(11) Remove all special tools previously installed,
from the ABS hydraulic assembly. (12) Install accumulator port plug into hydraulic
assembly. Torque accumulator port plug to 12 N Im(9
ft. lbs.). (13) Install high pressure brake hose from the
pump motor assembly into hydraulic fitting on ABS
hydraulic assembly. Torque high pressure brake hose
tube nut to 16 N Im (145 in. lbs.).
(14) Turn ignition switch to the run position to en-
ergize the pump/motor assembly and pressurize hy-
draulic system. Check for leakage at the hydraulic
assembly to hydraulic bladder accumulator fitting. (15) Again de-pressurize accumulator by pumping
brake pedal a minimum of 40 times. Use procedure
described in De-Pressurizing Hydraulic Accumulator
in this section of the service manual. (16) Then check the brake fluid level in the hy-
draulic assembly reservoir. If brake fluid level is low,
fill reservoir to proper level with Mopar tbrake fluid
or equivalent conforming to DOT 3 requirements.
INTERMITTENT FAULTS
As with almost any electronic system, intermittent
faults in the ABS system may be difficult to accu-
rately diagnose. Most intermittent faults are caused by faulty elec-
trical connections or wiring. When an intermittent
fault is encountered, check suspect circuits for: (1) Poor mating of electrical connector halves, or
electrical terminals not fully seated in the connector
body. (2) Improperly formed or damaged electrical termi-
nals. All connector terminals in a suspect circuit
should be carefully reformed to increase contact ten-
sion. (3) Poor terminal to wire connection. This requires
removing the terminal from the connector body and
inspecting for proper terminal to wire connection. If a visual check does not find the cause of the
problem, operate the vehicle in an attempt to dupli-
cate the condition and record the Fault Code. Most failures of the ABS system will disable the
Anti-Lock function for the entire ignition cycle even
if the fault clears before ignition key-off. There are
some failure conditions however, which will allow
ABS operation to resume during the ignition cycle in
which a failure occurred. If the failure conditions are
no longer present. The following conditions may result in intermittent
illumination of the Red Brake Warning Lamp and/or
Amber Anti-Lock Warning Lamp. All other failures
will cause the lamp(s) to remain on until the ignition
switch is turned off. Circuits and or components in-
volving these inputs to the (CAB) should be investi-
gated if a complaint of intermittent warning system
operation is encountered. ²
Low system voltage. If low system voltage is de-
tected by the (CAB), the (CAB) will turn on the Am-
ber Anti-Lock Warning Lamp until normal system
voltage is achieved. Once normal voltage is seen at
the (CAB), normal operation resumes.
² Low Brake Fluid. A low brake fluid condition will
cause the Red Brake Warning Lamp to illuminate.
When the fluid sensor again indicates an acceptable
fluid level, the Red Brake Warning Lamp will go out.
This condition may exist during hard cornering or
while the vehicle is on a grade. If the vehicle is in
motion above 3 M.P.H. the Amber Anti-Lock Warn-
ing Lamp will also be turned on.
² Low Accumulator Pressure. Low Accumulator
Pressure will cause both the Red Brake Warning and
Amber Anti-Lock Warning Lamps to illuminate.
Once normal operating pressure is achieved, the
lamps will extinguish and the system will return to
normal operation. Additionally, any condition that results in an inter-
ruption of power to the (CAB) or hydraulic assembly.
May cause the Red Brake Warning and Amber Anti-
Lock Warning Lamps to illuminate intermittently. All the conditions (or faults) mentioned above, can
store a fault code in the (CAB) module.
ABS BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
SYSTEM SELF DIAGNOSIS
The ABS system is equipped with a diagnostic ca-
pability that may be used to assist in isolation of
ABS faults. The features of the diagnostics system
are described below.
CONTROLLER ANTI-LOCK BRAKE (CAB)
Fault codes are kept in a Non-Volatile memory un-
til either erased by the technician using the DRB II
or erased automatically after 50 ignition cycles (key
ON-OFF cycles). The only fault that will not be
erased after 50 (KEY CYCLES) is the (CAB) fault.
The (CAB) fault can only be erased by using the
DRB II diagnostic tester. More than one fault can be
stored at a time. The number of key cycles since the
most recent fault was stored is also displayed. Most
functions of the (CAB) and (ABS) system can be ac-
cessed by the technician for testing and diagnostic
purposes by using the DRB II Diagnostic Tester.
START-UP CYCLE
The START-UP CYCLE takes place immediately
after the ignition switch is turned on. It is an elec-
trical check of basic electrical functions such as the
System Relay and Anti-Lock Warning Lamp Relay.
During this check, the Amber Anti-Lock Warning
Lamp is turned on, then turned off at the end of the
test. The test takes approximatel y1-2seconds to
complete.

NORMAL BRAKING SYSTEM FUNCTION
Under normal braking conditions, the ABS System
functions the same as a standard brake system with
a diagonally split master cylinder and conventional
vacuum assist. If a wheel locking tendency is detected during a
brake application, the system will enter Anti-Lock
mode. During Anti-Lock Braking, hydraulic pressure
in the four wheel circuits is modulated to prevent
any wheel from locking. Each wheel circuit is de-
signed with a set of electrical valves and hydraulic
line to provide modulation, although for vehicle sta-
bility, both rear wheel valves receive the same elec-
trical signal. The system can build or reduce
pressure at each wheel, depending on signals gener-
ated by the wheel speed sensors (WSS) at each wheel
and received at the Controller Anti-Lock Brake
(CAB).
MAJOR COMPONENTS
The following is a list of major system components.
Details of all components can be found later in this
section. See (Fig. 1) for the general location of the
components in the vehicle.
MASTER CYLINDER AND VACUUM BOOSTER
The Bendix Anti-Lock 6 Brake System uses the ve-
hicles standard Master Cylinder/Reservoir and Vac-
uum Booster (Fig. 2). The master cylinder primary
and secondary outputs go directly to the Modulator
Assembly.
MODULATOR AND PUMP MOTOR/ASSEMBLY
The Modulator Assembly (Fig. 3) contains the
wheel circuit valves used for brake pressure modula-
tion and the Pump/Motor. The Pump/Motor function, as part of the Modulator
Assembly. Is to pump low pressure brake fluid from
the brake fluid sump into the ABS Accumulator.
During a stop which requires the ABS system to be-
come operational.
WHEEL SPEED SENSORS
A Wheel Speed Sensor (Fig. 4) is located at each
wheel to transmit wheel speed information to the
Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB).

CONTROLLER ANTI-LOCK BRAKE (CAB)
The (CAB) (Fig. 5) is a small control computer
which receives wheel speed information, controls An-
ti-Lock operation and monitors system operation.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES OPERATION AND
PERFORMANCE
This Anti-Lock Braking System represents the cur-
rent state-of-the-art in vehicle braking systems and
offers the driver increased safety and control during
braking. This is accomplished by a sophisticated sys-
tem of electrical and hydraulic components. As a re-
sult, there are a few performance characteristics that
may at first seem different but should be considered
normal. These characteristics are discussed below.
More technical details are discussed further in this
section.
PEDAL FEEL
Since the Bendix Anti-Lock 6 Braking System uses
the conventional Booster/Master Cylinder. The brake
pedal feel during normal braking is the same as con-
ventional Non ABS equipped cars. When Anti-Lock is activated during hard braking
due to a wheel lockup tendency. Brake pedal effort
will increase do to the master cylinder pressure be-
ing isolated from the brake system. Some brake
pedal movement and associated noises may be felt
and herd by the driver. This is normal of a Anti-Lock
Braking System due to pressurized fluid being trans-
ferred to and from the wheel brakes.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM OPERATION
During Anti-Lock Braking, brake pressures are
modulated by cycling electric solenoid valves. The cy-
cling of these valves can be faintly heard as a series
of popping or ticking noises. In addition, the cycling
may be felt as a pulsation in the brake pedal, al-
though no pedal movement will be noticed. If Anti-
Lock Operation occurs during hard braking, some pulsation may be felt in the vehicle body due to fore
and aft movement of the suspension as brake pres-
sures are modulated.
Although ABS operation is available at virtually
all vehicle speeds. It will automatically turn off at
speeds below 3 to 5 mph. Wheel lockup may be per-
ceived at the very end of an anti lock stop and is con-
sidered normal.
TIRE NOISE & MARKS
Although the ABS system prevents complete wheel
lock-up, some wheel slip is desired in order to
achieve optimum braking performance. During brake
pressure modulation, as brake pressure is increased,
wheel slip is allowed to reach up to 30%. This means
that the wheel rolling velocity is 30% less than that
of a free rolling wheel at a given vehicle speed. This
slip may result in some tire chirping, depending on
the road surface. This sound should not be inter-
preted as total wheel lock-up. Complete wheel lock up normally leaves black tire
marks on dry pavement. The Anti-Lock Braking Sys-
tem will not leave dark black tire marks since the
wheel never reaches a locked condition. Tire marks
may however be noticeable as light patched marks.
VEHICLE PERFORMANCE
Anti-Lock Brakes provide the driver with some
steering control during hard braking, however there
are conditions where the system does not provide any
benefit. In particular, hydroplaning is still possible
when the tires ride on a film of water. This results in
the vehicles tires leaving the road surface rendering
the vehicle virtually uncontrollable. In addition, ex-
treme steering maneuvers at high speed or high
speed cornering beyond the limits of tire adhesion to
the road surface may cause vehicle skidding, inde-
pendent of vehicle braking. For this reason, the ABS
system is termed Anti-Lock instead of Anti-Skid.
SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
The Bendix Anti-Lock 6 Brake System has been
designed with the following self diagnostics capabil-
ity. The self diagnostic ABS startup cycle begins when
the ignition switch is in the on position. An electrical
check is completed on the ABS components such as
Wheel Speed Sensor Continuity and System and
other Relay continuity. During this check the Amber
Anti-Lock Light is on for approximately 1-2 seconds. Further Functional testing is accomplished once
the vehicle is set in motion. (1) The solenoid valves and the pump/motor are ac-
tivated briefly to verify function. (2) The voltage output from the wheel speed sen-
sors is verified to be within the correct operating
range.

PROPORTIONING VALVES
Two Proportioning Valves (Fig. 3) are used in the
system, one for each rear brake hydraulic circuit.
The Proportioning Valves function the same as in a
standard brake system. The Proportioning Valves are
located on the bottom of the hydraulic assembly (Fig.
1). They are the same screw in type as the ones used
on the Bendix Anti-Lock 10 and Bosh Anti-Lock
Brake systems.
WHEEL SPEED SENSORS
One Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS), is located at each
wheel (Fig. 4 and 5), and sends a small (AC) signal
to the control module (CAB). This signal is generated
by magnetic induction. The magnetic induction is
created, when a toothed sensor ring Tone Wheel (Fig.
6) passes a stationary magnetic Wheel Speed Sensor.
The (CAB) converts the (AC) 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 lock-
ing. The front Wheel Speed Sensor is attached to a boss
in the steering knuckle (Fig. 4). The tone wheel is
part of the outboard constant velocity joint. The rear
Wheel Speed Sensor is mounted to the caliper adap-
tor (Fig. 5) and the rear tone wheel is an integral
part of the rear wheel hub (Fig. 6). The speed sensor
air gap is NOT adjustable. The four Wheel Speed Sensors are serviced individ-
ually. The front Tone Wheels are serviced as an as-
sembly with the outboard constant velocity joint. The
rear Tone Wheels are serviced as an assembly with
the rear brake hub. Correct Anti-Lock system operation is dependent
on the vehicle's wheel speed signals, that are gener-
ated by the Wheel Speed Sensors. The vehicle's
wheels and tires must all be the same size and type
to generate accurate signals. In addition, the tires
must be inflated to the recommended pressures for
optimum system operation. Variations in wheel and
tire size or significant variations in inflation pres-
sure can produce inaccurate wheel speed signals.
