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
The rear hub and bearing assembly used on this
vehicle is serviceable only as a complete assembly. No
attempt should be made to disassemble a rear hub
and bearing assembly in an effort to repair it.
The rear hub and bearing assembly is attached to
the rear axle using 4 mounting bolts that are remov-
able from the back of the rear hub/bearing.

valve actuator. See Height Sensing Proportioning
Valve in the Adjustment Section in this group of the
service manual for the adjustment procedure.
(12) Bleed both rear hydraulic circuits at the rear
brakes.
(13) Road test vehicle.
BRAKE FLUID CONTAMINATION
Indications of fluid contamination are swollen or deteri-
orated rubber parts.
Swollen rubber parts indicate the presence of
petroleum in the brake fluid.To test for contamination, put a small amount of
drained brake fluid in clear glass jar. If fluid sepa-
rates into layers, there is mineral oil or other fluid
contamination of the brake fluid.
If brake fluid is contaminated, drain and thor-
oughly flush system. Replace master cylinder, propor-
tioning valve, caliper seals, wheel cylinder seals,
Antilock Brakes hydraulic unit and all hydraulic
fluid hoses.
RED BRAKE WARNING LAMP TEST
For diagnosis of specific problems with the red
brake warning lamp system, refer to Brake System
Diagnostics Chart 2, located in the Diagnosis And
Testing section in this group of the service manual.
TRACTION CONTROL LAMP TEST
The traction control light is tested by cycling the
traction control switch on and off. The traction con-
trol switch used on this vehicle is a momentary con-
tact type switch. The test procedure for the traction
control light is performed as follows: Press the trac-
tion control switch once and the ªTrac Offº lamp will
illuminate. With the ªTrac Offº lamp illuminated,
press the traction control switch again and the ªTrac
Offº lamp will turn off.
If the traction control lamp does not function as
described in the test above, diagnosis of the traction
control switch, lamp, wiring and other related compo-
nents of the traction control system is required.

SERVICE PROCEDURES
MASTER CYLINDER FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Check master cylinder reservoir fluid level a mini-
mum of twice annually.
Master cylinder reservoirs are marked with the
words FULL and ADD to indicate proper brake fluid
fill level of the master cylinder (Fig. 26).
If necessary, add brake fluid to bring the level to
the bottom of the FULL mark on the side of the mas-
ter cylinder fluid reservoir.When filling master
cylinder fluid reservoir do not fill the filler
neck of the fluid reservoir (Fig. 26) with brake
fluid.
Use only Mopartbrake fluid or an equivalent from
a sealed container. Brake fluid must conform to DOT
3, specifications.
DO NOTuse brake fluid with a lower boiling
point, as brake failure could result during prolonged
hard braking.
Use only brake fluid that was stored in a tightly-
sealed container.
DO NOTuse petroleum-based fluid because seal
damage will result. Petroleum based fluids would be
items such as engine oil, transmission fluid, power
steering fluid ect.
BLEEDING BASE BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
NOTE: This bleeding procedure is only for the vehi-
cle's base brakes hydraulic system. For bleeding
the antilock brakes hydraulic system, refer to the
ITT Teves Mark 20 Antilock Brake System bleeding
procedure in the antilock brakes section of this ser-
vice manual.
PRESSURE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder
cover, throughly clean the cover and master cylin-
der fluid reservoir to prevent dirt and other foreign
matter from dropping into the master cylinder fluid
reservoir.
CAUTION: Use bleeder tank Special Tool C-3496-B
with adapter Special Tool 6921 to pressurize the
hydraulic system for bleeding.
CAUTION: When pressure bleeding the brakes
hydraulic system the fluid reservoir filler neck must
be removed from the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
Failure to remove the filler neck from the fluid res-
ervoir, may result in the filler neck separating from
the fluid reservoir when the hydraulic system is
pressurized.
Follow pressure bleeder manufacturer's instruc-
tions, for use of pressure bleeding equipment.
When bleeding the brake system, some air may be
trapped in the brake lines or valves far upstream, as
much as ten feet from the bleeder screw (Fig. 27).
Therefore, it is essential to have a fast flow of a large
volume of brake fluid when bleeding the brakes to
ensure all the air gets out.
(1) Remove the filler neck from the master cylin-
der fluid reservoir.
(2) Install the Adapter Master Cylinder Pressure
Bleed Cap, Special Tool 6921 on the fluid reservoir of
the master cylinder (Fig. 28). Attach the fluid hose
from the pressure bleeder to the fitting on Special
Tool 6921.
(3) Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleeder screw
at one wheel and feed the hose into a clear jar con-
taining fresh brake fluid.

flared end tubing.PLACE TUBE NUT ON TUB-
ING BEFORE FLARING THE TUBING.
DOUBLE INVERTED TUBING FLARES
To make a double inverted tubing flare (Fig. 39)
and (Fig. 40). Open handles of Flaring Tool, Special
Tool C-4047 or equivalent. Then rotate jaws of tool
until the mating jaws of tubing size are centered
between vertical posts on tool. Slowly close handles
with tubing inserted in jaws but do not apply heavy
pressure to handle as this will lock tubing in place.Place gauge (Form A) on edge over end of brake
tubing. Push tubing through jaws until end of tubing
contacts the recessed notch in gauge matching the
tubing size. Squeeze handles of flaring tool and lock
tubing in place. Place 3/16 inch plug of gauge (A)
down in end of tubing. Swing compression disc over
gauge and center tapered flaring screw in recess of
disc. Screw in until plug gauge has seated on jaws of
flaring tool. This action has started to invert the
extended end of the tubing. Remove gauge and con-
tinue to screw down until tool is firmly seated in tub-
ing. Remove tubing from flaring tool and inspect
seat. Refer to tube routing diagrams for proper brake
tube routing and clip locations. Replace any damaged
tube routing clips.
ISO TUBING FLARES
CAUTION: All ISO style tubing flares (Fig. 39) and
(Fig. 40) are of metric dimensions. When performing
any service procedures on vehicles using ISO style
tubing flares, metric size tubing of 4.75 mm MUST
be used with metric ISO tube flaring equipment.
To create a (metric) ISO style tubing flare, Use
Snap-On Flaring Tool TFM-428, or equivalent. See
(Fig. 41) and proceed with the steps listed below.Be
sure to place the tubing nut on the tube before
flaring the tubing.
(1) Carefully prepare the end of the tubing to be
flared. Be sure the end of the tubing to be flared is
square and all burrs on the inside of the tubing are
removed (Fig. 38).This preparation is essential to

obtain the correct form of a (metric) ISO tubing
flare.
(2) Open jaws of the Flaring Tool. Align the mating
size jaws of the flaring tool around the size of the
tubing to be flared. Close the jaws of the Flaring Tool
around the tubing to keep it from sliding out of the
flaring tool, but do not lock the tubing in place. See
(Fig. 41)
(3) Position the tubing in the jaws of the Flaring
Tool so that it is flush with the top surface of the
flaring tool bar assembly. (Fig. 41) )
(4) Install the correct size adaptor for the brake
tubing being flared, on the feed screw of the yoke
assembly. Center the yoke and adapter over the end
of the tubing. Apply lubricant to the adapter area
that contacts brake tubing. Making sure the adapter
pilot is fully inserted in the end of the brake tubing.
Screw in the feed screw of the yoke assembly until
the adaptor has seated squarely on the surface of the
bar assembly (Fig. 41). This process has created the
(metric) ISO tubing flare.
PARK BRAKE AUTO ADJUSTER MECHANISM
RELEASE
The park brake pedal mechanism used in this vehi-
cle is designed so that the auto adjuster is not
required to be locked out when servicing the park
brake pedal and or the park brake cables.
This park brake pedal mechanism is designed so
that the adjuster mechanism will rotate only half a
turn when the tension is released from the park
brake cable. This eliminates the requirement to lockout the automatic adjuster when servicing the park
brake pedal mechanism and cables.
Use the following procedure to release the tension
from the park brake cables and the auto adjuster in
the park brake pedal mechanism.
(1) Grasp the exposed section of the front park
brake cable and pull rearward on it. While holding
the park brake in this position, install a pair of lock-
ing pliers on the front park brake cable just rearward
of the second body outrigger bracket (Fig. 42).
(2) Remove the left rear and intermediate park
brake cable from the park brake cable equalizer (Fig.
43).
(3) Remove the equalizer from the front park
brake cable.
