ABS CHRYSLER CARAVAN 2003 Repair Manual

(22) Road test vehicle to ensure proper operation
of the base and antilock brake systems.
INSTALLATION - RHD
(1) Install the ICU on the mounting bracket (Fig.
21). Install the 3 bolts (Fig. 21) attaching the ICU to
the mounting bracket. Tighten the 3 mounting bolts
to a torque of 11 N´m (97 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: The ICU mounting bracket to front sus-
pension cradle mounting bolts have a unique corro-
sion protection coating and a special aluminum
washer. For this reason, only the original, or origi-
nal equipment Mopar replacement bolts can be
used to mount the ICU bracket to the front suspen-
sion crossmember.
(2) Install the ICU and its mounting bracket as an
assembly on the front suspension crossmember.
Install the 3 bolts attaching the ICU bracket to the
crossmember (Fig. 20). Tighten the 3 mounting bolts
to a torque of 28 N´m (250 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Because of the flexible section in the pri-
mary and secondary brake tubes, and the brake
tubes between the HCU and the proportioning
valve, the brake tubes must be held in proper ori-
entation when tightened and torqued. These tubes
must not contact each other or other vehicle com-
ponents when installed. Also, after the brake tubes
are installed on the HCU, ensure all spacer clips are
reinstalled on the brake tubes.
CAUTION: When installing the chassis brake tubes
on the HCU valve block, they must be located cor-
rectly in the valve block to ensure proper ABS oper-
ation. Refer to (Fig. 19) for the correct chassis
brake tube locations.
NOTE: The chassis brake tube attachment locations
to the HCU, are marked on the bottom of the ICU
mounting bracket.
(3) Install the 6 chassis brake tubes into their cor-
rect port locations on the HCU valve block as shown
in (Fig. 19). Tighten the tube nuts to a torque of 17
N´m (145 in. lbs.).
NOTE: Before installing the 24-way connector in the
CAB be sure the seal is properly installed in the
connector.(4) Install the 24-way connector (Fig. 17) on the
CAB using the following procedure. Position the
24-way connector in the socket of the CAB and care-
fully push it down as far as possible. When connector
is fully seated by hand into the CAB socket, push in
the connector lock (Fig. 18). This will pull the connec-
tor into the socket of the CAB and lock it in the
installed position.
NOTE: The CAB wiring harness must be clipped to
the ICU mounting bracket. This will ensure the wir-
ing harness is properly routed and does not contact
the brake tubes or the body of the vehicle.
(5) Clip the cab wiring harness (Fig. 17) to the
ICU mounting bracket.
(6) Install the routing clips (Fig. 25) on the brake
tubes.
(7) Lower the vehicle.
(8) Connect negative cable back on negative post of
the battery.
(9) Bleed the base and ABS hydraulic systems.
(Refer to 5 - BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

the Vehicle Theft Security System, the Midline con-
troller becomes a Premium when the theft feature is
enabled.
CAUTION: Do not swap Body Control Modules
between vehicles or body controller's off the shelf.
The BCM has internal diagnostic capability that
assists in diagnosing the system error. When an
OPEN or a SHORT circuit exists, the diagnostic tool
can be used to read the BCM faults. The faults are
very descriptive in identifying the appropriate fea-
ture that has faulted.The only two faults that the BCM logs that con-
clude the replacement of a BCM are faults;
²# 01 - Internal BCM failure (replace BCM)
²# 1F - J1850 Internal Hardware Failure (replace
BCM)
Otherwise the appropriate diagnostic procedures
for each of the features should be taken when the
BCM logs a fault.

CONTROLLER ANTILOCK
BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
The controller antilock brake (CAB) is a micropro-
cessor-based device which monitors the antilock
brake system (ABS) during normal braking and con-
trols it when the vehicle is in an ABS stop. The CAB
is mounted to the HCU as part of the integrated con-
trol unit (ICU) (Fig. 1). The CAB uses a 24-way elec-
trical connector on the vehicle wiring harness. The
power source for the CAB is through the ignition
switch in the RUN or ON position. The CAB is on
the PCI bus.
OPERATION
The primary functions of the controller antilock
brake (CAB) are to:
²Monitor the antilock brake system for proper
operation.
²Detect wheel locking or wheel slipping tenden-
cies by monitoring the speed of all four wheels of the
vehicle.
²Control fluid modulation to the wheel brakes
while the system is in an ABS mode.
²Store diagnostic information.
²Provide communication to the DRBIIItscan tool
while in diagnostic mode.
²Illuminate the amber ABS warning indicator
lamp.
²(With traction control only) Illuminate the TRAC
ON lamp in the message center on the instrument
panel when a traction control event occurs.
²(with traction control only) Illuminate the TRAC
OFF lamp when the amber ABS warning indicator
lamp illuminates.
The CAB constantly monitors the antilock brake
system for proper operation. If the CAB detects a
fault, it will turn on the amber ABS warning indica-
tor lamp and disable the antilock braking system.
The normal base braking system will remain opera-
tional.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with traction con-
trol, the TRAC OFF lamp will illuminate anytime the
amber ABS warning indicator lamp illuminates.
The CAB continuously monitors the speed of each
wheel through the signals generated by the wheel
speed sensors to determine if any wheel is beginning
to lock. When a wheel locking tendency is detected,
the CAB commands the CAB command coils to actu-
ate. The coils then open and close the valves in the
HCU that modulate brake fluid pressure in some or
all of the hydraulic circuits. The CAB continues to
control pressure in individual hydraulic circuits until
a locking tendency is no longer present.
The CAB contains a self-diagnostic program that
monitors the antilock brake system for system faults.
When a fault is detected, the amber ABS warning
indicator lamp is turned on and the fault diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) is then stored in a diagnostic pro-
gram memory. A latched fault will disable certain
system functionality for the current ignition cycle. An
unlatched fault will disable certain system function-
ality until the fault condition disappears. These
DTC's will remain in the CAB memory even after the
ignition has been turned off. The DTC's can be read
and cleared from the CAB memory by a technician
using the DRBIIItscan tool. If not cleared with a
DRBIIItscan tool, the fault occurrence and DTC will

be automatically cleared from the CAB memory after
the identical fault has not been seen during the next
3,500 miles. Drive-off may be required for the amber
ABS warning indicator lamp to go out on the next
ignition cycle.

Based on inputs it receives, the powertrain control
module (PCM) adjusts fuel injector pulse width, idle
speed, ignition timing, and canister purge operation.
The PCM regulates the cooling fans, air conditioning
and speed control systems. The PCM changes gener-
ator charge rate by adjusting the generator field.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel
ratio) based on the following inputs.

The automatic shut down (ASD) and fuel pump
relays are mounted externally, but turned on and off
by the powertrain control module through the same
circuit.
The camshaft and crankshaft signals are sent to
the powertrain control module. If the PCM does not
receive both signals within approximately one second
of engine cranking, it deactivates the ASD and fuel
pump relays. When these relays are deactivated,
power is shut off to the fuel injectors, ignition coils,
