Component Tests
Brake Booster
1. Check the hydraulic brake system for leaks or insufficient fluid.
2. With the transmission (7003) in NEUTRAL, stop the engine (6007) and apply the parking brake control (2780). Apply the brake pedal several times to exhaust all vacuum in the system.
3. Apply the brake pedal and hold it in the applied position. Start the engine. If the vacuum system is operating, the brake pedal will tend to move downward under constant foot pressure. If no
motion is felt, the power brake booster system is not functioning. Continue with the following
steps.
4. Remove the vacuum booster hose from the check valve connection. Manifold vacuum must be available at the check valve end of the vacuum booster hose with the engine at idle speed and
the transmission in NEUTRAL. If the manifold vacuum is available to the power brake booster,
connect the vacuum booster hose to the power brake booster check valve and repeat Steps 2
and 3.
5. If no downward movement of the brake pedal is felt, install a new power brake booster.
6. Operate the engine a minimum of 10 seconds at fast idle. Stop the engine, and let the vehicle stand for 10 minutes. Then apply the brake pedal with approximately 89 N (20 lb) of force. The
brake pedal feel should be the same as that noted with the engine operating. If the brake pedal
feels hard (no power assist), install a new power brake booster check valve and retest. If the
brake pedal feels spongy, bleed the hydraulic system to remove air. For additional information,
refer to Bleeding — System in this section. Check Valve z
Engine running at idle speed.
z CAUTION: Do not hold the brake pedal at 444 Nm
(100 lb) force for more than 5 seconds at a time.
z Apply brake pedal with approximately 444 Nm (100 lb)

The function of the power brake booster check valve is to allow manifold vacuum to enter the power
brake booster and prevent the escape of vacuum in case manifold vacuum is lost during sustained full
throttle operation.
To test the function of the power brake booster check valve :
zStart and run the engine for at least 10 seconds.
z Operate the brake pedal to check for power assist.
z Disconnect the vacuum booster hose from the power brake booster check valve. Do not remove
the power brake booster check valve from the power brake booster.
z There should be enough vacuum retained in the brake booster for at least one more power-
assisted brake operation.
Brake Master Cylinder — Normal Conditions
The following conditions are considered normal and are not indications that the brake master cylinder
is in need of service.
Condition 1: During normal operation of the brake master cylinder, the fluid level in the brake master
cylinder reservoir will rise during brake application and fall during release. The net fluid level (i.e., after
brake application and release) will remain unchanged.
Condition 2: A trace of brake fluid will exist on the booster shell below the master cylinder mounting
flange. This results from the normal lubricating action of the master cylinder bore and seal.
Condition 3: Fluid level will decrease with pad wear.
Brake Master Cylinder — Abnormal Conditions
Changes in brake pedal feel or travel are indicators that something could be wrong in the brake
system. GO to Symptom Chart for abnormal condition diagnosis.
Bypass Condition Test 1. Disconnect the brake lines at the brake master cylinder.
2. Plug the outlet ports of the brake master cylinder.
3. Apply the brakes. If brake pedal height cannot be maintained, the brake master cylinder has an internal leak and must be rebuilt or replaced.
Compensator Port Check
The purpose of the compensator ports in the brake master cylinder is to supply any additional brake
fluid required by the system due to brake pad wear and to allow brake fluid returning from the brake
lines to the brake master cylinder to enter the brake master cylinder reservoir.
The returning brake fluid will cause a slight turbulence in the brake master cylinder reservoir. Klj . 14 ba

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Hydro-
Boost Bleeding
1. NOTE: The Hydro- Boost power brake booster (2B560) is generally self- bleeding, and the
following procedure will normally bleed the air from the power brake booster. Normal operation
of the vehicle will further remove any additional trapped air.
Fill the power steering oil reservoir (3A697) with MERCON® Multi- Purpose ATF XT-2-QDX or
MERCON® equivalent.
2. Remove the powertrain control module (PCM) fuse to prevent the engine from starting.
3. Crank the engine for several seconds.
4. Check the fluid level in the power steering oil reservoir and add if necessary. Install the powertrain control module (PCM) fuse.
5. Start the engine.
6. With the engine running, turn the steering wheel (3600) from stop- to-stop twice. Turn the engine
off.
7. Depress the brake pedal (2455) several times to discharge the accumulator.
8. Repeat Steps 5 and 6.
9. If foaming occurs, stop the engine and allow the foam to dissipate.
10. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 as required, until all the air is removed from the system (when the foaming stops).

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Brake Booster —
Hydro-Boost
Removal WARNING: The power brake booster should not be carried by the accumulator, nor
should it ever be dropped on the accumulator. Check the snap ring on the accumulator for
correct seating before the power brake booster is used. The accumulator contains high-
pressure nitrogen gas and can be dangerous if mishandled.
WARNING: If the accumulator is to be disposed of, it must not be exposed to excessive
heat. Before discarding the accumulator, drill a 1.6- mm (1/16-inch) diameter hole in the end of
the accumulator can to relieve the gas pressure. Always wear safety glasses when performing
this operation.
1. With the engine off, depress the brake pedal (2455) several times to discharge the accumulator.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301). For additional information, refer to Section 414 -

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Anti-
Lock Control — Traction Control
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 42 , Anti-
Lock Brake System for schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
The anti- lock-brake control module receives wheel speed readings from each anti- lock brake sensor
and processes this information to determine if an ABS event is necessary. The anti- lock brake sensor
electrically senses each tooth of the anti- lock brake sensor indicators as it passes through the anti- lock
brake sensor's magnetic field.
The anti- lock brake control module continuously monitors and compares the rotational speed of each
wheel and, when it detects an impending wheel lock, modulates brake pressure to the appropriate
brake caliper. This is accomplished by triggering the hydraulic control unit (HCU) to open and close the
appropriate solenoid valves. Once the affected wheel returns to normal speed, the anti- lock brake
control module returns the solenoid valves to their normal position, and normal (base) braking
resumes.
The anti- lock brake control module is self- monitoring. When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN
position, the anti- lock brake control module will do a preliminary electrical check, and at approximately
12 km/h (8 mph) the pump motor is turned on for approximately one half- second. Also during all
phases of operation the anti- lock brake control module (after the vehicle is in motion) checks for
correct operation of the anti- lock brake sensors. Any malfunction of the ABS will cause the ABS to shut
off and ABS warning indicator to illuminate; normal power assisted braking, however, remains.
The ABS control module has the ability to store multiple DTCs in memory.
The traction control system controls wheelspin by modulating the engine torque by communicating to
the powertrain control module (PCM) and by applying, then releasing, the appropriate brake to restore
traction when one or both drive wheels lose traction and begin to spin during acceleration.
The traction control system can be disabled by depressing the traction control switch. The traction
control system will reset and return to normal traction assist when the ignition switch is cycled or when
the traction control switch is depressed again. SECTION 206-
