BENDIX ANTILOCK 4 MODULATOR ASSEMBLY BLEEDING PROCEDURE
(1) Assemble and install all brake system compo-
nents on the vehicle, making sure all hydraulic fluid
lines are installed and properly torqued. (2) Bleed the base brake system, using ONLYthe
bleeding procedure outlined in the Service Adjust-
ments section of this service manual supplement. To perform the bleeding procedure on the ABS modu-
lator assembly, the battery, battery tray and acid shield
must be removed from vehicle. Then reconnect the
vehicle's battery to vehicle's battery cables, using
ONLY approved battery jumper cables. (3) Connect the DRB Diagnostics Tester to the vehi-
cle's diagnostics connector. The vehicle diagnostic con-
nector is located behind the fuse panel access cover on
the lower section of the dash panel left of the steering
column. The diagnostic connector is a blue 6 way
connector. (4) Using the DRB check to make sure the CAB does
not have any stored fault codes. If it does, remove them
using the DRB.
WARNING: WHEN BLEEDING THE MODULATOR AS-
SEMBLY WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. A CLEAR BLEED
TUBE MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE MODULATOR
BLEED SCREWS AND SUBMERGED IN A CLEAR
CONTAINER FILLED PART WAY WITH FRESH CLEAN
BRAKE FLUID. DIRECT THE FLOW OF BRAKE FLUID
AWAY FROM THE PAINTED SURFACES OF THE VE-
HICLE. BRAKE FLUID AT HIGH PRESSURE MAY
COME OUT OF THE BLEEDER SCREWS, WHEN
OPENED.
When bleeding Antilock modulator assembly, the
following bleeding sequence MUSTbe followed to
insure a complete bleeding of all air from the Antilock
brake, and base brake hydraulic systems. The modu-
lator assembly can ONLY be bled using a manual
bleeding procedure to pressurize the hydraulic
system.
MODULATOR ASSEMBLY CIRCUIT BLEEDING PROCEDURE AND SEQUENCE
1 MODULATOR PRIMARY CHECK VALVE CIRCUIT
Note: To bleed hydraulic circuits of the Bendix
Antilock 4 Brake System modulator assembly,
the aid of a second mechanic or helper will be
required to pump the brake pedal. (1) Install a clear bleed tube (such as Tygon) on
primary check valve circuit bleed screw (Fig. 1). Then
install bleed tube into a clear container partially filled
with fresh clean brake fluid (Fig. 1). (2) Pump brake pedal several times, then apply and
hold a constant medium to heavy force on brake pedal. (3) Open primary check valve circuit bleed screw
(Fig. 1) at least 1 full turn to ensure an adequate flow
of brake fluid. Continue bleeding primary check valve
circuit until brake pedal bottoms. (4) After brake pedal bottoms, close and tighten
bleed screw. Then release brake pedal. Do not release
brake pedal prior to closing and tightening bleed
screw. (5) Continue bleeding modulator assembly, repeat-
ing steps 2 through 4 until a clear, bubble free flow of
brake fluid is evident. (6) When all air is bled from primary check valve
circuit, tighten bleed screw and remove bleed hose
from bleed screw. Do not remove bleed hose before
tightening bleed screw, air may re-enter modula-
tor. (7) Torque modulator assembly primary bleed screw
to9N Im (80 in. lbs.).
2 MODULATOR SECONDARY CHECK VALVE CIRCUIT (1) Move clear bleed tube to secondary check valve
circuit bleed screw (Fig. 2). Then install bleed tube into
a container partially filled with fresh clean brake fluid
(Fig. 2). (2) Pump brake pedal several times, then apply and
hold a constant medium to heavy force on brake pedal. (3) Open secondary check valve circuit bleeder screw
(Fig. 2), at least 1 full turn to ensure an adequate flow
of brake fluid. Continue to bleed secondary check valve
circuit until the brake pedal bottoms.

IGNITION OFF DRAW (IOD)
GENERAL INFORMATION
A normal electrical system will draw from 5 to 30
milliamperes from the battery. This is with the ignition
in the OFF position, and all non-ignition controlled cir-
cuits in proper working order. The amount of IOD will
depend on body model and electrical components. A ve-
hicle that has not been operated for an extended period
of approximately 20 days may discharge the battery to
an inadequate level. In this case, the Main Fusible Link
Connector should be disconnected. The Main Fusible
Link connector is located rearward of the battery on the
engine wiring harness (Fig. 19).
If the IOD is over 30 milliamperes, the defect must
be found and corrected before condemning the bat-
tery. Usually, the battery can be charged and re-
turned to service (Fig. 16).
IGNITION OFF DRAW (IOD) TESTS
VEHICLES WITHOUT ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION/LOAD LEVELINGSUSPENSION OR ALARM SYSTEMS
Testing for HIGHER AMPERAGE IOD must be
performed first to prevent damage to most milliamp
meters. A standard 12 volt test light and a milliamp meter
that is equipped with two leads will be used for the
following tests. The milliamp meter should be able to
handle up to two amps.
(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are OFF.
Turn off all lights, close trunk lid, close glove box door,
turn off sun visor vanity lights, close all doors and re- move ignition key. Allow the Illuminated Entry System
if equipped to time out in approximately 30 seconds.
(2) Verify the engine compartment lamp bulb is
working by opening/closing hood. Remove the lamp. (3) Disconnect negative battery cable (Fig. 15).
(4) Connect a typical 12 volt test light between the
negative cable clamp and the negative battery post (Fig.
19). The test light may be brightly lit for up to three
minutes or may not be lit at all. This depending on the
body model or electronic components on the vehicle. (a) The term brightly used throughout the follow-
ing tests. This implies the brightness of the test light
will be the same as if it were connected across the
battery posts. This would be with a fully charged bat-
tery.
(b) The test light or the milliamp meter MUST
be positively connected to the battery post and the
battery cable during all IOD testing. (c) Do not allow the test light or the milliamp
meter to become disconnected during any of the
IOD tests. If this happens, the electronic timer
functions will be started and all IOD tests must be
repeated from the beginning. Clamp the test light
at both ends to prevent accidental disconnection.
(d) After three minutes time has elapsed, the test
light should turn OFF or be dimly lit depending on
the electronic components on the vehicle. If the test
light remains BRIGHTLY lit, do not disconnect test
light. Disconnect each fuse or circuit breaker until
test light is either OFF or DIMLY lit. Refer to the
Front Wheel Drive Car Wiring Diagrams Service
Manual. This will eliminate higher amperage IOD. It
is now safe to install the milliamp meter without
damage to the meter to check for low amperage IOD.
(e) Possible sources of high IOD are usually ve-
hicle lamps trunk lamp, glove compartment, lug-
gage compartment, etc.. (f) If test light is still brightly lit after discon-
necting each fuse and circuit breaker, disconnect
the wiring harness from the generator. Refer to
Generator Testing. Do not disconnect test light.
CAUTION: This last test has higher amperage IOD and
must be performed before going on with low amper-
age IOD tests. The higher amperage IOD must be elim-
inated before hooking up milliamp meter to check for
low amperage IOD. If higher amperage IOD has not
been eliminated, milliamp meter may be damaged.
Most milliamp meters will not handle over one or two
amps. Do not hook up meter if test light is glowing
brightly. Refer to maximum amperage specifications
and instructions supplied with milliamp meter.
After higher amperage IOD has been corrected, low
amperage IOD may be checked. The MAXIMUM IOD=
30 MILLIAMPERES.

(5) With test light still connected, connect milli-
amp meter between battery negative post and nega-
tive battery cable (Fig. 20). Do not open any doors or
turn on any electrical accessories with the test light
disconnected and the milliamp meter connected.
Meter may be damaged.
(6) Disconnect test light. Milliamp meter reading
should be less than 30 milliamperes. If low amperage
IOD is not within specifications, disconnect: (a) The 60 way connector at the Powertrain Con-
trol Module located outboard of the battery. Refer
to Group 8D, Ignition for more information. (b) The 25 way connectors on the Body Control-
ler if equipped. (c) The circuits to the clock and radio.
(d) The wiring harness from the generator. Refer
to Generator Testing.
Check each component until excessive IOD is found.
Each time the test light or milliamp meter is dis-
connected and connected, all electronic timer func-
tions will be activated. Tests must be repeated from
the beginning. Test light or meter MUST remain connected for all
tests.
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, LOADLEVELING SUSPENSION, OR ALARM SYSTEM
This vehicles will have temporary high IOD of 15
amps or more for up to 65 minutes. This higher IOD can often mask another problem and should be con-
sidered when performing IOD testing. Testing for higher IOD will be the same as in the
previous IOD tests. However, certain additional pro-
cedures should be followed.
² WITH ALARM SYSTEM: After disconnecting bat-
tery and hooking up test light, cycle the key lock on
the driver's door to disarm the alarm. The parking
lamps should stop flashing. Also locate the Power Distribution Center. This
Center is located in front of the left front strut tower
(Fig. 21). Remove the cover from the Center and re-
move the 50 amp fuse.
² WITH ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMIS-
SION: If equipped with this option, and high or low
IOD is suspected, allow an additional 25 minutes
minimum of electronic shut off time. To defeat the timer, disconnect the 60-way connec-
tor on the Transmission Controller. This controller is
located on the right inner fender.
² WITH AUTOMATIC LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM:
If equipped with this option, and high or low IOD is
suspected, allow an additional 65 minutes minimum
of electronic shut off time. To defeat the timer, open the trunk lid, locate the
Automatic Load Leveling computer, located inside
right rear wheel house, and disconnect the 11-way
connector. Close the trunk lid. If equipped with an electrical trunk closing feature,
temporarily install a heavy gauge jumper wire be-
tween the disconnected negative cable and the nega-
tive battery post. When this jumper is installed the
trunk lid should automatically close. Do not discon-
nect the test light as all electronic timing features
will be activated and all IOD tests must be repeated
from the beginning. Remove the temporarily installed jumper wire.

burned out lamp. If lamp is OK, check fuse and
wire connectors. (b) If lamp illuminates when doors are open
check switch.
THERMOMETER AND COMPASS OPERATION
The ignition switch must be in the ON or ACCES-
SORY position before the temperature and compass
reading can be displayed. The Comp/Temp switch, lo-
cated left of the display module, turns the display on
and off. The US/Metric switch, located right of the dis-
play, changes the temperature reading from Fahrenheit
to Celsius. Should the compass blank out and the CAL
symbol only light, demagnetizing may be necessary.
The compass is a flux-gate system which, is inte-
gral to the console. The temperature readout is con-
nected to a thermistor sensor which, located on the
