REAR DRUM BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Normally, self adjusting drum brakes will
not require manual brake shoe adjustment.
Although in the event of a brake reline it is advis-
able to make the initial adjustment manually to
speed up the adjusting time.
(1) Raise the vehicle so that the rear wheels are
free to turn. See Hoisting Recommendations in the
Lubrication And Maintenance Section, at the front of
this service manual.
Remove the park brake cable, for the wheel of the
vehicle that is being worked on, from the park brake
cable equalizer (Fig. 196). This is required to gain
access to the star wheel. If the cable is not removed
from the equalizer, the cable and spring inside of the
brake drum is in the way of the star wheel.
(2) Remove rubber plug, from rear brake adjusting
hole, in the rear brake support plate (Fig. 197).(3)Be sure parking brake lever is fully
released.
(4) Insert Brake Adjusting, Special Tool C-3784 or
equivalent through the adjusting hole in support
plate and against star wheel of adjusting screw. Move
handle of tool upward until a slight drag is felt when
road wheel is rotated.
(5) Insert a thin screwdriver or piece of welding
rod into brake adjusting hole. Push adjusting lever
out of engagement with star wheel.Care should be
taken so as not to bend adjusting lever or dis-
tort lever spring.While holding adjusting lever out
of engagement, back off star wheel to ensure a free
wheel with no brake shoe drag.
(6) Repeat above adjustment at the other rear
wheel.
(7) Install adjusting hole rubber plug (Fig. 197) in
rear brake support plates.
(8) Install park brake cables on park brake cable
equalizer (Fig. 196).
PARK BRAKE SHOES (WITH REAR DISC BRAKES)
CAUTION: Before adjusting the park brake shoes
be sure that the park brake pedal is in the fully
released position. If park brake pedal is not in the
fully released position, the park brake shoes can
not be accurately adjusted.
(1) Raise vehicle.
(2) Remove tire and wheel.
(3) Remove disc brake caliper from caliper adapter
(Fig. 198). If required, refer to Rear Disc Brake Cal-
iper in the Removal And Installation Section in this
group of the service manual for the removal proce-
dure.

group of the service manual for the installation pro-
cedure.
(13) Install wheel and tire.
(14) Tighten the wheel mounting nuts in the
proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half the
specified torque. Then repeat the tightening sequence
to the full specified torque of 129 N´m (95 ft. lbs.).
(15) Lower vehicle.
(16) Apply and release the park brake pedal one
time. This will seat and correctly adjust the park
brake cables.
CAUTION: Before moving vehicle, pump brake
pedal several times to ensure the vehicle has a firm
enough pedal to stop the vehicle.
(17) Road test the vehicle to ensure proper func-
tion of the vehicle's brake system.
PARK BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT
The park brake cables on this vehicle have an
automatic self adjuster built into the park brake
pedal mechanism. When the foot operated park brake
pedal is in its released (upward most) position, a
clock spring automatically adjusts the park brake
cables. The park brake cables are adjusted (ten-
sioned) just enough to remove all the slack from the
cables. The automatic adjuster system will not over
adjust the cables causing rear brake drag.
Due to the automatic adjust feature of the park
brake pedal, adjustment of the parking brake cables
on these vehicles relies on proper drum brake and
park brake shoe adjustment. See Rear Brake Adjust-
ment and Park Brake Shoe Adjustment in the Ser-
vice Adjustments Section in this group of the service
manual.
When the park brake pedal is applied the self
adjuster is by-passed and the pedal operates nor-
mally to engage the park brakes.
When a service procedure needs to be performed on
the park brake pedal or the park brake cables, the
automatic self adjuster can be manually locked out
by the service technician.
PROPORTIONING VALVE (HEIGHT SENSING)
Proportioning valve actuator adjustment will be
required if there is a complaint of premature rear
wheel lockup and the front and rear brake shoe lin-
ings checked OK during inspection, the height sens-
ing proportioning valve required replacement, or
there is a complaint of excessive pedal effort and the
vacuum booster and brake pedal checked OK. Make
sure the proportioning valve and the mounting
bracket are firmly attached to the vehicle. Then, pro-
ceed with the following procedure to perform the
adjustment of the actuator.(1) Raise vehicle. Vehicle is to be raised and sup-
ported on jackstands or with a frame contact type
hoist so the rear suspension of the vehicle is hanging
free. See hoisting in the Lubrication And Mainte-
nance section of this service manual.
(2) Remove rear wheels/tires.
(3) Using an appropriate jack, support the rear
axle prior to the removal of the track bar and shock
absorber bolts from the rear axle.
(4) Unbolt the track bar from the rear axle.
(5) Unbolt both shock absorbers from the rear
axle.
(6) Loosen (do not remove) both of the leaf spring
to front spring hanger pivot bolts.
NOTE: When lowering the rear axle be sure that the
leaf springs do not come in contact with the hoist
limiting the downward movement of the axle. If this
occurs an improper adjustment of the actuator may
result.
(7) Lower the rear axle so it is at its farthest point
of downward movement.
(8) Loosen the adjustment nut (Fig. 203) on the
actuator.
(9) Be sure the hooked end of the actuator is cor-
rectly (fully) seated in the clip on the proportioning
valve lever and that the clip is correctly positioned
on the lever of the proportioning valve.
(10) Pull the housing of the proportioning valve
actuator toward the spring hanger (Fig. 203) until
the lever on the proportioning valve bottoms on the
body of the proportioning valve.Hold the propor-
tioning valve actuator in this position while
tightening the adjustment nut (Fig. 203) to a
torque of 5 N´m (45 in. lbs.). Proportioning
valve adjustment is now complete.
(11) Install shock absorbers and track bar on rear
axle.Do not tighten the mounting bolts for any
of the loosened suspension components at this
time.
(12) Install the wheel/tires.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ANTILOCK BRAKES OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The purpose of an Antilock Brake System (ABS) is to
prevent wheel lock-up under braking conditions on virtu-
ally any type of road surface. Antilock Braking is desirable
because a vehicle which is stopped without locking the
wheels will retain directional stability and some steering
capability. This allows the driver to retain greater control
of the vehicle during braking.
This section of the service manual covers the description
and on car service for the ITT Teves Mark 20 ABS Brake
System and the ITT Teves Mark 20 ABS Brake System
with Traction Control. If other service is required on the
non ABS related components of the brake system, refer to
the appropriate section in this group of the service manual
for the specific service procedure required.

PREMATURE ABS CYCLING
NOTE: When working on a vehicle which has a
complaint of premature ABS cycling it may be nec-
essary to use a DRB Scan Tool to detect and verify
the condition.
There is one complaint called Premature ABS
Cycling in which neither the Red Brake Warning
Lamp nor the Amber Antilock Lamp were illumi-
nated and no fault codes were stored in the CAB.
Symptoms of Premature ABS Cycling, include click-
ing sounds from the solenoids valves, pump motor
running and pulsations in the brake pedal. This con-
dition can occur at any braking rate of the vehicle
and on any type of road surface. This creates an
additional condition which needs to be correctly
assessed when diagnosing problems with the antilock
brake system.
The following conditions are common causes that
need to be checked when diagnosing a condition of
Premature ABS Cycling. Damaged tone wheels,
incorrect tone wheels, damage to a wheel speed sen-
sor mounting boss on a steering knuckle, a loose
wheel speed sensor mounting bolt, and excessive tone
wheel runout. Also, an excessively large tone wheel
to wheel speed sensor air gap can lead to the condi-
tion of Premature ABS Cycling. Special attention is
to be given to these components when diagnosing a
vehicle exhibiting the condition of Premature ABS
Cycling. After diagnosing the defective component,
repair or replace as required.
When the component repair or replacement is com-
pleted, test drive the vehicle to verify the condition of
Premature ABS Cycling has been corrected.
ABS BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The following is a detailed description of the Teves
Mark 20 ABS brake system components. For infor-
mation on servicing the base brake system compo-
nents, see the base Brake System section of this
Service Manual.
ABS MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BRAKE
BOOSTER
A vehicle equipped with Teves Mark 20 ABS
without optional traction control uses the same
type of a master cylinder and power brake
booster (Fig. 1) as a vehicle not equipped with
antilock brakes.
A vehicle equipped with Teves Mark 20 ABS
with Traction control uses a unique center port
master cylinder. If the master cylinder is
replaced on a vehicle equipped with traction
control be sure the right type of master cylin-
der is installed.A vehicle equipped with four wheel disc
brakes (AWD applications) also have a unique
master cylinder. The master cylinder used on
these vehicles have a piston bore diameter
which is larger then the master cylinder used
on the other brake applications.
The primary and secondary outlet ports on the
master cylinder go directly to the hydraulic control
unit HCU.
Reference the appropriate section of this service
manual for further information on the individual
components.
INTEGRATED CONTROL UNIT (ICU)
The hydraulic control unit (HCU) (Fig. 2) used
with the Teves Mark 20 ABS is different from the
HCU used on previous Chrysler products with ABS.
The HCU used on this ABS system is part of the
integrated contol unit (ICU). The HCU is part of
what is referred to as the ICU because the HCU and
the controller antilock brakes (CAB) are combined
(integrated) into one unit. This differs from previous
Chrysler products with ABS, where the HCU and the
CAB were separate components located in different
areas of the vehicle.
Teves Mark 20 ABS uses two different HCU's and
CAB's depending on the type of ABS system the vehi-
cle is equipped with. There is a unique HCU and
CAB for a vehicle equipped with just ABS and a
unique HCU and CAB for a vehicle equipped with
ABS and traction control.
NOTE: The HCU and CAB used on a vehicle that is
equipped with only ABS and on a vehicle that is
equipped with ABS and traction control are differ-
ent. The HCU on a vehicle equipped with ABS and
traction control has a valve block housing (Fig. 2)
that is approximately 1 inch longer on the low pres-
sure fluid accumulators side than a HCU for a vehi-
cle that is equipped with only ABS.
Fig. 1 Master Cylinder And Vacuum Booster
NSBRAKES 5 - 87
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

The ICU is located on the driver's side of the vehi-
cle, and is mounted to the front suspension cradle
(Fig. 3). TheABS onlyICU contains the following
components for controlling the brake system hydrau-
lic pressure during ABS braking: The CAB, eight
valve solenoids, (four inlet valves and four outlet
valves) fluid accumulators a pump, and an electric
motor. TheABS with traction controlICU con-
tains the following components for controlling the
brake system hydraulic pressure during ABS braking
and traction control operation: The CAB, four sole-
noid controlled inlet valves, four solenoid controlled
outlet valves, two hydraulic shuttle valves, two ASR
valves, fluid accumulators a pump and an electric
motor. Also attached to the hydraulic control unit are
the master cylinder primary and secondary brake
tubes and the brake tubes going to each wheel of the
vehicle. (Fig. 3).
CAUTION: No components of the ICU are service-
able. If any component that makes up the ICU is
diagnosed as not functioning properly it MUST be
replaced. The replaceable components of the ICU,
are the HCU and the CAB (Fig. 2) and (Fig. 3). The
mounting bracket is also replaceable as a separate
component of the ICU. The remaining components
of the ICU are not serviceable items. No attempt
should ever be made to remove or service any indi-
vidual components of the HCU. This is due to the
concern of contamination entering the HCU while
performing a service procedure. Also no attempt
should ever be made to remove or service any indi-
vidual components of the CAB.
CAUTION: At no time when servicing the ICU
should a 12 volt power source be applied to any
electrical connector of the HCU or the CAB.INLET VALVES AND SOLENOIDS
There are four inlet solenoids, one for each wheel.
In the released position they provide a fluid path
from the master cylinder to the wheel brakes of the
vehicle. When the ABS cycle has been completed the
inlet solenoids will return to their released (open)
position.
OUTLET VALVES AND SOLENOIDS
There are four outlet solenoids, one for each wheel.
In the released position they are closed to allow for
normal braking. In the actuated (open) position, they
provide a fluid path from the wheel brakes of the
vehicle to the hydraulic control unit HCU accumula-
tors and pump motor. The outlet solenoids are spring
loaded in the released (closed) position during normal
braking.
ASR VALVE (ABS WITH TRACTION CONTROL
ONLY)
On vehicles equipped with ABS having traction
control, there are two special ASR valves located in
the HCU portion of the ICU. The ASR valves are a
normally open type valve and are solenoid actuated.
The special ASR valves are used to isolate the rear
(non-driven) wheels of the vehicle from the hydraulic
pressure that the HCU pump motor is sending to the
front (driven) wheels, when the traction control sys-
tem is in operation. The rear brakes need to be iso-
lated from the master cylinder when traction control
is in operation so that the HCU can build the
required hydraulic pressure to the front brakes.
HCU BRAKE FLUID ACCUMULATORS AND NOISE
DAMPING CHAMBER
There are two brake fluid accumulators in the
HCU. There is one brake fluid accumlator for the pri-
mary and secondary hydraulic circuits. The brake
Fig. 2 Teves Mark 20 ICUFig. 3 ICU Mounting Location
5 - 88 BRAKESNS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

fluid accumulators temporarily store brake fluid that
is decayed from the wheel brakes during an ABS
cycle. This stored brake fluid is then used by the
pump in the HCU to provide build pressure for the
brake hydraulic system.
Additionally on vehicles that are equipped with
only ABS (non-traction control vehicles) there is a
mini brake fluid accumulator on the secondary
hydraulic circuit which protects the master cylinder's
seals during an ABS stop. There is also a noise
damping chamber on the primary hydraulic circuit.
On ABS equipped vehicles with traction control, in
addition to the brake fluid accumulators there are
also two noise damping chambers in the HCU.
HCU PUMP/MOTOR
The HCU (Fig. 4) contains 2 pump assemblies, one
for the primary and one for the secondary hydraulic
circuit of the brake system. Both pumps are driven
by a common electric motor (Fig. 4) which is part of
the HCU. The pumps draw brake fluid from the fluid
accumulators to supply build pressure to the brakes
during an ABS stop. The pump motor runs during
the drive-off cycle as a check and during an ABS stop
and is controlled by the CAB. The Pump/Motor
Assembly is not a serviceable item. If the pump/mo-
tor requires replacement the complete HCU (Fig. 4)
(minus the CAB) must be replaced.
ABS FUSES
The fuse for the ABS pump motor and the ABS system
are located in the power distribution center (PDC) (Fig. 5).
The PDC is located on the drivers side of the engine com-
partment forward of the strut tower. The fuse for the ABS
warning lamp in the instrument panel message center is
located in the junction block.
On vehicles equipped with traction control, the
fuse for the traction control switch is also located in
the junction block.The junction block is located on the left hand front
cowl panel on the vehicle.
ABS RELAYS
On the Teves Mark 20 Antilock Brake System both
the pump motor relay and the system relay are
located in the CAB. If either of the relays is diag-
nosed as not functioning properly the CAB will need
to be replaced. Refer to Controller Antilock Brakes in
the Removal And Installation Section in this group of
the service manual for the procedure.
PROPORTIONING VALVES
One assembly containing two proportioning valves
are used in the system, one for each rear brake
hydraulic circuit. The proportioning valve is located
on the frame rail next to the fuel tank, forward of the
right rear shock absorber (Fig. 6). Be sure replace-
ment proportioning valve assemblies have the same
split point and slope as the proportioning valve being
replaced.
WHEEL SPEED SENSORS
One Wheel Speed Sensor WSS is located at each
front and rear wheel of the vehicle (Fig. 7), (Fig. 8)
and (Fig. 9). The wheel speed sensor sends a small
AC signal to the CAB. This signal is generated by
magnetic induction created when a toothed sensor
ring (tone wheel) (Fig. 7), (Fig. 8) and (Fig. 9) passes
the 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 by the CAB, it will then modulate hydraulic
pressure via the HCU to prevent the wheel(s) from
locking.
Fig. 4 Teves Mark 20 HCU Pump/Motor
Fig. 5 Fuse Locations In Power Distribution Center
NSBRAKES 5 - 89
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

The front wheel speed sensor is attached to a boss
in the steering knuckle (Fig. 7). The front tone wheel
(Fig. 7) is part of the driveshafts outboard constant
velocity joint. The rear wheel speed sensor ismounted through the rear axle, rear brake support
plate and directly to the rear bearing (Fig. 8) (Fig. 9).
The rear tone wheel on a front wheel drive vehicle is
an integral part of the rear wheel hub/bearing
assembly. If damaged though, the rear tone wheel on
a front wheel drive vehicle can be replaced as a indi-
vidual component of the rear hub/bearing assembly.
Refer to Rear Tone Wheel in the Remove And Install
Section in this group of the service manual for the
required procedure. The wheel speed sensor air gap
is NOT adjustable.
The rear tone wheel on a all wheel drive vehicle, is
part of the outboard constant velocity joint on the
rear driveshaft (Fig. 9).
The four wheel speed sensors are all serviced indi-
vidually, but the front tone wheel on all vehicles and
the rear tone wheel on all wheel drive vehicles are
serviced as part of the front or rear driveshaft out-
board constant velocity joint (Fig. 7) and (Fig. 9).
Correct ABS system operation is dependent on
accurate wheel speed signals. The vehicle's wheels
and tires must all be the same size and type to gen-
erate accurate signals. Variations in wheel and tire
size can produce inaccurate wheel speed signals,
which can cause false ABS cycles to occur.
CONTROLLER ANTILOCK BRAKES (CAB)
The Controller Antilock Brakes (CAB) is a micro-
processor based device which monitors the ABS sys-
tem during normal braking and controls it when the
vehicle is in an ABS stop. The CAB is mounted to the
bottom of the HCU (Fig. 10). The CAB uses a 25 way
electrical 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

CONTROL± TRACTION CONTROL HYDRAULIC
CIRCUIT ± SOLENOID AND SHUTTLE VALVE
FUNCTION
This hydraulic circuit diagram (Fig. 16) shows a
vehicle equipped with ABS and traction control in
the traction control mode. The hydraulic circuit (Fig.
16) shows a situation where a driven wheel is spin-
ning and brake pressure is required to reduce its
speed. The normally open ASR valve (Fig. 16) is ener-
gized to isolate the brake fluid being pumped from
the master cylinder and to isolate the driven wheel.
Also, the normally open ASR valve bypasses the
pump output back to the master cylinder at a fixed
pressure setting. The normally open and normally
closed valves (Fig. 16) modulate the brake pressure
as required to the spinning wheel.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ABS GENERAL DIAGNOSTICS INFORMATION
This section contains the information necessary to
diagnose the ITT Teves Mark 20 ABS Brake System.
Specifically, this section should be used to help diag-
nose conditions which result in any of the following:
(1) ABS Warning Lamp turned on.(2) Brakes Lock-up on hard application
Diagnosis of base brake conditions which are obvi-
ously mechanical in nature should be directed to
Group 5 Brakes in this service manual. This includes
brake noise, brake pulsation, lack of power assist,
parking brake, Red BRAKE Warning Lamp lighting,
or vehicle vibration during normal braking.
Many conditions that generate customer com-
plaints may be normal operating conditions, but are
judged to be a problem due to not being familiar with
the ABS system. These conditions can be recognized
without performing extensive diagnostic work, given
adequate understanding of the operating principles
and performance characteristics of the ABS. See the
ABS System Operation Section in this group of the
service manual to familiarize yourself with the oper-
ating principles of the ABS system.
ABS WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION
During the diagnosis of the antilock brake system
it may become necessary to reference the wiring dia-
grams covering the antilock brake system and its
components. For wiring diagrams refer to Antilock
Brakes in Group 8W of this service manual. This
group will provide you with the wiring diagrams and
the circuit description and operation information cov-
ering the antilock brake system.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

ABS DIAGNOSTICS MANUAL
Detailed procedures for diagnosing specific ABS
conditions are covered in the diagnostics manual cov-
ering the ITT Teves Mark 20 ABS system. The fol-
lowing information is presented to give the
technician a general background on the diagnostic
capabilities of the ITT Teves Mark 20 ABS system.
Please refer to the above mentioned manual for any
further electronic diagnostics and service procedures
that are required.
DRB DIAGNOSTIC SCAN TOOL USAGE
The diagnostics of the ITT Teves Mark 20 ABS sys-
tem is performed using the DRB scan tool. Refer to
the diagnostics manual covering the ITT Teves Mark
20 ABS system for the required diagnostics and test-
ing procedures and the DRB operators manual for its
proper operational information.
ABS BRAKE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL CONNECTOR
On this vehicle, the diagnostic connector used for
the diagnosis of the ITT Teves Mark 20 ABS system
is located under the lower steering column cover, to
the left side of the steering column, just below the
hood release lever (Fig. 17). The ITT Teves Mark 20
ABS system uses the ISO 9141-K connector which is
shared by other vehicle diagnostic systems such asthe powertrain control module and air bag electronic
control module.ABS SYSTEM SELF DIAGNOSTICS
The ITT Teves Mark 20 ABS system is equipped
with a self diagnostic capability which may be used
to assist in the isolation of ABS faults. The features
of the self diagnostics system are described below.
Fig. 16 Traction Control Hydraulic Circuit
Fig. 17 Diagnostic Scan Tool Data Link Connector
5 - 96 BRAKESNS
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

START-UP CYCLE
The self diagnostic ABS start up cycle begins when
the ignition switch is turned to the on position. Elec-
trical checks are completed on ABS components, such
as the Controller, solenoid continuity, and the system
relay operation. During this check the Amber ABS
Warning Light is turned on for approximately 4 sec-
onds and the brake pedal may emit a popping sound
and move slightly when the solenoid valves are
checked.
DRIVE-OFF CYCLE
Further Functional testing is accomplished once
the vehicle is set in motion and reaches a speed of
about 20 kph (12 mph.). This cycle is performed only
once after each ignition on/off cycle.
²The pump/motor is activated briefly to verify
function. When the pump/motor is activated a whirl-
ing or buzzing sound may be heard by the driver,
which is normal when the pump/motor is running.
²The wheel speed sensor output is verified to be
within the correct operating range.
ONGOING TESTS
Other tests are performed on a continuous basis.
These include checks for solenoid continuity, wheel
speed sensor continuity and wheel speed sensor out-
put.
ABS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) are kept in the con-
troller's memory until either erased by the technician
using the DRB or erased automatically after 3500
miles. DTC's are retained by the controller even if
the ignition is turned off or the battery is discon-
nected. More than one DTC can be stored at a time.
The mileage of the most recent occurrence, number of
occurrences and the DTC that was stored is also dis-
played. Most functions of the CAB and the ABS sys-
tem can be accessed by the technician for testing and
diagnostic purposes by using the DRB.
LATCHING VERSUS NON-LATCHING
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Some DTC's detected by the CAB are latching; the
DTC is latched and ABS braking is disabled until the
ignition switch is reset. Thus ABS braking is non
operational even if the original DTC has disappeared.
Other DTC's are non-latching; any warning lights
that are turned on, are only turned on as long as the
DTC condition exists. As soon as the condition goes
away, the ABS Warning Light is turned off, although
a DTC will be set in most cases.
INTERMITTENT DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
As with virtually any electronic system, intermit-
tent electrical problems in the ABS system may be
difficult to accurately diagnose.
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused
by faulty electrical connections or wiring. When an
intermittent fault is encountered, check suspect cir-
cuits for:
A visual inspection for loose, disconnected, or mis-
routed wires should be done before attempting to
diagnose or service the ITT Teves Mark 20 antilock
brake system. A visual inspection will eliminate
unnecessary testing and diagnostics time. A thorough
visual inspection will include the following compo-
nents and areas of the vehicle.
(1) Inspect fuses in the power distribution center
(PDC) and the wiring junction block. Verify that all
fuses are fully inserted into the PDC and wring junc-
tion block. A label on the underside of the PDC cover
identifies the locations of the ABS fuses in the PDC.
(2) Inspect the 25-way electrical connector at the
CAB for damage, spread or backed-out wiring termi-
nals. Verify that the 25-way connector is fully
inserted in the socket on the CAB. Be sure that wires
are not stretched tight or pulled out of the connector.
(3) Verify that all the wheel speed sensor connec-
tions are secure.
(4) Poor mating of connector halves or terminals
not fully seated in the connector body.
(5) Improperly formed or damaged terminals. All
connector terminals in a suspect circuit should be
carefully reformed to increase contact tension.
(6) Poor terminal to wire connection. This requires
removing the terminal from the connector body to
inspect.
(7) Pin presence in the connector assembly
(8) Proper ground connections. Check all ground
connections for signs of corrosion, tight fasteners, or
other potential defects. Refer to wiring diagram man-
ual for ground locations.
(9) Problems with main power sources of the vehi-
cle. Inspect battery, generator, ignition circuits and
other related relays and fuses.
(10) If a visual check does not find the cause of the
problem, operate the car in an attempt to duplicate

(11) Most failures of the ABS system will disable
ABS function for the entire ignition cycle even if the
