Brake Fluid Level Sensor .................. 66
General Information ....................... 66 Master Cylinder Service Procedures

Testing the Master Cylinder ................. 66
GENERAL INFORMATION
The tandem master cylinder (Fig. 1) has a glass re-
inforced nylon reservoir and an anodized aluminum
body. Do not hone the bore of the cylinder, as this will
remove the anodized surface. The reservoir is indexed to prevent installation in
the wrong direction (Fig. 2). The cap diaphragms are
slit to allow atmospheric pressure to equalize on both
sides of the diaphragm. The primary and secondary outlet tubes from the
master cylinder are connected to the valve mounted
under the master cylinder. The front part of this
block connects to the secondary outlet tube and sup-
plies the right rear and left front brakes. The rear
portion of the block connects to the primary outlet
tube and supplies the right front and left rear
brakes.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR
The Brake Fluid Level sensor is found only in the
AJ body vehicles with the visual electronic message
center. The purpose of the sensor is to provide the
driver with an early warning message that brake
fluid in master cylinder reservoir has dropped to a
below normal. As the fluid drops below the design level the sensor
closes the warning message circuit. Approximately
15 seconds later the message BRAKE FLUID LOW
appears on the instrument panel. At this time the master cylinder reservoir should be checked and filled
to the bottom of the rings with DOT 3 brake fluid. To check the operation of the Brake Fluid Level
sensor, with ignition on and wiring still attache-
d,remove sensor from master cylinder and hold in
upright position. Within 30 seconds the instrument
panel message BRAKE FLUID LOW should appear.
Next invert the sensor. The instrument panel message
should turn off immediately. If the above sequence
occurs the sensor is operating properly. If the message
does not appear remove the wiring from the sensor and
using a jumper wire connect both sides of the plug. The
instrumental panel message BRAKE FLUID LOW
should appear within 30 seconds. If the message does
not appear a problem exists in the wiring or instru-
mentation. If the message does appear the sensor is
faulty and must be replaced. The Brake Fluid Level
sensor is not a repairable item (Fig. 2).
TESTING THE MASTER CYLINDER
Be sure master cylinder vents at both ports.
Apply pedal lightly with engine running and look for
fluid squirting or swirling into reservoirs. In this master cylinder, a special baffle reduces the
amount of fluid entering the secondary reservoir only a
small disturbance may be seen.

pared by the (CAB) and used to detect brake system
faults that would require Anti -Lock Braking to be
disabled.The Boost Pressure Transducer is mounted on the
bottom of the hydraulic assembly, (Fig. 1) and moni-
tors booster servo pressure. The Primary Pressure
Transducer is mounted on the left side of the hydrau-
lic assembly and monitors primary master cylinder
pressure.
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SWITCH
A non-latching Differential Pressure Switch is used
to detect a pressure difference greater than 2,068
kPa (300 psi.) between the primary and secondary
master cylinder hydraulic circuits. If detected, the
Differential Pressure Switch grounds the output of
the primary pressure transducer (circuit B-218). This
results in a 0.0 volt signal from the Primary Pres-
sure Transducer that is sensed by the (CAB) as a dif-
ferential pressure fault. The (CAB) will then light
the Red Brake Warning Lamp and the Amber Anti-
Lock Warning Lamp and disable the Anti-Lock brak-
ing function. See Fig. 1 for location of the differential
pressure switch.
PROPORTIONING VALVES
The ABS system uses screw-in Proportioning
Valves in place of the conventional Height Sensing Proportioning Valve. Each rear brake circuit has its
own screw-in Proportioning Valve that is attached to
the rear brake outlet ports of the hydraulic assembly
(Fig. 1). These valves limit brake pressure to the
rear brakes after a certain brake pressure is reached.
This improves front to rear wheel brake balance dur-
ing normal braking.
FILTERS-SERVICEABILITY
There is a screen filter in each of the two master
cylinder fill ports. There is also a low pressure filter
for the pump/motor. The filter is integral to the
Pump/Motor low pressure hose.
FLUID LEVEL SWITCH
A Low Fluid Switch is located in the hydraulic as-
sembly fluid reservoir, (Fig. 1). The switch consists of
a float and magnetic reed switch that closes when
low fluid is detected. The Low Fluid Switch is used
as an input, to the Red Brake Warning Lamp, the
(CAB), and the EVIC (if so equipped). When a low
fluid condition exists the switch will close, grounding
the low fluid circuit and illuminating the Red Brake
Warning Lamp. The (CAB) will disable the Anti-
Lock Function and light the Amber Anti-Lock Warn-
ing Lamp if vehicle is in motion above 3 mph. If
vehicle is not in motion, the Amber Anti-Lock Warn-
ing Lamp will NOT be lit.

PUMP/MOTOR ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The (CAB) does not control the opera-
tion of the pump/motor assembly. The Pump/Motor Assembly is mounted to the tran-
saxle below the hydraulic assembly,(Fig. 3). Integral to
the Pump/Motor Assembly is an accumulator using a
sliding piston configuration with a nitrogen pre-charge
of 3,172 kPa (460 psi.) The Pump/Motor is an electri-
cally driven pump that takes low pressure brake fluid
from the hydraulic assembly fluid reservoir and pres-
surizes it. The pressurized fluid is then stored in the
piston accumulator and hydraulic bladder accumulator
for power assist and Anti-Lock Braking. Operation of
the Pump/Motor is controlled by the Dual Function
Pressure Switch through the Pump/Motor Relay. The
(CAB) does NOT control the Pump/Motor activa-
tion. Rubber isolators are used to mount the pump to
its bracket for noise isolation. The Pump/Motor Assem-
bly is connected to the Hydraulic Assembly with a low
pressure return hose and a high pressure hose. A filter
is located in the low pressure return line.
WHEEL SPEED SENSORS
One Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS), is located at each
wheel (Fig. 4, 5 and 6) and sends a small (AC) electrical
signal to the control module (CAB). This signal is
generated by magnetic induction. The magnetic induc-
tion is created when a toothed sensor ring (Tone Wheel)
passes by the stationary magnetic (Wheel Speed Sen-
sor). The (CAB) converts the (AC) electrical signal
generated at each wheel into a digital signal. If a wheel
locking tendency is detected, the (CAB) will then
modulate hydraulic pressure to prevent the wheel(s)
from locking. The front Wheel Speed Sensor (Fig. 4) is mounted to
a boss on the steering knuckle, for both the Front Wheel Drive and All Wheel Drive applications. The
Tone Wheel is part of the outboard constant velocity
joint housing. The Rear Wheel Speed Sensor, is mounted to the
caliper mounting adapter (Fig. 5). The rear Tone
Wheel is an integral part of the rear disc brake rotor
hub (Fig. 6). The speed sensor, to tone wheel air gap on all ap-
plications is NOT adjustable. All 4 of the vehicles, Wheel Speed Sensors are ser-
viced individually as replaceable components. The Front Wheel Drive front Tone Wheels are ser-
viced as an assembly with the front outboard con-
