Fill master cylinder. Install vacuum bleed equipment to first
bleeder valve to be serviced. Open bleeder valve 3/4-1 turn. Depress
vacuum pump and pull fluid into reservoir jar. Bleed each bleeder
valve in sequence. See BLEEDING SEQUENCE table.
PRESSURE BLEEDING
1) Clean master cylinder cap and surrounding area. Remove
cap. With pressure tank at least 1/2 full, connect to master cylinder
with adapters. Attach bleeder hose to first bleeder valve to be
serviced. See BLEEDING SEQUENCE table.
2) Place other end of hose in clean glass jar partially
filled with clean brake fluid so end of hose is submerged in fluid.
The hold off valve must be positioned properly before pressure
bleeding (if equipped). See HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVES under BRAKE
SYSTEM BLEEDING in this article.
3) Open release valve on pressure bleeder. Follow equipment
manufacturer's pressure instructions or see PRESSURE BLEEDER SETTINGS
table. Open bleeder screw 3/4-1 turn and note fluid flow.
4) Close bleeder screw when fluid flowing is free of bubbles.
Repeat procedure on remaining wheels in proper sequence. Check brake
pedal operation after bleeding has been completed.
5) Remove pressure bleeding equipment and valve retainer from
hold off valve. Ensure that master cylinder is full of fluid.

MANUAL BLEEDING
NOTE: When bleeding disc brakes, air may tend to cling to caliper
walls. Lightly tap caliper, while bleeding, to aid in
removal of air.
1) Fill master cylinder. Install bleeder hose to first
bleeder valve to be serviced. See BLEEDING SEQUENCE table. Submerge
other end of hose in clean glass jar partially filled with clean brake
fluid. See Fig. 8.
2) Open bleeder valve 3/4-1 turn. Depress brake pedal slowly
through full travel. Close bleeder valve and release pedal. Repeat
procedure until flow of fluid shows no signs of air bubbles.
NOTE: When bleeding brake system manually, ensure bleeder valve is
closed when brake pedal is released.

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.

1988 Cruise Control Systems
JEEP CRUISE COMMAND
All Models
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Jeep vehicles use an electro-mechanical servo system. The
system consists of a control module, speed sensor, servo, control
switch assembly, vacuum storage canister, check valve and release
system. Release system consists of a mechanical vacuum vent valve and
brake and clutch (M/T) release switches.
Cruise control switch is an integral part of turn signal
switch lever and consists of 2 separate switches. First is an "ON-OFF"
and "RESUME" slide switch located on flat of directional switch lever.
Second is "SET/COAST" push button switch located at end of
directional switch lever. To engage system, move slide switch to "ON"
position and accelerate to desired speed. Depress and release
"SET/COAST" button on end of switch lever. System will now maintain
selected speed.
System will automatically disengage when brake or clutch
pedal is depressed. It can be re-engaged to previously selected speed
by accelerating to 30 MPH and moving slide switch to "RESUME"
position, then releasing switch.
NOTE: When slide switch is moved to "OFF" position, pre-set speed
of "RESUME" function is canceled from memory and must be
reset when system is reactivated.
Higher speed can be set by pressing on accelerator pedal
until new speed is reached and then pushing "SET/COAST" button. Lower
speed can be obtained by lightly depressing brake pedal, allowing the
vehicle to slow to desired speed and then depressing and releasing
"SET/COAST" button.
CONTROL MODULE
Control module receives input voltage representing vehicle
speed from speed sensor, which is driven by the speedometer cable.
Control module has a low speed circuit that prevents operation at
speeds below 30 MPH. See Fig. 1.
SERVO
Servo is controlled by control module and uses manifold
vacuum to control throttle. Bead-link chain connects servo cable to
throttle linkage. See Fig. 1.
CONTROL SWITCH
Control switch assembly is an integral part of turn signal
switch lever. See Fig. 1.
RELEASE SYSTEM
Release system deactivates cruise control system when brake
or clutch pedal is depressed. Either servo vent valve or mechanical
vacuum vent switch admits atmospheric pressure into servo when brake
pedal is depressed.
