GENERAL PROCEDURES
Hydro-
Boost Bleeding
1. NOTE: The Hydro- Boost power brake booster (2B560) is generally self- bleeding, and the
following procedure will normally bleed the air from the power brake booster. Normal operation
of the vehicle will further remove any additional trapped air.
Fill the power steering oil reservoir (3A697) with MERCON® Multi- Purpose ATF XT-2-QDX or
MERCON® equivalent.
2. Remove the powertrain control module (PCM) fuse to prevent the engine from starting.
3. Crank the engine for several seconds.
4. Check the fluid level in the power steering oil reservoir and add if necessary. Install the powertrain control module (PCM) fuse.
5. Start the engine.
6. With the engine running, turn the steering wheel (3600) from stop- to-stop twice. Turn the engine
off.
7. Depress the brake pedal (2455) several times to discharge the accumulator.
8. Repeat Steps 5 and 6.
9. If foaming occurs, stop the engine and allow the foam to dissipate.
10. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 as required, until all the air is removed from the system (when the foaming stops).

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Brake Booster —
Hydro-Boost
Removal WARNING: The power brake booster should not be carried by the accumulator, nor
should it ever be dropped on the accumulator. Check the snap ring on the accumulator for
correct seating before the power brake booster is used. The accumulator contains high-
pressure nitrogen gas and can be dangerous if mishandled.
WARNING: If the accumulator is to be disposed of, it must not be exposed to excessive
heat. Before discarding the accumulator, drill a 1.6- mm (1/16-inch) diameter hole in the end of
the accumulator can to relieve the gas pressure. Always wear safety glasses when performing
this operation.
1. With the engine off, depress the brake pedal (2455) several times to discharge the accumulator.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301). For additional information, refer to Section 414 -
01 .
3. Disconnect the fluid level sensor connector.
4. Disconnect the brake tubes.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Anti-
Lock Control
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 42 , Anti-
Lock Brake for schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
The anti- lock brake control module receives wheel speed readings from each anti- lock brake sensor
and processes this information to determine if an ABS event is necessary. The anti- lock brake sensor
electrically senses each tooth of the anti- lock brake sensor indicators as it passes through the anti- lock
brake sensor's magnetic field.
The anti- lock brake control module continuously monitors and compares the rotational speed of each
wheel, and when it detects an impending wheel lock, modulates hydraulic brake pressure to the
appropriate brake caliper. This is accomplished by the anti- lock brake control module triggering the
hydraulic control unit (HCU) to open and close the appropriate solenoid valves. Once the affected
wheel returns to normal speed, the anti- lock brake control module returns the solenoid valves to their
normal position, and normal (base) braking resumes.
The anti- lock brake control module is self- monitoring. When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN
position, the anti- lock brake control module will do a preliminary electrical check, and at approximately
12 km/h (8 mph) the pump motor is turned on for approximately one half- second. Any malfunction of
the ABS will cause the ABS to shut off and the yellow ABS warning indicator to illuminate, however,
normal power assisted braking remains.
The ABS control module has the ability to store multiple DTCs in memory.
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.
