ABS JEEP CHEROKEE 1994 Service Workshop Manual

SYSTEM RELAYS
The ABS system has two relays, which are the
main and motor pump relays. The motor pump relay
is used for the motor pump only. The main relay is
used for the solenoid valves and remaining system
components. The main relay is connected to the ECU
at the power control relay terminal.
The pump motor relay starts/stops the pump motor
when signaled by the ECU. The start/stop signal tothe ECU is generated by the pedal travel sensor. Re-
fer to the ABS schematic at the end of this section
for circuit details.
IGNITION SWITCH
The antilock ECU and warning light are in
standby mode with the ignition switch in Off or Ac-
cessory position. No operating voltage is supplied to
the system components.
A 12 volt power feed is supplied to the ECU, re-
lays, solenoid valves, and warning light when the ig-
nition switch is in the ON, Start and Run positions.
Refer to the ABS system schematic at the end of this
section for details.
SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS
Two warning lights are used. The standard brake
system light is red. The antilock system light is am-
ber. Both lights are in the instrument cluster. The
amber ABS light is in circuit with the ECU and op-
erates independently of the red brake light.
The amber light indicates antilock system condi-
tion. It is in circuit with the valve body solenoids and
main relay. The light illuminates (flashes) at
start-up for the self check. The light then goes out
when the self check program determines system op-
eration is normal.
If an ABS fault occurs either during the start-up
self check, or during normal operation, the amber
light remains on until the fault is corrected.
COMBINATION VALVE
A combination valve is used with the ABS system
(Fig. 2). The valve contains a front/rear brake pres-
sure switch and proportioning valve. The valve is
connected between the master cylinder and hydraulic
control unit (HCU).

SYSTEM POWER-UP AND INITIALIZATION
The antilock system is in standby mode with the
ignition switch in Off or Accessory position. The an-
tilock electrical components are not operational.
Turning the ignition switch to On or Run position
allows battery voltage to flow through the switch to
the ECU ignition terminal.
The ABS system is activated when battery voltage
is supplied to the ECU. The ECU performs a system
initialization procedure at this point. Initialization
consists of a static and dynamic self check of system
electrical components.
The static check occurs immediately after the igni-
tion switch is turned to the On position. The dynamic
check occurs when vehicle road speed reaches ap-
proximately 10 kph (6 mph). During the dynamic
check, the ECU briefly cycles the pump to verify op-
eration. The HCU solenoids are checked continu-
ously.
If an ABS component exhibits a fault during ini-
tialization, the ECU illuminates the amber warning
light and registers a fault code in the microprocessor
memory.
ABS OPERATION IN NORMAL BRAKING MODE
The ECU monitors wheel speed sensor inputs con-
tinuously while the vehicle is in motion. However,
the ECU will not activate any ABS components as
long as sensor inputs and the acceleration switch in-
dicate normal braking.
During normal braking, the master cylinder, power
booster and wheel brake units all function as they
would in a vehicle without ABS. The HCU compo-
nents are not activated.
ABS OPERATION IN ANTILOCK BRAKING MODE
The purpose of the antilock system is to prevent
wheel lockup during periods of high wheel slip. Pre-
venting lockup helps maintain vehicle braking action
and steering control.
The antilock ECU activates the system whenever
sensor signals indicate periods of high wheel slip.
High wheel slip can be described as the point where
wheel rotation begins approaching zero (or lockup)
during braking. Periods of high wheel slip occur
when brake stops involve high pedal pressure and
rate of vehicle deceleration.The antilock system retards lockup during high
slip conditions by modulating fluid apply pressure to
the wheel brake units.
Brake fluid apply pressure is modulated according
to wheel speed, degree of slip and rate of decelera-
tion. A sensor at each wheel converts wheel speed
into electrical signals. These signals are transmitted
to the ECU for processing and determination of
wheel slip and deceleration rate.
The Jeep ABS system has three fluid pressure con-
trol channels. The front brakes are controlled sepa-
rately and the rear brakes in tandem (Fig. 10). A
speed sensor input signal indicating high slip condi-
tions activates the ECU antilock program.
Two solenoid valves are used in each antilock con-
trol channel (Fig. 11). The valves are all located
within the HCU valve body and work in pairs to ei-
ther increase, hold, or decrease apply pressure as
needed in the individual control channels.
The solenoid valves are not static during antilock
braking. They are cycled continuously to modulate
pressure. Solenoid cycle time in antilock mode can be
measured in milliseconds.
HCU SOLENOID VALVE OPERATION
Normal Braking
During normal braking, the HCU solenoid valves
and pump are not activated. The master cylinder and
power booster operate the same as a vehicle without
an ABS brake system.
Antilock Pressure Modulation
Solenoid valve pressure modulation occurs in three
stages which are: pressure increase, pressure hold,
and pressure decrease. The valves are all contained
in the valve body portion of the HCU.
Pressure Decrease
The outlet valve is opened and the inlet valve is
closed during the pressure decrease cycle (Fig. 11).
A pressure decrease cycle is initiated when speed
sensor signals indicate high wheel slip at one or
more wheels. At this point, the ECU opens the outlet
valve. Opening the outlet valve also opens the hy-
draulic return circuit to the master cylinder reser-
JANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM OPERATION 5 - 43

voir. Fluid pressure is allowed to bleed off (decrease)
as needed to prevent wheel lock.
Once the period of high wheel slip has ended, the
ECU closes the outlet valve and begins a pressure in-
crease or hold cycle as needed.
Pressure Hold
Both solenoid valves are closed in the pressure hold
cycle (Fig. 12). Fluid apply pressure in the control
channel is maintained at a constant rate. The ECU
maintains the hold cycle until sensor inputs indicate
a pressure change is necessary.
Pressure Increase
The inlet valve is open and the outlet valve is
closed during the pressure increase cycle (Fig. 13).
The pressure increase cycle is used to counteract un-
equal wheel speeds. This cycle controls reapplication
of fluid apply pressure after a pressure decrease cy-
cle.
HCU PUMP AND PEDAL TRAVEL SENSOR
OPERATION
The HCU pump has two functions during antilock
braking. First, the pump supplies the extra volume
of fluid needed. And second, the pump maintains
brake pedal height. The fluid source for the pump is
the master cylinder reservoir. The reservoir and
HCU are interconnected by hoses.
The pump motor is activated by the ECU. How-
ever, the signal to run the pump actually comes from
the pedal travel sensor.
The pedal travel sensor is mounted in the forward
face of the brake booster (Fig. 14). The sensorplunger is actuated by movement of the booster dia-
phragm plate. The sensor has a total of seven pedal
positions, six of which are monitored. The six pedal
positions monitored range from full release to full ap-
ply. Each pedal position (toward full apply), gener-
ates an increasing degree of electrical resistance in
the sensor.
The ECU continuously monitors electrical resis-
tance at the pedal travel sensor. The ECU activates
the pump whenever sensor electrical resistance in-
creases during ABS mode braking.

Fig. 11 Solenoid Valves In Pressure Decrease Cycle
5 - 44 ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM OPERATIONJ

At the start of antilock braking, pedal height will
decrease as the volume of fluid in the master cylin-
der is used up. When pedal height drops a predeter-
mined amount, the pedal travel sensor will signal
the ECU to run the pump. At this point, the pump is
activated to supply the extra fluid volume and re-
store pedal height at the same time.
The pump does not run continuously. It cycles on/
off according to signals from the travel sensor and
ECU. The pump is connected directly to the mastercylinder reservoir by hoses. During antilock braking,
the additional volume of fluid needed is drawn by the
pump from the reservoir.
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OPERATION
Wheel speed input signals are generated by a sen-
sor and tone ring at each wheel. The sensors, which
are connected directly to the ECU, are mounted on
brackets attached to the front steering knuckles and
rear brake support plates.
The sensor triggering devices are the tone rings
which are similar in appearance to gears. The tone
rings are located on the outboard end of each front/
rear axle shaft. The speed sensors generate a signal
whenever a tone ring tooth rotates past the sensor
pickup face.
The wheel speed sensors provide the input signal to
the ECU. If input signals indicate ABS mode brak-
ing, the ECU causes the HCU solenoids to decrease,
hold, or increase fluid apply pressure as needed.
The HCU solenoid valves are activated only when
wheel speed input signals indicate that a wheel is
approaching a high slip, or lockup condition. At this
point, the ECU will cycle the appropriate wheel con-
trol channel solenoid valves to prevent slip or lockup.
The wheel sensors provide speed signals whenever
the vehicle wheels are rotating. The ECU examines
these signals for degree of deceleration and wheel
slip. If signals indicate normal braking, the solenoid
valves are not activated. However, when incoming
signals indicate the approach of wheel slip, or lockup,
the ECU cycles the solenoid valves as needed.
ACCELERATION SWITCH OPERATION
The ECU monitors the acceleration switch at all
times. The switch assembly contains three mercury
switches that monitor vehicle ride height and decel-
eration rates (G-force). Sudden, rapid changes in ve-
hicle and wheel deceleration rate, triggers the switch
sending a signal to the ECU. The switch assembly
provides three deceleration rates; two for forward
braking and one for rearward braking.

Fig. 1 ABS Hydraulic Component Locations (XJ)
JABS COMPONENT SERVICE 5 - 47

The wheel brake components such as the calipers,
brakeshoes, wheel cylinders, rotors and drums are all
serviced the same as standard brake system compo-
nents.
RECOMMENDED BRAKE FLUID
Recommended brake fluid for the Jeep ABS system
is Mopar DOT 3 brake fluid. If Mopar fluid is not
readily available, a top quality fluid meeting SAE
J1703 and DOT 3 standards can be used.
Brake fluid used in the ABS system must meet the
SAE and DOT quality standards and be exception-
ally clean.Never use substandard fluid, fluid not
meeting the SAE and DOT standards, reclaimed
fluid, or fluid from open containers.
CORRECT FLUID LEVEL
Correct brake fluid level is marked on the driver
side of the master cylinder reservoir (Fig. 3).
Preferred fluid level is to the MAX indicator mark.
Acceptable fluid level is between the MAX and MIN
marks.
If fluid level is at or below the MIN mark, the
brake hydraulic system should be checked for leaks.
CAUTION: Clean the reservoir caps and exterior
thoroughly before checking fluid level. Do not allow
any dirt or foreign material to enter the reservoirwhile checking fluid level. Such materials can inter-
fere with solenoid valve operation causing an ABS
malfunction.
IMPORTANCE OF CLEAN BRAKE FLUID
The antilock system brake fluid must be kept clean
and uncontaminated. Foreign material in the fluid,
or non-recommended fluids will cause system mal-
functions.
Fig. 2 ABS Hydraulic Component Locations (YJ)
Fig. 3 Reservoir Fluid Level Indicators
5 - 48 ABS COMPONENT SERVICEJ

Clean the reservoir and caps thoroughly before
checking level or adding fluid. Cap open lines and
hoses during service to prevent dirt entry.
Dirt or foreign material entering the ABS hydrau-
lic system through the reservoir opening will circu-
late within the system. The result will be poor brake
performance and possible component failure. Use
clean, fresh fluid only to top off, or refill the system.
WHEEL SENSOR AIR GAP ADJUSTMENT
Only rear sensor air gap is adjustable. The front
sensors are fixed and cannot be adjusted.
A rear sensor air gap adjustment is only
needed when reinstalling an original sensor. Re-
placement sensors have an air gap spacer at-
tached to the sensor pickup face. The spacer
establishes correct air gap when pressed against
the tone ring during installation. As the tone
ring rotates, it peels the spacer off the sensor to
create the required air gap.
Preferred rear sensor air gap is 1.1 mm (0.043 in.).
Acceptable air gap range is 0.92 to 1.275 mm (0.036
to 0.050 in.).
Front sensor air gap is not adjustable. The front
sensors are fixed in position and cannot be adjusted.
Front sensor air gap can only be checked. Air gap
should be 0.040 to 1.3 mm (0.0157 to 0.051 in.). If
front sensor air gap is incorrect, the sensor is either
loose, or damaged.
