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

these inputs to the CAB should be investigated if a
complaint of intermittent warning system operation
is encountered.
(12) Low system voltage. If Low System Voltage is
detected by the CAB, the CAB will turn on the ABS
Warning Lamp until normal system voltage is
achieved. Once normal voltage is seen at the CAB,
normal operation resumes.
(13) High system voltage. If high system voltage is
detected by the CAB, the CAB will turn on the
Amber ABS Warning Lamp until normal system volt-
age is achieved. Once normal voltage is again
detected by the CAB, normal ABS operation will be
resumed at the next key on cycle.
(14) Additionally, any condition which results in
interruption of electrical current to the CAB or mod-
ulator assembly may cause the ABS Warning Lamp
to turn on intermittently.
(15) The body controller can turn on the (yellow)
ABS warning lamp if CCD communication between
the body controller and the CAB is interupted.
TONEWHEEL INSPECTION
CAUTION: The tone wheels used on this vehicle
equipped with the Teves Mark 20 Antilock Brake
System are different then those used on past mod-
els of this vehicle equipped with antilock brakes.
Reduced braking performance will result if this part
is used on earlier model vehicles and an accident
could result. Do not use on pre-1998 model year
vehicles.
Carefully inspect tonewheel at the suspected faulty
wheel speed sensor for missing, chipped or broken
teeth, this can cause erratic speed sensor signals.
Tonewheels should show no evidence of contact
with the wheel speed sensors. If contact was made,
determine cause and correct before replacing the
wheel speed sensor.
Excessive runout of the tonewheel can cause
erratic wheel speed sensor signals. Refer to Tone-
wheel Runout in the Specification Section in this sec-
tion of the service manual for the tonewheel runout
specification. Replace drive shaft assembly or rear
hub/bearing assembly if tonewheel runout exceeds
the specification.
Inspect tonewheels for looseness on their mounting
surfaces. Tonewheels are pressed onto their mounting
surfaces and should not rotate independently from
the mounting surface.
Check the wheel speed sensor head alignment to
the tone wheel. Also check the gap between the speed
sensor head and the tone wheel to ensure it is at
specification. Refer to Wheel Speed Sensor Clearance
in the Specification Section in this section of the ser-
vice manual.
PROPORTIONING VALVE
CAUTION: Proportioning valves (Fig. 18) should
never be disassembled.
If premature rear wheel skid occurs on hard brake
application, it could be an indication that a malfunc-
tion has occurred with one of the proportioning
valves.
If a malfunctioning proportioning valve is sus-
pected on a vehicle, refer to Proportioning Valve Test
in the Proportioning Valves Section in this group of
the service manual for the required test procedure.
BRAKE FLUID CONTAMINATION
Indications of fluid contamination are swollen or
deteriorated 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.
TEST DRIVING ABS COMPLAINT VEHICLE
Most ABS complaints will require a test drive as a
part of the diagnostic procedure. The purpose of the
test drive is to duplicate the condition.
NOTE: Remember conditions that result in the
turning on of the Red BRAKE Warning Lamp may
indicate reduced braking ability. The following pro-
cedure should be used to test drive an ABS com-
plaint vehicle.

pattern until the hub/bearing and brake support
plate is fully and squarely seated onto flange of rear
axle.
(6) Tighten the 4 hub/bearing mounting bolts (Fig.
48) to a torque of 129 N´m (95 ft. lbs.)
(7) Install the rear wheel speed sensor on the rear
hub/bearing flange (Fig. 47). Install the speed sensor
attaching bolt and tighten to a torque of 12 N´m (105
in. lbs.).
(8) Check the air gap between the face of the
wheel speed sensor and the top surface of the tone-
wheel. Air gap must be less then the maximum
allowable tolerance of 1.2 mm (.047 in.).
(9) Install the brake drum onto the rear hub/bear-
ing assembly.
(10) Install rear wheel and tire assembly, tighten
wheel stud nuts to 129 N´m (95 ft. lbs.).
(11) Adjust the rear brakes, (See Adjusting Service
Brakes) in Service Adjustments section in this group
of the service manual.
TONE WHEEL (REAR AWD)
The rear tone wheel on all wheel drive applications
is an integral part of each rear axle outer C/V joint.
If the rear tone wheel on an all wheel drive vehicle
requires replacement it can not be replace as a sep-
arate component of the rear axle. Tone wheel replace-
ment will require the replacement of the rear axle.
Refer to Differential And Driveline in this service
manual for the rear axle replacement procedure.

GENERAL INFORMATION
BASE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The standard brake system on this vehicle contains
the same components as brake systems described in
group 5 of the service manual, with the exception of
the brake pedal system and master cylinder. These
differences are mainly related to service procedures.
The major differences are as follows:
²Use of a torque shaft assembly to transfer brake
pedal travel to the power brake booster and master
cylinder on the left side of the vehicle
²A unique power brake booster and master cylin-
der.
Refer to the Base Brake System Component
Description in the General Information section of
group 5 for more information on components used in
the base brake system.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
MASTER CYLINDER
The master cylinder used on this vehicle functions
the same as master cylinders used in other brake
systems. Refer to the Master Cylinder in the Descrip-
tion and Operation section of group 5 for more infor-
mation.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
REAR DRUM BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
The rear drum brakes on front wheel drive vehicles
automatically adjust, when required, during the nor-
mal operation of the vehicle every time the brakes
are applied. Use the following procedure to test the
operation of the automatic adjuster.
Place the vehicle on a hoist with a helper in the
driver's seat to apply the brakes. Remove the access
plug from the adjustment slot in each brake support
plate to provide visual access of brake adjuster star
wheel. Disconnect parking brake cable from one side
of the vehicle at the equalizer under the vehicle at
the left frame rail. Working on the side of the vehicle
that parking brake cable is connected to, hold the
adjuster lever off the star wheel with a suitable tool,
and loosen the star wheel approximately 30 notches
in relation to the adjuster lever. This is to eliminate
the possibility that the brake is already properly
adjusted. Reconnect the parking brake cable and
repeat the procedure for the other side of the vehicle.

GENERAL INFORMATION
CLUTCH COMPONENTS
The clutch used in the 2.0 liter and 2.4 liter gaso-
line engine is a single, dry-disc modular clutch
assembly. The modular clutch assembly combines the
pressure plate cover, pressure plate, disc, and fly-
wheel into one unit. The unit rides on the input shaft
of the transmission and is bolted to the drive plate
mounted on the rear of the crankshaft. The clutch
used in the 2.5 liter diesel engine is a conventional
clutch and pressure plate arrangement.
CLUTCH CABLE AND PEDAL Ð LHD
The clutch cable has a unique self-adjuster mecha-
nism built into the cable which compensates for
clutch disc wear. The cable requires no maintenance
or lubrication. There are no serviceable components
on the cable assembly.The clutch pedal is connected to the cable through
a plastic spacer (Fig. 1). The upper end of the clutch
pedal pivots in the pedal bracket on two nylon bush-
ings and a shaft (Fig. 2). These bushings are greased
during assembly and do not require periodic lubrica-
tion.

CLUTCH DIAGNOSIS
Problem diagnosis will generally require a road
test to determine the type of fault. Component
inspection will then determine the problem after road
testing.
Drive the vehicle at normal speeds during road
test. Shift the transaxle through all gear ranges andobserve clutch action. If chatter, grab, slip, or
improper release is experienced, remove and inspect
the clutch components. If the problem is noise or
hard shifting, further diagnosis may be needed. The
transaxle or other driveline components may actually
be at fault.
