SYSTEM RELAY, ANTI-LOCK WARNING LAMP RELAY AND PUMP/MOTOR RELAYS (FIG. 2)
REMOVE
See (Fig. 2) Power Distribution Center. Find the lo-
cation of the pump/motor relay in the (PDC). Remove
pump/motor relay by pulling upward and install by
pushing firmly into position. Do not twist the relay
when removing or installing it. See (Fig. 10) in the Relay And Warning Lamp Sec-
tion of this group, for the location of the Anti-Lock
system relay and the Yellow Lamp relay. Remove
the relay from the vehicle using the following proce-
dure. (1) Disconnect the wiring harness connectors from
the relays. Connectors are removed from the relays
by disengaging the connector locking tab from relay
and pulling strait off relay, do not twist. (2) Then remove the relay pack to inner fender at-
taching bolt.
INSTALL The Anti-Lock system and Yellow Lamp relay are
installed using the following procedure. (1) Mount the relay pack to the inner fender with
the anti-rotation tab on the bracket around lip of in-
ner fender hole (Fig. 10). (2) Install the relay pack to inner fender mounting
bolt and torque to 4 N Im (35 in. lbs.). (3) Connect the wiring harness connectors onto the
relays until the locking tabs on the connectors and
relays are fully engaged. Do not twist connectors when
installing them on the relays.
WHEEL SPEED SENSORS
INSPECTION
Inspect tone wheels (Fig. 3) for any missing or broken
teeth, this can cause erratic speed sensor signals.
Tone wheels should show no evidence of contact with
the wheel speed sensor. If contact was made, determine
cause and correct. Excessive runout of the tone wheels can cause erratic
wheel speed sensor signals. Replace assembly if runout
exceeds approximately 0.25 mm (0.010 inch).
FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
REMOVAL
(1) Raise vehicle and remove front wheel and tire
assembly. (2) Remove screw from clip (Fig. 4) that holds sensor
assembly grommet into fender shield. (3) Carefully, pull sensor assembly grommet from
fender shield. When removing grommet from
fender shield, do not pull on speed sensor cable. (4) Unplug speed sensor cable connector, from ve-
hicle wiring harness. (5) Remove the 2 screws (Fig. 4) that secure the
speed sensor cable, routing tube to the fender well. (6) Remove the 2 sensor assembly grommets from
the retainer bracket, on the strut damper (Fig. 4). (7) Remove speed sensor assembly to steering
knuckle attaching bolt (Fig. 4). (8) Carefully, remove sensor head from steering
knuckle. If the sensor has seized, due to corrosion, use
a hammer and punch to tap edge of sensor ear

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.
² CABÐController Anti-Lock Brake
² ABSÐAnti-Lock Brake System

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.
