GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
is to prevent wheel lock-up under heavy braking con-
ditions on virtually any type of road surface. Anti-
Lock Braking is desirable because a vehicle which is
stopped without locking the wheels will retain direc-
tional stability and some steering capability. This al-
lows the driver to retain greater control of the
vehicle during heavy braking. This section of the service manual covers the de-
scription, diagnostics, and on car service for the Ben-
dix Anti-Lock 6 Brake System. If other service is required on the non ABS related components of the
brake system. Refer to the appropriate section in this
group of the manual for the specific service procedure
required.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM DEFINITIONS
In this section of the manual several abbreviations
are used for the components that are in the Anti-
Lock Braking System They are listed below for your
reference.

If the vehicle is not set in motion within 3 minutes
from the time the ignition switch is set in the on po-
sition. The solenoid test is bypassed but the pump/
motor is activated briefly to verify that it is
operating correctly.
WARNING SYSTEMS OPERATION
The ABS system uses an Amber Anti-Lock Warn-
ing Lamp, located in the instrument cluster. The
purpose of the warning lamp is discussed in detail
below. The Amber Anti-Lock Warning Light will turn on
when the (CAB) detects a condition which results in
a shutdown of the Anti-Lock function. The Amber
Anti-Lock Warning Lamp is normally on until the
(CAB) completes its self tests and turns the lamp off
(approximately 1-2 seconds). When the Amber Anti-
Lock Warning Light is on only the Anti-Lock func-
tion of the brake system if affected. The standard
brake system and the ability to stop the car will not
be affected when only the Amber Anti-Lock Warning
Light is on.
NORMAL OPERATION OF WARNING LAMP
With the ignition in the Crank position, the Red
Brake Warning Lamp will turn on as a bulb check.
The Amber Anti-Lock Warning Lamp will stay on for
1-2 seconds then turn off. Once verification of the self
diagnosis is completed.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The following is a detailed description of the Anti-
Lock Brake System components. For information on
servicing the Four Wheel Disk Brake System, see the
standard Brake section of this Service Manual.
MODULATOR ASSEMBLY
WARNING: THE ONLY PART OF THE MODULATOR
ASSEMBLY THAT IS A SERVICEABLE COMPONENT
IS THE DELTA P SWITCH. THE REMAINING COM-
PONENTS OF THE MODULATOR ASSEMBLY ARE
NOT SERVICEABLE ITEMS. NO ATTEMPT SHOULD
BE MADE TO REMOVE OR SERVICE ANY OTHER
PARTS OF THE MODULATOR ASSEMBLY.
The Modulator Assembly (Fig. 1) is located under
the battery tray and is covered with an acid shield.
The Modulator Assembly contains the following com-
ponents for controlling the Anti-Lock braking sys-
tem. 2 Isolation Valves, 4 Build/Decay Valves, 4
Shuttle Orifices, 2 Fluid Sumps, 2 Accumulators, a
Pump/Motor and a Pressure Differential Valve/
Switch. Also attached to the Modulator Assembly are
4 brake tubes which are connected to an 8 way con-
nector block. The connector block is mounted to the
left frame rail below the master cylinder in the same location as the non ABS equipped combination valve.
The wheel brake lines are attached to the system via
the connector block.
ISOLATION VALVES
The Isolation Valves are used to isolate the master
cylinder from the rest of the brake hydraulic circuit
during an Anti-Lock stop. Two Isolation Valves are
used, one for the primary circuit and one for the sec-
ondary circuit. The Isolation Valves are spring
loaded in the released position. In the released posi-
tion the Isolation Valves provide a fluid path from
the master cylinder outputs to the wheel brakes via
the Build/Decay valves. When actuated it provides a
fluid path from the accumulator (which was charged
by the Pump/Motor during ABS operation) to the
Build/Decay valves through the Shuttle Orifices.
BUILD/DECAY VALVES
There are 4 Build/Decay valves, one for each
wheel. In the released position they provide a fluid
path from the wheel brakes to the Isolation Valve
through the shuttle orifices. In the actuated (decay)
position, they provide a fluid path from the wheel
brakes to the sump. The Build/Decay valves are
spring loaded in the released (build) position.
SHUTTLE ORIFICE
There are 4 Shuttle Orifice Valves, one for each
wheel. The Shuttle Orifice Valve is a hydraulically
actuated valve which shuttles when the Build/Decay
valve is actuated. Actuating of the Build/Decay valve
causes a pressure differential to be created across the
Shuttle Orifice Valve. This acts like placing an ori-
fice (restriction) in the line between the Isolation
Valve and the Build/Decay Valve. This restriction
provides a controlled build rate to each wheel brake
during an Anti-Lock stop. The Shuttle Orifice Valve
will remain in the orificed position until the ABS cy-
cle is complete. When the ABS cycle has been com-
pleted the Isolation and Build/Decay valves will
return to their released position which will equalize
the pressure across the Shuttle Orifice Valves. When
the pressure equalizes, the spring loaded Shuttle Or-
ifice valves will return to the unrestricted position.
FLUID SUMPS
There are two Fluid Sumps in the Hydraulic As-
sembly, one each for the primary and secondary hy-
draulic circuits. The Fluid Sumps store the brake
fluid that is decayed from the wheel brakes during
ABS cycle. This fluid is then pumped to an accumu-
lator and/or the hydraulic system in order to provide
build pressure. The typical pressure in the sumps is
50 psi, During ABS operation only.
5 - 116 ANTI-LOCK 6 BRAKE SYSTEM Ä
HYDRAULIC SPRING ACCUMULATOR
The Hydraulic Spring Accumulators (Fig. 2) (one
on each circuit) are used to store pressurized hydrau-
lic brake fluid during ABS operation only. This fluid
is used during hard braking when the ABS system is
activated, to supplement brake pressure when re-
quired. During normal Non ABS braking operation
there is NO pressurized brake fluid stored in the ac-
cumulators. The Hydraulic Spring Accumulators are
not a serviceable part of the Modulator Assembly
and should never be removed from the assembly.
PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL VALVE/SWITCH
(DELTA P SWITCH)
The Pressure Differential Valve/Switch is located
inside the hydraulic assembly. This valve/switch func-
tions the same as the Pressure Differential
Valve/Switch located in the combination valve on stan-
dard brake systems. The delta P switch monitors the
primary and secondary hydraulic circuits for a differ-
ence in pressure. A pressure difference greater than
225 psi. Will move and latch the shuttle to ground the
Red Brake Warning Light circuit. This will in turn,
turn on the Red Brake Warning Light in the instru-
ment panel to warn the driver of a hydraulic system
problem. This Pressure Differential Valve Switch is a
replaceable item of the Modulator Assembly. The Red
Brake Warning Light indicates a problem with
the foundation brake system and not the Anti-
Lock system.
PUMP/MOTOR ASSEMBLY
The Modulator Assembly contains 2 Pump Assem-
blies, one each for the primary and secondary hydrau-
lic circuits. Both pumps are driven by a common
electric motor which is part of the Modulator Assembly.
The pumps pick up fluid from the sumps to supply
pressure to the accumulators or hydraulic system via
the isolation valves during an Anti-Lock stop. The
motor only runs during an ABS stop and is controlled
by the (CAB) via the Pump/Motor Relay. The
Pump/Motor Assembly is not a serviceable item. If it
requires service the Modulator Assembly must be re-
placed.

Fig. 2 Hydraulic Spring Accumulator
Ä ANTI-LOCK 6 BRAKE SYSTEM 5 - 117
PROPORTIONING VALVES
Two Proportioning Valves (Fig. 3) are used in the
system, one for each rear brake hydraulic circuit.
The Proportioning Valves function the same as in a
standard brake system. The Proportioning Valves are
located on the bottom of the hydraulic assembly (Fig.
1). They are the same screw in type as the ones used
on the Bendix Anti-Lock 10 and Bosh Anti-Lock
Brake systems.
WHEEL SPEED SENSORS
One Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS), is located at each
wheel (Fig. 4 and 5), and sends a small (AC) signal
to the control module (CAB). This signal is generated
by magnetic induction. The magnetic induction is
created, when a toothed sensor ring Tone Wheel (Fig.
6) passes a stationary magnetic Wheel Speed Sensor.
The (CAB) converts the (AC) signal generated at
each wheel into a digital signal. If a wheel locking
tendency is detected, the (CAB) will then modulate
hydraulic pressure to prevent the wheel(s) from lock-
ing. The front Wheel Speed Sensor is attached to a boss
in the steering knuckle (Fig. 4). The tone wheel is
part of the outboard constant velocity joint. The rear
Wheel Speed Sensor is mounted to the caliper adap-
tor (Fig. 5) and the rear tone wheel is an integral
part of the rear wheel hub (Fig. 6). The speed sensor
air gap is NOT adjustable. The four Wheel Speed Sensors are serviced individ-
ually. The front Tone Wheels are serviced as an as-
sembly with the outboard constant velocity joint. The
rear Tone Wheels are serviced as an assembly with
the rear brake hub. Correct Anti-Lock system operation is dependent
on the vehicle's wheel speed signals, that are gener-
ated by the Wheel Speed Sensors. The vehicle's
wheels and tires must all be the same size and type
to generate accurate signals. In addition, the tires
must be inflated to the recommended pressures for
optimum system operation. Variations in wheel and
tire size or significant variations in inflation pres-
sure can produce inaccurate wheel speed signals.
