sel f-tests and turns off the l amp
(approxi matel y 4 seconds). The amber ABS warni ng
l amp wi l l i l l umi nate when the CAB detects a condi -
ti on that resul ts i n the shutdown of ABS functi on.
The CAB sends a message to the mechani cal i nstu-
ment cl uster (MI C) i nstructi ng i t to turn on the
amber ABS warni ng l amp.
Under most condi ti ons, when the amber ABS warn-
i ng l amp i s on, onl y the ABS functi on of the brake
system i s affected; The el ectroni c brake di stri buti on
(EBD), the base brake system and the abi l i ty to stop
the vehi cl e are not affected.
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR (WSS)
At each wheel of the vehi cl e there i s one wheel
speed sensor (WSS) and one tone wheel (Fi g. 3) (Fi g.
4) (Fi g. 5) (Fi g. 6). Each front wheel speed sensor i s
attached to a boss i n the steeri ng knuckl e. The front
tone wheel i s part of the dri veshaft outboard con-
stant vel oci ty joi nt. The rear wheel speed sensor i s
mounted to the rear di sc brake adapter. The rear
tone wheel i s an i ntegral part of the rear wheel hub
and beari ng.
The wheel speed sensor operates on el ectroni c
energy suppl i ed by the CAB and outputs a square
wave si gnal whose current al ternates between two
constant l evel s. I ts frequency i s proporti onal to the
speed of the tone wheel . The output i s avai l abl e as
l ong as the sensor i s powered and i ts state (hi gh or
l ow) corresponds to the presence or absence of tone
wheel teeth. The output si gnal i s sent to the CAB. I f
a wheel l ocki ng tendency i s detected by the CAB, i t
wi l l then modul ate hydraul i c pressure vi a the HCU
to prevent the wheel (s) from l ocki ng.
Correct ABS operati on i s dependent on accurate
wheel speed si gnal s. The vehi cl es ti res and wheel s
al l must be the same si ze and type to generate accu-
rate si gnal s. Vari ati ons i n ti re and wheel si ze can
produce i naccurate wheel speed si gnal s.
I mproper speed sensor-to-tone wheel cl earance can
cause errati c speed sensor si gnal s. The speed sensor
ai r gap i s not adjustabl e, but shoul d be checked when

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
Tracti on control reduces wheel sl i p and mai ntai ns
tracti on at the dri vi ng wheel s at speeds bel ow 56 kph
(35 mph) when road surfaces are sl i ppery. The trac-
ti on control system reduces wheel sl i p by braki ng the
wheel that i s l osi ng tracti on.
The CAB moni tors wheel speed. Duri ng accel era-
ti on, i f the CAB detects front (dri ve) wheel sl i p and
the brakes are not appl i ed, the CAB enters tracti on
control mode. Tracti on control operati on proceeds i n
the fol l owi ng order:
(1) Cl ose the normal l y open tracti on control (TC)
