1991 BRAKES
Disc & Drum
Chrysler Motors: Ram-50;
Mitsubishi: Montero, Pickup
DESCRIPTION
Brake system consists of a master cylinder, vacuum power
brake unit, proportioning valve and self-adjusting assembly. Pickup
and Ram-50 models have a Load-Sensing Proportioning Valve (LSPV). All
models are equipped with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Parking brake assembly activates rear brakes.
BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM
BLEEDING PROCEDURES
Montero
Bleed brake system in following order: right rear, right
front and left front (one circuit handles both rear brakes).
Pickup & Ram-50
Bleed brake system in following order: right rear, left rear,
LSPV, right front and left front.
ADJUSTMENTS
BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT & FREE PLAY
1) Separate connector from stoplight switch, and loosen lock
nut. Position switch so it does not contact brake pedal arm. Adjust
brake pedal height by rotating master cylinder push rod (yoke, if
equipped) until distance from top of brake pedal to floor board is
correct. See BRAKE PEDAL SPECIFICATIONS table.
2) DO NOT depress push rod. Tighten lock nut, and ensure
brake pedal height is within specification. Start engine to evacuate
brake booster chamber. Stop engine, and apply brake several times to
remove vacuum from brake booster.
3) Using hand pressure, depress brake pedal to measure free
play before resistance is felt. If distance is incorrect, bleed the
brake hydraulic system, and check for misadjusted brakes. Refer to the
BRAKE PEDAL SPECIFICATIONS table.

PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE
NOTE: Adjust service brake before adjusting parking brake.
Montero
1) Start engine, and apply brake pedal. Pull parking brake
lever with a force of 44-45 lbs. (20.0-20.4 kg). Parking brake lever
should move up 4-6 notches.
2) If necessary, turn adjusting cable nut located under
console or at end of cable rod. See Fig. 3.

Pickup & Ram-50
Fully release parking brake, and allow slack in rear cable to
prevent brake shoe drag. Adjust turnbuckle for 2WD models (turn
adjusting nut on equalizer for 4WD models) to obtain a brake lever
stroke of 16-17 notches with a force of 66 lbs. (29.9 kg). Ensure
equalizer is at right angle to joint.
REAR DRUM BRAKE SHOES
Set adjustment assembly so brake shoes outside diameter is 9.
97-9.98 in. (253.2-253.5 mm). After brake drum installation, depress
Page 211 of 1333
brake pedal to center shoes, and check pedal travel. Rotate brake drum
to verify free movement.
STOPLIGHT SWITCH
Loosen lock nut, and adjust switch-to-pedal arm clearance to
.02-.04" (.5-1.0 mm). Tighten lock nut. DO NOT depress master cylinder
push rod during stoplight switch adjustment.
TESTING
POWER BRAKE UNIT
Check Valve Inspection
Remove vacuum hose from power brake unit. Remove check valve
from hose (if possible). Using a vacuum pump, ensure airflow is in
direction of intake manifold only.
System Check
1) Run engine for 2 minutes, and shut it off. Depress brake
pedal several times with normal pressure. If pedal height gradually
becomes higher with successive applications, power brake unit is okay.
If pedal height remains steady, power brake unit is faulty.
2) With engine stopped, depress brake pedal repeatedly until
it's height no longer falls. Hold brake pedal down, and start engine.
If pedal moves downward slightly, power brake unit is okay. If pedal
height does not change, power brake unit is faulty.
3) With engine running, press and hold brake pedal and shut
off engine. Hold brake pedal for 30 seconds. Brake pedal height should
not change. If pedal height falls, power brake unit is faulty.
LOAD-SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE (LSPV) (PICKUP & RAM-50)
1) Before diagnosing Load-Sensing Proportioning Valve (LSPV)\
,
ensure all other brake components are operating properly. When all
other brake system components are determined to be okay, perform LSPV
test beginning with next step.
2) Ensure unladen vehicle is on level ground. Ensure lever is
not contacting stopper bolt. See Fig. 1.
3) When lever is pushed toward valve, distance from LSPV
lever hole and support hole must be 6.97-7.09 in. (177-180 mm). If
measured distance is not within specification, loosen support bolt.
Adjust support until measured distance is within specification.
4) After measured distance is within specification, connect
pressure gauges to input and output ports of LSPV. See Fig. 4. Bleed
brake system. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM .

POWER BRAKE UNIT CHECK VALVE
NOTE: To test check valve before removal, stop engine, and apply
service brake to ensure air flows only toward intake
manifold.
Removal & Installation
Loosen hose clamps, and remove check valve. Before
installation, coat both ends of check valve with sealant, and install
valve with arrow (identification mark) pointing toward intake
manifold. Install check valve clamp, and secure hose clamps.
POWER BRAKE UNIT
Removal
Remove brake master cylinder. Disconnect vacuum hose from
power brake unit. Disconnect clevis pin attaching brake pedal to power
brake unit push rod. From inside vehicle, remove 4 nuts attaching
power brake unit to firewall. Remove power brake unit.
Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Install master
cylinder. Bleed brake system if necessary.
REAR AXLE BEARINGS & OIL SEAL
Removal (Montero)
1) With drum removed, disconnect brake line from wheel
cylinder. Disconnect bearing case from axle housing end. Remove brake
backing plate, bearing case and axle shaft as an assembly. If axle
shaft binds, use slide hammer with puller to remove.
2) Remove "O" ring and shims for preloading wheel bearing (if\
equipped). Retain shims for reassembly. To remove oil seal, use slide
hammer and hook.
3) To remove wheel bearing, straighten lock washer tabs. See
Fig. 9 . Remove lock nut using spanner wrench. Remove lock washer.
Install lock nut 3 turns on axle shaft. Install Puller (MB990787-01)
to remove axle shaft from bearing case. Rotate nuts with equal force
to remove axle shaft. Remove bearing outer race using a hammer and
drift.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Computer Relearn Procedures
All Models
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
The following general procedures are to be used if
driveability problems are encountered after power loss or battery has
been disconnected. These procedures may provide an aid in eliminating
these problems.
To reduce the possibility of complaints, after any service
which requires battery power to be disconnected, vehicle should be
road tested.
COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES
Vehicles equipped with engine or transmission computers may
require a relearn procedure after vehicle battery is disconnected.
Many vehicle computers memorize and store vehicle operation patterns
for optimum driveability and performance. When vehicle battery is
disconnected, this memory is lost. The computer will use default data
until new data from each key start is stored. As computer memorizes
vehicle operation for each new key start, driveability is restored.
Vehicle computers may memorize vehicles operation patterns for 40 of
more key starts.
Customers often complain of driveability problems during
relearn stage because vehicle acts differently then before being
serviced. Depending on type and make of vehicle and how it is
equipped, the following complaints (driveability problems) may exist:
* Harsh Or Poor Shift Quality
* Rough Or Unstable Idle
* Hesitation Or Stumble
* Rich Or Lean Running
* Poor Fuel Mileage
These symptoms and complaints should disappear after a number
of drive cycles have been memorized. To reduce the possibility of
complaints, after any service which requires battery power to be
disconnected, vehicle should be road tested. If a specific relearn
procedure is not available, the following procedure may be used:
Automatic Transmission
* Set parking brake, start engine in "P" or "N" position.
Warm-up vehicle to normal operating temperature or until
cooling fan cycles.
* Allow vehicle to idle for one minute in "N" position. Select
"D" and allow engine to idle for one minute.
* Accelerate at normal throttle position (20-50%) until vehicle
shifts into top gear.
* Cruise at light to medium throttle.
* Decelerate to a stop, allowing vehicle to downshift, and use
brakes normally.
* Process may be repeated as necessary.
Manual Transmission
Page 223 of 1333
* Place transmission in Neutral position.
* Ensure emergency brake has been set and all accessories
are turned off.
* Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature.
* Allow vehicle to idle in Neutral for one minute.
* Initial relearn is complete: process will be completed during
normal driving.
Some manufacturers identify a specific relearn procedure
which will help establish suitable driveability during relearn stage.
These procedures are especially important if vehicle is equipped with
and electronically controlled automatic transmission or transaxle.
Always complete procedure before returning vehicle to customer.
