normal. This may indicate:(1)Abnormal loss of
brake fluid in the master cylinder fluid reservoir
resulting from a leak in the hydraulic system.(2)
Brake shoe linings which have worn to a point
requiring replacement.
As the brake fluid drops below the minimum level,
the brake fluid level sensor closes to ground the
brake warning light circuit. This will turn on the red
brake warning light. At this time, master cylinder
fluid reservoir should be checked and filled to the full
mark with DOT 3 brake fluid.If brake fluid level
has dropped below the add line in the master
cylinder fluid reservoir, the entire brake
hydraulic system should be checked for evi-
dence of a leak.
STOP LAMP SWITCH
The stop lamp switch controls operation of the
vehicles stop lamps. Also, if the vehicle is equippedwith speed control, the stop lamp switch will deacti-
vate speed control when the brake pedal is
depressed.
The stop lamp switch controls operation of the
right and left tail, stop and turn signal lamp and
CHMSL lamp, by supplying battery current to these
lamps.
The stop lamp switch controls the lamp operation
by opening and closing the electrical circuit to the
stop lamps.
HUB/BEARING REAR WHEEL

of the vehicles brake system.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE TUBES AND HOSES
CAUTION: When installing brake chassis lines or
flex hoses on the vehicle, the correct fasteners
must be used to attach the routing clips or hoses to
the front suspension cradle. The fasteners used toattach components to the front suspension cradle
have an antiÐcorrosion coating due to the suspen-
sion cradle being made of aluminum. Only Mopar
replacement fasteners with the required anti-corro-
sion coating are to be used if a replacement fas-
tener is required when installing a brake chassis
line or flex hose.
Only double wall 4.75mm (3/16 in.) steel tubing
with Al-rich/ZW-AC alloy coating and the correct tube
nuts are to be used for replacement of a hydraulic
brake tube.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with traction control,
the primary and secondary hydraulic tubes between
the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit
are 6 mm (15/64 in.). These tubes are also coated
with the Al-rich/ZW-AC alloy and must be replaced
with tubes having the same anti-corrosion coating.
Be sure that the correct tube nuts are used for the
replacement of these hydraulic brake tubes.
Care should be taken when replacing brake tubing,
to be sure the proper bending and flaring tools and
procedures are used, to avoid kinking. Do not route
the tubes against sharp edges, moving components or
into hot areas. All tubes should be properly attached
with recommended retaining clips.
If the primary or secondary brake tube from the
master cylinder to the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit
(HCU) or the brake tubes from the HCU to the pro-
portioing valve require replacement,onlythe origi-
nal factory brake line containing the flexible section
can be used as the replacement part. This is required
due to cradle movement while the vehicle is in
motion.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
ABS GENERAL SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Review this entire section prior to per-
forming any mechanical work on a vehicle equipped
with the ITT Tevis Mark 20 ABS brake system. This
section contains information on precautions per-
taining to potential component damage, vehicle
damage and personal injury which could result
when servicing an ABS equipped vehicle.
CAUTION: Only the recommended jacking or hoist-
ing positions for this vehicle are to be used when-ever it is necessary to lift a vehicle. Failure to raise
a vehicle from the recommended locations could
result in lifting a vehicle by the hydraulic control
unit mounting bracket. Lifting a vehicle by the
hydraulic control unit mounting bracket will result
in damage to the mounting bracket and the hydrau-
lic control unit.
CAUTION: Certain components of the ABS System
are not intended to be serviced individually.
Attempting to remove or disconnect certain system
components may result in improper system opera-
tion. Only those components with approved
removal and installation procedures in this manual
should be serviced.
CAUTION: Brake fluid will damage painted sur-
faces. If brake fluid is spilled on any painted sur-
faces, wash off with water immediately.
CAUTION: When performing any service procedure
on a vehicle equipped with ABS do not apply a 12
volt power source to the ground circuit of the pump
motor in the CAB. Doing this will damage the pump
motor and will require replacement of the HCU.
The following are general cautions which should be
observed when servicing the ABS system and/or
other vehicle systems. Failure to observe these pre-
cautions may result in ABS System component dam-
age.
If welding work is to be performed on the vehicle,
using an electric arc welder, the CAB connector
should be disconnected during the welding operation.
The CAB 25 way connector connector should never
be connected or disconnected with the ignition switch
in the ON position.
Many components of the ABS System are not ser-
viceable and must be replaced as an assembly. Do not
disassemble any component which is not designed to
be serviced.
HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT
REMOVE
(1) Disconnect the negative (ground) cable from
the battery and isolate cable.
(2) Using a brake pedal depressor, move and lock
the brake pedal to a position past the first inch of

SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)

INSTALL
(1) Install the CAB (Fig. 19) on the bottom of the
HCU. Refer to Controller Antilock Brakes (CAB) in
the Removal And Installation Section in this group of
the service manual for the required procedure.
(2) Install the HCU on the mounting bracket (Fig.
23). Install the 3 bolts (Fig. 23) attaching the HCU to
the mounting bracket. Tighten the 3 mounting bolts
to a torque of 11 N´m (97 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: The HCU 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 HCU bracket to the front suspen-
sion crossmember.
(3) Install the HCU and its mounting bracket as
an assembly on the front suspension crossmember.
Install the 3 bolts attaching the HCU bracket to the
crossmember (Fig. 22). Tighten the 3 mounting bolts
to a torque of 28 N´m (250 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Because of the flexible section in the
primary 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. 21) for the correct chassis
brake tube locations.NOTE: The chassis brake tube attachment loca-
tions to the HCU, are marked on the bottom of the
HCU mounting bracket.
(4) Install the 6 chassis brake tubes into their cor-
rect port locations on the HCU valve block as shown
in (Fig. 21). Tighten the tube nuts to a torque of 17
N´m (145 in. lbs.).
NOTE: Before installing the 25 way connector in
the CAB be sure the seal is properly installed in the
connector.
(5) Install the 25 way connector (Fig. 19) on the
CAB using the following procedure. Position the 25
way connector in the socket of the CAB and carefully
push it down as far as possible. When connector is
fully seated by hand into the CAB socket, push in the
connector lock (Fig. 20). This will pull the connector
into the socket of the CAB and lock it in the installed
position.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

GENERATOR
The generator is belt-driven by the engine. It is
serviced only as a complete assembly. If the genera-
tor fails for any reason, the entire assembly must be
replaced.
As the energized rotor begins to rotate within the
generator, the spinning magnetic field induces a cur-
rent into the windings of the stator coil. Once the
generator begins producing sufficient current, it also
provides the current needed to energize the rotor.
The Y type stator winding connections deliver the
induced AC current to 3 positive and 3 negative
diodes for rectification. From the diodes, rectified DC
current is delivered to the vehicle electrical system
through the generator, battery, and ground terminals.
Noise emitting from the generator may be caused
by:
²Worn, loose or defective bearings
²Loose or defective drive pulley
²Incorrect, worn, damaged or misadjusted drive
belt
²Loose mounting bolts
²Misaligned drive pulley
²Defective stator or diode
BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature sensor, in the PCM, is used to
determine the battery temperature. This temperature
data, along with data from monitored line voltage, is
used by the PCM to vary the battery charging rate.
System voltage will be higher at colder temperatures
and is gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
ELECTRONIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) is not a
separate component. It is actually a voltage regulat-
ing circuit located within the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). The EVR is not serviced separately. If
replacement is necessary, the PCM must be replaced.
Operation:The amount of DC current produced
by the generator is controlled by EVR circuitry con-
tained within the PCM. This circuitry is connected in
series with the generators second rotor field terminal
and its ground.
Voltage is regulated by cycling the ground path to
control the strength of the rotor magnetic field. The
EVR circuitry monitors system line voltage and bat-
tery temperature (refer to Battery Temperature Sen-
sor for more information). It then compensates and
regulates generator current output accordingly. Also
refer to Charging System Operation for additional
information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
CHARGING SYSTEM
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, battery potential will register on the voltmeter.
During engine cranking a lower voltage will appear
on the meter. With the engine running, a voltage
reading higher than the first reading (ignition in ON)
should register.
The following are possible symptoms of a charging
system fault:
²The voltmeter does not operate properly
²An undercharged or overcharged battery condi-
tion occurs.
Remember that an undercharged battery is often
caused by:
²Accessories being left on with the engine not
running
²A faulty or improperly adjusted switch that
allows a lamp to stay on. See Ignition-Off Draw Test
in Group 8A, Battery for more information.
The following procedures may be used to correct a
problem diagnosed as a charging system fault.
INSPECTION
(1) Inspect condition of battery cable terminals,
battery posts, connections at engine block, starter
solenoid and relay. They should be clean and tight.
Repair as required.
(2) Inspect all fuses in the fuseblock module and
Power Distribution Center (PDC) for tightness in
receptacles. They should be properly installed and
tight. Repair or replace as required.
(3) Inspect the electrolyte level in the battery.
Replace battery if electrolyte level is low.
(4) Inspect generator mounting bolts for tightness.
Replace or tighten bolts if required. Refer to the Gen-
erator Removal/Installation section of this group for
torque specifications.
(5) Inspect generator drive belt condition and ten-
sion. Tighten or replace belt as required. Refer to
Belt Tension Specifications in Group 7, Cooling Sys-
tem.
(6) Inspect automatic belt tensioner (if equipped).
Refer to Group 7, Cooling System for information.
(7) Inspect connections at generator field, battery
output, and ground terminals. Also check ground con-
nection at engine. They should all be clean and tight.
Repair as required.
