DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM OPERATION
This section covers the physical and operational
descriptions, and the on-car service procedures for
the Mark 20e Antilock Brake System (ABS) with
traction control. It is the only antilock brake system
available on this vehicle.
The purpose of the antilock brake system is to pre-
vent wheel lockup under braking conditions on virtu-
ally any type of road surface. Antilock braking is
desirable because a vehicle that is stopped without
locking the wheels retains directional stability and
some steering capability. This allows the driver to
retain greater control of the vehicle during braking.
The traction control system reduces wheel slip and
maintains traction at the driving speeds below 56
kph (35 mph) when road conditions call for traction
assistance. Refer to TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
in this section for more information.
Vehicles equipped with ABS use electronic brake
distribution (EBD) to balance front-to-rear braking
when the brakes are applied in the partial braking
range. Refer to ELECTRONIC BRAKE DISTRIBU-
TION in this section for more information.
There are a few performance characteristics of the
Mark 20e Antilock Brake System that may at first
seem abnormal, but in fact are normal. These char-
acteristics are described below.
NORMAL BRAKING
Under normal braking conditions, the ABS func-
tions the same as a standard base brake system with
a diagonally split master cylinder and conventional
vacuum assist.
ABS BRAKING
ABS operation is available at all vehicle speeds
above 3±5 mph. If a wheel locking tendency is
detected during a brake application, the brake sys-
tem enters the ABS mode. During ABS braking,
hydraulic pressure in the four wheel circuits is mod-
ulated to prevent any wheel from locking. Each
wheel circuit is designed with a set of electric sole-
noids to allow modulation, although for vehicle sta-
bility, both rear wheel solenoids receive the same
electrical signal. Wheel lockup may be perceived at
the very end of an ABS stop and is considered nor-
mal.
During an ABS stop, the brakes hydraulic system
is still diagonally split. However, the brake system
pressure is further split into four control channels.
During antilock operation of the vehicle's brake sys-
tem, the wheels are controlled independently and are
on separate control channels.
The system can build, hold and release pressure at
each wheel, depending on signals generated by the
wheel speed sensors (WSS) at each wheel and
received at the controller antilock brake (CAB).

SERVICE PROCEDURES
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECKING
CAUTION: Use only Mopar brake fluid or an equiv-
alent from a tightly sealed container. Brake fluid
must conform to DOT 3 specifications. Do not use
petroleum-based fluid because seal damage in the
brake system will result.
Refer to SERVICE PROCEDURES in the BASE
BRAKE SYSTEM section in this group for the proper
procedure to check and adjust the brake fluid level in
the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING
The base brake's hydraulic system must be bled
anytime air enters the hydraulic system. The ABS
though, particularly the ICU (HCU), should only be
bled when the HCU is replaced or removed from the
vehicle. The ABS must always be bled anytime it is
suspected that the HCU has ingested air. Under
most circumstances that require the bleeding of the
brakes hydraulic system, only the base brake
hydraulic system needs to be bled.
It is important to note that excessive air in the
brake system will cause a soft or spongy feeling
brake pedal.
During the brake bleeding procedure, be sure the
brake fluid level remains close to the FULL level in
the master cylinder fluid reservoir. Check the fluid
level periodically during the bleeding procedure and
add DOT 3 brake fluid as required.
The ABS must be bled as two independent braking
systems. The non-ABS portion of the brake system
with ABS is to be bled the same as any non-ABS sys-
tem.
The ABS portion of the brake system must be bled
separately. Use the following procedure to properly
bleed the brake hydraulic system including the ABS.
BLEEDING
When bleeding the ABS system, the following
bleeding sequence must be followed to insure com-
plete and adequate bleeding.
(1) Make sure all hydraulic fluid lines are installed
and properly torqued.
(2) Connect the DRB scan tool to the diagnostics
connector. The diagnostic connector is located under
the lower steering column cover to the left of the
steering column.
(3) Using the DRB, check to make sure the CAB
does not have any fault codes stored. If it does, clear
them using the DRB.WARNING: WHEN BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. A CLEAR BLEED TUBE
MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE BLEEDER SCREWS
AND SUBMERGED IN A CLEAR CONTAINER FILLED
PART WAY WITH CLEAN BRAKE FLUID. DIRECT
THE FLOW OF BRAKE FLUID AWAY FROM YOUR-
SELF AND THE PAINTED SURFACES OF THE VEHI-
CLE. BRAKE FLUID AT HIGH PRESSURE MAY
COME OUT OF THE BLEEDER SCREWS WHEN
OPENED.
(4) Bleed the base brake system using the stan-
dard pressure or manual bleeding procedure as out-
lined in SERVICE PROCEDURES in the BASE
BRAKE SYSTEM section at the beginning of this
group.
(5) Using the DRB, select ANTILOCK BRAKES,
followed by MISCELLANEOUS, then BLEED
BRAKES. Follow the instructions displayed. When
the scan tool displays TEST COMPLETED, discon-
nect the scan tool and proceed.
(6) Bleed the base brake system a second time.
Check brake fluid level in the reservoir periodically
to prevent emptying, causing air to enter the hydrau-
lic system.
(7) Fill the master cylinder reservoir to the full
level.
(8) Test drive the vehicle to be sure the brakes are
operating correctly and that the brake pedal does not
feel spongy.
MASTER CYLINDER BLEEDING
(1) Clamp the master cylinder in a vise.
(2) Attach Master Cylinder Bleed Tube, Special
Tool 8358-1, to the primary port of the master cylin-
der and tighten in place (Fig. 11). Attach Master Cyl-
inder Bleed Tube, Special Tool 8358-2, to the
secondary port of the master cylinder and tighten in
place. Position the other end of the tubes into the
master cylinder reservoir so their outlets are below
the surface of the brake fluid in the reservoir when
filled.
(3) Fill the brake fluid reservoir with Mopart
brake fluid, or an equivalent conforming to DOT 3
specifications.
(4) Using a wooden dowel as a pushrod (Fig. 11),
press the pistons inward slowly applying brake pres-
sure, then release the pressure, allowing the pistons
to return to the released position. Repeat this several
times until all air bubbles are expelled out of the
tubes and master cylinder bore.
(5) Remove the bleed tubes from the master cylin-
der and plug the outlet ports.
(6) Install the fill cap on the reservoir.
(7) Remove the master cylinder from the vise.
PLBRAKES 5 - 77
Page 158 of 1285

(5) Disconnect the primary and secondary brake
tubes from master cylinder (Fig. 12). Install plugs in
the master cylinder outlet ports.
(6) Clean the area around where the master cylin-
der attaches to the power brake booster using a suit-
able brake cleaner such as MopartBrake Parts
Cleaner or an equivalent.
(7) Remove the 2 nuts attaching master cylinder to
power brake booster (Fig. 12).
(8) Slide the master cylinder straight out of the
power brake booster.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: The master cylinder must be bled before
installing it on the vehicle.
(1) Bleed the master cylinder before installing it
on the vehicle. Refer to MASTER CYLINDER
BLEEDING in SERVICE PROCEDURES within this
section of this service manual group.
(2) Wipe the face of the power brake booster clean
where the master cylinder seal comes in contact
when it's installed. Do not get any cleaner or debris
inside the booster.(3) Position the master cylinder on the studs of
power brake vacuum booster aligning the booster
push rod with the master cylinder push rod. Care-
fully push the master cylinder onto the studs until it
contacts the face of the booster.
(4) Install the two master cylinder mounting nuts
(Fig. 12). Tighten the mounting nuts to a torque of
28 N´m (250 in. lbs.).
(5) Connect the primary and secondary brake
tubes to the master cylinder primary and secondary
ports (Fig. 12). Tighten the nuts to a torque of 17
N´m (145 in. lbs.).
(6) Install the wiring harness connector on the
master cylinder reservoir fluid level switch.
(7) Install the battery and clamp in place.
(8) Connect the positive, then the negative
(ground) cable on the battery.
(9) Fill the master cylinder to the proper fill level.

sensor to the rear of the strut (Fig. 20). Remove the
wheel speed sensor.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Failure to install speed sensor cables
properly may result in contact with moving parts or
an over extension of cables causing an open cir-
cuit. Be sure that cables are installed, routed, and
clipped properly.
(1) Attach the wheel speed sensor to the strut
using the its mounting screw (Fig. 20).
(2) Install the wheel speed sensor head in the
steering knuckle (Fig. 19). Install the mounting bolt.
Tighten the mounting bolt to a torque of 12 N´m (105
in. lbs.).
(3) From the sensor bracket on the strut, loop the
sensor cable upward, then downward at the outside
of the frame rail. Install the speed sensor cable grom-
met onto the retaining bracket attached to the brake
hose on the outside of the frame rail.
(4) Loop the wheel speed sensor cable around the
bottom of the frame rail and connect it to the wiring
harness connector on the inside of the frame rail
(Fig. 18). Remember to push in the locking tab on the
