NOTE: Make sure open ends of bleeder tubes stay
below surface of brake fluid once reservoir is filled
to proper level.
(3) Fill brake fluid reservoir with Mopartbrake
fluid or equivalent conforming to DOT 3 (DOT 4 and
DOT 4+ are acceptable) specifications. Make sure
fluid level is above tips of bleeder tubes in reservoir
to ensure no air is ingested during bleeding.
(4) Using a wooden dowel as a pushrod (Fig. 56),
slowly depress master cylinder pistons, then release
pressure, allowing pistons to return to released posi-
tion. Repeat several times until all air bubbles are
expelled. Make sure fluid level stays above tips of
bleeder tubes in reservoir while bleeding.
(5) Remove bleeder tubes from master cylinder
outlet ports, then plug outlet ports and install fill cap
on reservoir.
(6) Remove master cylinder from vise.
(7) Install master cylinder on vehicle. (Refer to 5 -

CAUTION: Vacuum in the power brake booster must
be pumped down (removed) before removing mas-
ter cylinder from power brake booster. This is nec-
essary to prevent the power brake booster from
sucking in any contamination as the master cylin-
der is removed. This can be done simply by pump-
ing the brake pedal, with the vehicle's engine not
running, until a firm feeling brake pedal is achieved.
(1) With engine not running, pump brake pedal
until a firm pedal is achieved (4-5 strokes).
(2) Disconnect negative battery terminal.
(3) Disconnect positive battery terminal.
(4) Remove battery shield.
(5) Remove nut and clamp securing battery to tray,
remove battery.
(6) Thoroughly clean all surfaces of the brake fluid
reservoir and master cylinder. Use only solvent such
as MopartBrake Parts Cleaner or equivalent.
(7) Remove wiring harness connector from brake
fluid level switch in master cylinder brake fluid res-
ervoir (Fig. 57).
(8) Disconnect primary and secondary brake tubes
from master cylinder housing (Fig. 57). Install seal-
ing plugs in the now open brake tube outlet ports.
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder
from the power brake vacuum booster, the master
cylinder and vacuum booster must be thoroughlycleaned. This must be done to prevent dirt particles
from falling into the power brake vacuum booster.
(9) Clean area where master cylinder assembly
attaches to power brake booster. Use only a solvent
such as MopartBrake Parts Cleaner or equivalent.
(10) Remove two nuts attaching master cylinder to
power brake booster (Fig. 58).

CAUTION: Different types of master cylinders are
used on this vehicle depending on brake options. If
a new master cylinder is being installed, be sure it
is the correct master cylinder for the type of brake
system the vehicle is equipped with.
CAUTION: When replacing the master cylinder on a
vehicle, a NEW vacuum seal MUST be installed on
the master cylinder.
(1) Install a NEW vacuum seal on master cylinder
making sure seal fits squarely in groove of master
cylinder casting.

(Fig. 58). Tighten both mounting nuts to a torque of
25 N´m (225 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: When tightening the primary and sec-
ondary brake tube nuts at master cylinder, be sure
brake tubes do not contact any other components
within the vehicle and that there is slack in the flex-
ible sections of the tubes. This is required due to
the movement between the ABS ICU and the master
cylinder while the vehicle is in motion.
(4) Connect primary and secondary brake tubes to
master cylinder primary and secondary ports (Fig.
57). Brake tubes must be held securely when tight-
ened to control orientation of flex section. Tighten

PEDAL - ADJUSTABLE
DESCRIPTION
The Adjustable Pedals System (APS) is designed to
enable the fore and aft repositioning of the brake and
accelerator pedals. This results in improved ergonom-
ics in relation to the steering wheel for taller and
shorter drivers. Being able to adjust the pedal posi-
tions also allows the driver to set steering wheel tilt
and seat position to the most comfortable position.
The effort required for pedal application will not
change regardless of pedal position.
The adjustable pedal system allows the pedals to
adjust up to 3 inches (75 mm) at a rate of approxi-
mately 0.4 in./sec. (9 mm/sec.). An adjustment switch
is located on the left side of the steering column
lower shroud.
If the vehicle is equipped with Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE), an optional memory feature is avail-
able.
The serviceable components of the APS are:
²Adjustable pedal assembly (includes motor,
cables, pedals, gear box, sensor and module)
²Adjustable pedal module (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/
ADJUSTABLE PEDAL MODULE)
²Adjustable pedal switch
²Pedal position sensor
OPERATION
Change of pedal position is accomplished by means
of a motor driven screw. Operating the adjustable
pedal switch activates the pedal drive motor. The
pedal drive motor turns a screw that changes the
position of the accelerator pedal. The motor also
drives a cable connected to a gear box that changes
the brake pedal position the same distance as the
accelerator pedal. The pedals can be moved rearward
(closer to the driver) or forward (away from driver).
Each pedal is moved on its activating lever to a posi-
tion where the driver feels most comfortable. The
position and operation of the activating levers are not
changed.
Pedal adjustment is inhibited when the vehicle is
in reverse or when cruise control is engaged. The
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will
display a message when the Adjustable Pedal Module
(APM) is disabled. i.e.:9Adjustable Pedal Disabled -
Cruise Control Engaged9or9Adjustable Pedal Dis-
abled - Vehicle in Reverse9.
Foot pressure or debris can stall pedal adjustment.
In order to avoid damage to system components dur-

ing pedal adjustment, the APM will monitor pedal
position sensor voltage. If the APM does not detect
expected voltage change within 3 seconds, it will cut
power to the adjustable pedal motor.
An optional memory feature is available. This
allows storing of one or two preferred pedal positions
in the APS. A preferred position can be stored and
recalled using the door-mounted switches. A stored
pedal position can be recalled (but not stored) using
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) if equipped with
the memory feature.

POWER BRAKE BOOSTER
DESCRIPTION
The power brake booster mounts on the engine
compartment side of the dash panel. It is connected
to the brake pedal by the input (push) rod (Fig. 75).
The master cylinder is bolted to the front of the
booster. A vacuum line connects the power brake
booster to the intake manifold.
