GENERAL INFORMATION
Throughout this group, references may be made to
a particular vehicle by letter or number designation.
A chart showing the break down of these designa-
tions is included in the Introduction Section at the
front of this service manual. Standard brake equipment consists of:
² Double pin floating caliper disc front brakes.
² Rear automatic adjusting drum brakes.
² Differential valve with a brake warning switch.
² Master cylinder.
² Vacuum power booster.
² Double pin floating caliper rear disc brakes are
available on some models. The Bendix Antilock 4 Brake System, uses the fol-
lowing standard brake system components. Master
cylinder, power booster, caliper assemblies, braking
discs, pedal assembly, brake lines and hoses. The
unique parts of the Bendix Antilock 4 Brake System
consists of the following components, modulator as-
sembly, unique proportioning valves, unique junction
block, wheel speed sensors, tone wheels, and elec-
tronic control unit. These components will be de-
scribed in detail in the Bendix Antilock 4 Brake
System section in this service manual supplement. The hydraulic system, (Fig. 1) on the Bendix Anti-
lock 4 brake system is diagonally split. Diagonally
split hydraulic brake systems, have the left front and
right rear brakes on one hydraulic system and the
right front and left rear on the other. A diagonally
split hydraulic brake system, will maintain half of
the vehicles braking capability if there is a failure in
either half of the hydraulic system. The Bendix Antilock 4 Brake System uses two
types of brake line fittings and tubing flares on the
modulator assembly (Fig. 1). The different types are
the ISO style and double wall style with their corre-
sponding fittings at different joint locations. See (Fig.
2) for specific joint locations and type of tubing
flares. CAUTION: When servicing a vehicle, sheet metal
screws, bolts or other metal fastener cannot be in-
stalled in a shock tower to take the place of any
original plastic clip. Also, NO holes can be drilled
into the front shock tower in the area shown in (Fig.
3), for installation of any metal fasteners into the
shock tower.
Because of minimum clearance in this area, (Fig.
3) installation of metal fasteners could damage the
coil spring coating and lead to a corrosion failure of
the spring. If a plastic clip is missing, lost or broken
during servicing a vehicle, replace only with the
equivalent part listed in the Mopar parts catalog.

Master Cylinder Fluid Level .................. 3 Testing for Fluid Contamination
............... 4
MASTER CYLINDER FLUID LEVEL
Check master cylinder reservoir brake fluid level a
minimum of two times a year. Master cylinder reservoirs are marked with the
words fill to bottom of rings indicating proper fluid
level (Fig. 4). Use only Mopar tbrake fluid or an equivalent from
a sealed container. Brake fluid must conform to DOT
3, specifications. Use only brake fluid that was stored in a tightly-
sealed container.
CAUTION: DO NOT use petroleum-based fluid be-
cause seal damage in the brake system will result.
CAUTION: DO NOT use brake fluid with a lower
boiling point, as brake failure could result during
prolonged hard braking.
If necessary add only an approved brake fluid to
master cylinder fluid reservoir until filled to the
proper level. Correct master cylinder fluid reservoir
fill level is to the bottom of the primary reservoir
split ring.
BLEEDING BENDIX ANTILOCK 4 BRAKE SYSTEM
CAUTION: When bleeding the Bendix Antilock 4
Brake System hydraulic circuits, refer to the Bendix
Antilock 4 Brake System bleeding procedure in this
service manual supplement.
BASE BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: The base brakes hydraulic system, on a
vehicle equipped with a Bendix Antilock 4 Brake
System, can NOT be bled using a brake hydraulic
system pressure bleeder. This type of pressure
bleeding equipment, does not develop the pressure
required in the brake hydraulic system, to ade-
quately bleed all trapped air. The only approved
method of bleeding the base brakes hydraulic sys-
tem, on vehicles equipped with a Bendix Antilock 4
Brake System, is the manual procedure of pressur-
izing the hydraulic system using constant moderate
to heavy foot pressure on the brake pedal.
When bleeding brake hydraulic systems, some air
may be trapped in brake lines or valves as far as ten
feet from the bleeder screw (Fig. 5). Therefore, it is
essential to have a fast flow of a large volume of
brake fluid when bleeding the brakes. This will en-
sure all trapped air is completely bled out of the
brakes hydraulic system.
To bleed the base brake hydraulic system. Attach a
clear plastic hose to the bleeder screw starting at the
right rear wheel and feed the hose into a clear jar
containing fresh brake fluid (Fig. 6). The following wheel sequence when bleeding the
base brakes hydraulic system should be used. This
sequence will ensure adequate removal of all trapped
air from the hydraulic system.
² Right rear wheel
² Left front wheel
Fig. 4 Master Cylinder Fluid Level
Fig. 5 Trapped Air in Brake Line
Ä BRAKES 5 - 3

² Left rear wheel
² Right front wheel
(1) Pump brake pedal three or four times, then
hold a constant moderate to heavy foot pressure on
the brake pedal.
CAUTION: Just cracking the bleeder screw often re-
stricts fluid flow, and a slow, weak fluid discharge
will NOT get all the air out.
(2) Open bleeder screw (Fig. 7) at least 1 full turn.
When bleeder screw opens, brake pedal will drop to
the floor. (3) Close bleeder screw. Release brake pedal off
floor only afterbleeder screw is completely closed.
(4) Repeat steps 1 through 3, four or five times, at
each bleeder screw. This should pass a sufficient
amount of brake hydraulic fluid to expel all trapped
air. Be sure to monitor brake fluid level in master
cylinder fluid reservoir. It must stay at a level that
will not allow air to re-enter the hydraulic system
through the master cylinder. After 4 to 8 ounces of hydraulic fluid has been bled
from the bleeder screw at this wheel, and an air-free
flow has been maintained, a good bleed is indicated. Repeat above procedure at all other remaining
bleeder screws, while checking brake pedal for travel. If brake pedal travel is still excessive or has
not improved, enough brake fluid has not passed
through the hydraulic system to expel all trapped
air. Be sure to monitor brake fluid level in the mas-
ter cylinder brake fluid reservoir. It must stay at the
proper level so air will not be allowed to re-enter the
brake system through the master cylinder. Test drive vehicle to be sure brakes are operating
correctly and that pedal is not spongy.
TESTING FOR FLUID CONTAMINATION
Indications of fluid contamination are swollen or
deteriorated rubber parts. Swollen rubber parts indicate the presence of petro-
leum in the brake fluid. To test for contamination, put small amount of
drained brake fluid in clear glass jar. If fluid sepa-
rates into layers, there is mineral oil contamination. If contaminated, drain and thoroughly flush sys-
tem. Replace master cylinder, proportioning valve,
caliper seals, wheel cylinder seals and all hoses.

ANTILOCK WARNING LAMP DIODE
The Warning Lamp Relay on the Bendix Antilock
4 Brake System has been replaced with a diode. The
diode is used to control the function of the warning
lamp and is located inside the CAB module wiring
harness. The diode is a replaceable component of the
wiring harness, and will not require replacement of
the entire wiring harness if only the diode is diag-
nosed to have failed. When the system relay is de-energized, the Anti-
lock warning lamp will be lit. This will occur because
a ground path exists for the Antilock warning lamp
through the Antilock warning lamp diode and the
system relay armature. When the system relay is en-
ergized by the CAB, the system relay armature will
no longer provide a ground and the lamp will turn
off. Thus, the lamp will be lit if either the CAB is
disconnected or a system fault causes the Antilock to
be turned off.
PUMP/MOTOR RELAY
Pump/Motor power is supplied by the Pump/Motor
Relay. The Pump/Motor Relay is either mounted on
the left front inner fender shield, or the front of the
left shock tower. The mounting location is dependent
on whether the vehicle is or is not equipped with a
power distribution center. See (Fig. 11 and 12) for
specific mounting locations.
ANTILOCK WARNING LAMP OFF
System Relay Energized
From pin 57, the CAB energizes the Antilock sys-
tem relay coil, thus the electrical current flow in the
coil closes the system relay. Then electrical current
is provided to pins 47 and 41 of the CAB to provide
power to the modulator valves. The CAB turns off the Amber Antilock Warning
Lamp by breaking the ground path through pin 15 of
the CAB.
ANTILOCK WARNING LAMP ON
System Relay De-Energized.
When the Amber Antilock Warning Lamp is on,
there is no electrical current flow from the CAB at
pin 57 and the System Relay coil is NOT energized.
No electrical current flows to pin 47 and 41 (modula-
tor valve power), or to the Antilock Warning Lamp
diode. Thus, the Amber Antilock Warning Lamp is
not energized. The Amber Antilock Warning Lamp is
now grounded through the Antilock Warning Lamp
diode and pin 15 of the CAB turning on the Amber
Antilock Warning Lamp.
HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS AND VALVE OPERATION
Through the following operation descriptions and
diagrams. The function of the various hydraulic con-
trol valves in the ABS system will be described. The
fluid control valves mentioned below, control the flow
of pressurized brake fluid to the wheel brakes during
the different modes of Antilock braking. For explanation purposes we will assume all speed
sensors are sending the same wheel speed informa-
tion, requiring the same hydraulic fluid modulation
at the same rate.
NORMAL BRAKING
BUILD/DECAY VALVES
Closed (Fig. 1)
The brake pedal is applied. The travel of the brake
pedal closes primary and secondary circuits from the
master cylinder fluid supply. Brake fluid from the
master cylinder primary and secondary circuits flows
through the build/decay valves to the wheel brakes.

LATCHING VERSUS NON-LATCHING ABS FAULTS
Some faults detected by the CAB are latching; the
fault is latched and ABS is disabled until the igni-
tion switch is reset. Thus ABS is disabled even if the
original fault has disappeared. Other faults are non-
latching; any warning lights that are turned on, are
only turned on as long as the fault condition exists.
As soon as the condition goes away, the Antilock
Warning Light is turned off. Although a fault code
will be set in most cases.
BENDIX ANTILOCK 4 BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
Bendix Antilock 4 Brake System Diagnostics, be-
yond basic mechanical diagnostics, covered earlier in
this section, are accomplished by using the DRB scan
tool. See testing procedures outlined in the 1994 Ben-
dix Antilock 4 Diagnostics Manual. Please refer to the above mentioned manual for
any further electronic diagnostics and service proce-
dures that are required on the Bendix Antilock 4
Brake System.
ON-CAR ABS BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE
GENERAL SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
The following are general cautions which should be
observed when servicing the Bendix Antilock 4
Brake System and other vehicle electronic systems.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in
Antilock Brake System component damage. If welding work is to be performed on a vehicle us-
ing an electric arc welder, disconnect the 60 way wir-
ing harness connector from the CAB, prior to
performing the welding operation. The wiring harness connector should never be con-
nected or disconnected from the CAB with the igni-
tion key in the ON or Run position. (3) Most components making up the assemblies of
the Bendix Antilock 4 Brake System can not be ser-
viced separately from those assemblies. This will re-
quire replacement of the complete assembly for the
servicing of these components. Do not disassemble
any component from an assembly which is desig-
nated as non-serviceable.
CHECKING BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
CAUTION: Only use brake fluid conforming to DOT
3 specifications, such as Mopar or Equivalent. Do
not use any fluid which contains a petroleum base.
Do not use a container which has been used for pe-
troleum based fluids or a container which is wet
with water. Petroleum based fluids will cause swell-
ing and distortion of rubber parts in the hydraulic
brake system. Water will mix with brake fluid, low-
ering the boiling point of the brake fluid, possibly causing brake fluid to boil resulting in brake fade.
Keep all brake fluid containers capped to prevent
contamination. Remove the front cap of the master
cylinder reservoir and fill to the bottom of the split
ring.
For the specific procedure for the inspection of
brake fluid level and adding of brake to the reser-
voir. Refer to the Service Adjustments Section in this
group of the service manual.
BLEEDING BENDIX ANTILOCK 4 BRAKE SYSTEM
The base brakes and Antilock Brake System must
be bled anytime air is permitted to enter the hydrau-
lic system, due to disconnection of brake lines, hoses
or components. If the Antilock Modulator Assembly is removed
from the vehicle, both the Base Brake System and
the Antilock Brake System must be bled using the
appropriate procedure. It is important to note that
excessive air in the brake system will cause a soft or
spongy feeling brake pedal. During brake bleeding operations, ensure that
brake fluid level remains close to the FULL level in
the reservoir. Check brake fluid level periodically
during bleeding procedure, adding DOT 3 brake fluid
as required.
CAUTION: The base brake and Antilock brake hy-
draulic systems, on the Bendix Antilock 4 Brake
System, can NOT be bled using any type of brake
pressure bleeding equipment. This type of bleeding
equipment does not develop the pressure required
in the brake hydraulic system, to adequately bleed
all trapped air. The only approved method for bleed-
ing air out of the hydraulic system on vehicles
equipped with the Bendix Antilock 4 Brake System,
is the manual procedure of pressurizing the hydrau-
lic system using constant, moderate to heavy foot
pressure on the brake pedal.
The Bendix Antilock 4 Brake System must be bled
as two independent brake systems. The non ABS por-
tion of the brake system is to be bled the same as
any non ABS system. Refer to the Service Adjust-
ments section in this manual for the proper bleeding
procedure to be used. The Bendix Antilock 4 Brake
System can only be bled using a manual method of
pressurizing the brakes hydraulic system. The Antilock portion of brake system MUST be
bled separately. This bleeding procedure requires the
use of the DRB Diagnostic tester and the bleeding se-
quence procedure outlined below.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Throughout this group, references may be made to
a particular vehicle by letter or number designation.
A chart showing the breakdown of these designations
is included in the Introduction Section at the front of
this service manual. The clutch used in all models are a single, dry disc
type with no adjustment for wear being provided in
the clutch itself. The clutch pedal is connected to the release shaft
through a cable and lever. The upper end of the clutch pedal pivots in the
pedal bracket on two nylon bushings. These bushings
do not require periodic lubrication.
CLUTCH CHATTER COMPLAINTS
For all clutch chatter complaints, do the following:
(1) Check for loose, misaligned, or broken engine
and transmission mounts. If present, they should be
corrected at this time. Test vehicle for chatter. If
chatter is gone, there is no need to go any further. If
chatter persists: (2) Check to see if clutch cable routing is correct
and operates smoothly. (3) Check for loose connections in drive train. Cor-
rect any problems and determine if clutch chatter
complaints has been satisfied. If not, (4) Remove transaxle. See Group 21, Manual Tran-
saxle, for procedure. (5) Check to see if the release bearing is sticky or
binding. Replace bearing, if needed. (6) Check linkage for excessive wear on bushings.
Replace all worn parts. A small amount of bearing
grease between the release shaft bushings and the
shaft is beneficial, but not required. (7) Check flywheel and clutch pressure plate for
contamination (dirt, oil) or scored. Replace flywheel
and/or pressure plate, if required. (8) Check to see if the clutch disc hub splines are
damaged. Replace with new disc. (9) Check input shaft splines for damage. Replace
if necessary. (10) Check for uneven wear on clutch fingers.
EXCESSIVE CLUTCH SPIN TIME/CLASH INTO
REVERSE COMPLAINTS
For all excessive clutch spin time/clash into reverse
complaints, do the following: (1) Depress clutch pedal to floor and hold. After
three seconds, shift to reverse. If clash is present,
clutch has excessive spin time. (2) Remove transaxle. See Group 21, Manual Tran-
saxle, for procedure. (3) Check the input shaft spline, clutch disc splines
and release bearing for dry rust. If present, clean
rust off and apply a light coat of bearing grease to
the input shaft splines. Apply grease on the input
shaft splines only where the clutch disc slides. (4) Check to see if the clutch disc hub splines are
damaged, replace with new disc if required. (5) Check the input shaft for damaged splines. Re-
place as necessary. (6) Check for excessive clutch disc runout or
warpage. (7) Install clutch assembly and transaxle.
CLUTCH CABLE MECHANISM
The manual transaxle clutch release system has a
unique self-adjusting mechanism to compensate for
clutch disc wear. This adjuster mechanism is located
within the clutch pedal. The preload spring main-
tains tension on the cable. This tension keeps the
clutch release bearing continuously loaded against
the fingers of the clutch cover assembly. When the pedal is depressed, teeth on the adjuster
and the positioner engage and pull the release cable.
A spring located behind the adjuster ensures proper
tooth engagement. When the pedal is released, the adjuster contacts
the bumper. This separates the adjuster and posi-
tioner teeth, allowing the preload spring to function.
Ä MANUAL TRANSAXLE CLUTCH 6 - 1

CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
The clutch pedal position switch functions as a
safety interlock device. It prevents possible engine
cranking with the clutch engaged. The clutch pedal position switch is wired in series
between the starter relay coil and the ignition
switch. The clutch pedal position switch is mounted to a
bracket located next to the clutch pedal. The switch
is held in place by four plastic wing tabs. The clutch pedal position switch has an adjustable
striker plate. The striker plate is located on the left
side of the clutch pedal (Fig. 3).
DIAGNOSIS
Disconnect clutch pedal position switch harness
from instrument panel wiring harness. Using a ohm
meter, check for continuity between the two termi-
nals in the connector on the switch harness. There
should be no continuity between the terminals when
the switch is in its neutral (fully extended) position.
When the switch is depressed more than 1.25 mm
(0.050) the ohm meter should show continuity. If all ohm meter readings are correct and the
switch does not operate correctly, adjustment is re-
quired. Refer to Switch Adjustment Procedure to ad-
just switch.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect electrical harness to switch connec-
tor. (2) Depress wing tabs on switch and push switch out
of mounting bracket. Then slide wires through slot in
bracket.
INSTALLATION
(1) Slide switch wires through slot in switch bracket.
(2) Line up switch tab with slot in switch bracket
and push switch into position. Do not pull on the switch
wires to seat switch into bracket, switch damage may
occur. (3) After installation, the switch must be adjusted
and checked for proper operation. Refer to Switch
Adjustment Procedure.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
When performing switch adjustment, the floor mat
should be removed before beginning adjustment proce-
dures. (1) Set the park brake.
(2) Disconnect clutch cable at the transaxle end of
the cable. (3) Depress clutch pedal, loosen adjusting nut and
slide the striker plate forward to fully compress the
clutch pedal position switch plunger. (4) Tighten adjusting nut to 12 N Im (105 in. lbs.).
(5) Reconnect clutch cable.
The clutch pedal position switch is now ad-
justed. A final check is required to insure that the
switch is ``made'' below the clutch release point. (1) With the park brake set and the vehicle IN
NEUTRAL turn the key to the start position. The
vehicle should not crank. If the vehicle cranks do
not continue with this test. Recheck the switch and
switch adjustment to determine the cause. If the ve-
hicle does not crank proceed to step 2. (2) With the park brake set and the vehicle IN
GEAR turn the key to the start position.
WARNING: BEFORE PERFORMING STEP THREE BE
SURE THAT THE AREA IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE
IS CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS AND PEOPLE. VE-
HICLE MAY MOVE WHEN PERFORMING THIS TEST.
(3) Slowly depress the clutch pedal and feel for any
vehicle motion when the starter is energized. If there is
no motion the switch is properly adjusted. If motion is
felt, repeat the adjustment procedure.

CLUTCH DISC REPLACEMENT
REMOVAL
(1) Remove transaxle. See Group 21, Manual Tran-
saxle, for procedure. (2) Mark clutch cover and flywheel, to maintain
their same relative positions when installing clutch
assembly (Fig. 4). (3) Insert Clutch Disc Aligning Tool C-4676
through the clutch disc hub to prevent the clutch disc
from falling and damaging the facings (Fig. 5). (4) Loosen clutch cover attaching bolts, one or two
turns at a time, in a crisscross pattern, to release
spring pressure evenly and avoid cover damage.
CAUTION: Do not touch the clutch disc facing with
oily or dirty hands. Oil or dirt transferred from your
hands onto the clutch disc facing may cause clutch
chatter.
(5) Remove the clutch pressure plate and cover as-
sembly and disc from flywheel. Handle carefully to
avoid contaminating the friction surfaces.
INSPECTION
(1) Inspect for oil leakage through engine rear
main bearing oil seal and transaxle input shaft seal.
If leakage is noted, it should be corrected at this
time. (2) The friction faces of the flywheel and pressure
plate should not have excessive discoloration, burned
areas, small cracks, deep grooves, or ridges. Replace
parts as required.
CAUTION: Do not polish flywheel to a ``mirror like''
surface.
