BRAKE
FLUID
AND
LEWEL

RECOMMENDED
FLUID The only brake fluid recommended for AD models
is Mopar brake fluid, or an equivalent fluid meeting SAE
J1703
and DOT 3 standards.
Use new brake fluid only, to top off the master
cylinder or refill the system* Never use re­
claimed fluid, fluid not meeting the
SAE/DOT
standards, fluid marked 70R1, or fluid from a
container that has been left open for any length
of time. Using non recommended or unspecified
fluid can result in brake failure after hard pro­ longed braking.

BRAKE
FLUID
LEWEL Always clean the master cylinder cover before
checking fluid level. If not cleaned, dirt from the
cover could enter the fluid. Also check the cover seal
and replace it if torn or distorted.
Correct fluid level is to the bottom of the ring in­
dicators on models with a plastic reservoir and to
within 1/4 inch of the reservoir rim on all others. If necessary, add fluid to bring up to the proper level.
Note that on disc brake equipped vehicles, fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear.

BRAKE
FLUID
CONTAMINATION
Oil in the fluid will cause brake system rubber
seals to soften and swell. The seals may also become
porous and begin to deteriorate.
If fluid contamination is suspected, drain off a sam­
ple from the master cylinder. A suction gun or simi­ lar device can be used for this purpose.
Empty the drained fluid into a glass container.
Contaminants in the fluid will cause the fluid to sep­
arate into distinct layers. If contamination has oc­
curred, the system rubber seals, hoses and cups must
be replaced and the system thoroughly flushed with clean brake fluid.
Remember that brake fluid tends to darken
over time. Do not confuse this normal condition
with contamination.

REAR
BRAKE
ADJUSTMENT
The rear drum brakes are equipped with a self ad­
justing mechanism. Under normal circumstances, the only time adjustment is required is when the brake-

COMBINATION VALVE OPERATION

METERING (HOLD-OFF) VALVE The metering valve is used to balance brake action
between the front disc and rear drum brakes. The
valve meters (holds-off) full apply pressure to the front disc brakes until the rear brakeshoes are in full
contact with the drums.
The valve is designed to maintain front brake fluid
pressure at 3-30 psi until the hold-off limit of 117 psi is reached. At this point, the metering valve opens completely permitting full fluid apply pressure to the
front disc brakes.
PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH AND VALVE The pressure differential switch is connected to the
brake warning light. The switch is triggered by movement of the switch valve. The purpose of the switch is to monitor fluid pressure in the separate
front/rear brake hydraulic circuits.
A decrease or loss of fluid pressure in either hy­
draulic circuit will cause the switch valve to shuttle
forward or rearward in response to a pressure differ­ ential.
Movement of the switch valve will push the switch
plunger upward. This closes the switch internal con­ tacts completing the electrical circuit to the warning light. The switch valve will remain in an actuated
position until repair restores system pressures to nor­ mal levels.

COMBINATION VALVE TESTING
TESTING METERING VALVE Metering valve operation can be checked visually
and with the aid of a helper.
Observe the metering valve stem while a helper
applies and releases the brakes. If the valve is oper­
ating correctly, the stem will extend slightly when
the brakes are applied and retract when the brakes are released.
If the valve is faulty, replace the entire combina­
tion valve as an assembly.
TESTING PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH (1) Have helper sit in drivers seat to observe brake
warning light and to operate brake pedal.
(2) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(3) Connect bleed hose to left or right rear wheel
cylinder. Then immerse hose end in glass jar par­
tially filled with brake fluid.
(4) Have helper press and hold brake pedal all the
way down and observe warning light.
(a) If warning light illuminates, switch is operat­
ing correctly. (b) If light fails to illuminate, check circuit fuse,
bulb and wiring. Repair as necessary and repeat test steps (3) and (4). (5) If warning light still fails to illuminate, check
brakelight and park brake switches (and wiring) with test lamp. Repair or replace parts as necessary and test differential pressure switch operation again.
(6) If warning light still does not illuminate,
switch is faulty. Replace combination valve, bleed
brakes and verify proper switch and valve operation.

COMBINATION VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
VALVE REMOVAL (1) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(2) Mark or tag brake lines connected to valve for
assembly reference.
(3) Disconnect lines at valve (Fig. 8).
(4) Disconnect wires from differential pressure
switch.
(5) Remove bolts attaching valve to frame bracket
and remove valve.
VALVE INSTALLATION (1) Mount new valve on bracket and tighten valve
and bracket screws/nuts securely.
(2) Connect brakelines to valve. Tighten fittings to
16 N*m (145 in. lbs.)
(3) Connect wires to pressure differential switch
terminal. (4) Bleed brakes.
(5) Lower vehicle and verify proper brake opera­
tion.

BRAKE
LINES AND
HOSES

BRAKE LINE AND HOSE INSPECTION Flexible rubber hose is used at both front brakes
and at the rear axle junction block. Inspect the hoses
whenever the brake system is serviced, at every en­ gine oil change, or whenever the vehicle is in for ser­

vice.

Inspect the hoses for surface cracking, scuffing, or
worn spots. Replace any brake hose immediately if
the fabric casing of the hose is exposed by cracks or abrasion.
Also check brake hose installation. Faulty installa­
tion can result in kinked, twisted hoses, or contact with the wheels and tires or other chassis compo­
nents.
All of these conditions can lead to scuffing,
cracking and eventual failure.
The steel brake lines should be inspected periodi­
cally for evidence of corrosion, twists, kinks, leaks, or
other damage. Heavily corroded lines will eventually
rust through causing leaks. In any case, corroded or damaged brake lines should be replaced.

IGNITION
OFF
DRAW
(IOD)
Ignition off draw refers to power being drained
from the battery with the ignition turned off. A nor­
mal vehicle electrical system will draw from 5 to 20
milliamps. A vehicle that has not been operated for
an extended period of time (approximately 20 days)
may discharge the battery to an inadequate level.
Battery drain should not exceed approximately 20
MA (20 milliamps = 0.020 amps). The 20 MA are needed to supply PCM memory,
digital clock memory, and ETR (electronically tuned
radio) memory. Excessive battery drain is caused by items left
turned on, internally shorted generator, or intermit­
tent short in wiring.
If the IOD is excessive (over 20 milliamperes), the
defect must be found and corrected before replacing a
battery. In most cases the battery can be charged and returned to service.
TEST PROCEDURE Testing for higher amperage IOD must be per­
formed first to prevent damage to most milliamp
meters.
Verify that all electrical accessories are OFF. Turn
off all lights, remove ignition key, and close all

doors.
If the vehicle is equipped with electronic acces­
sories (illuminated entry, high line radio), allow the
systems to automatically shut off (time out), up to 3
minutes.
(1) After determining that the underhood lamp is
operating properly then disconnect bulb. (2) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(3) Connect a typical 12 volt test light (low watt­
age bulb) between the negative cable clamp and the
battery negative terminal. The test light may light brightly for up to 3 min­
utes or may not light at all (depending on the elec­
trical equipment). The term brightly being used
throughout the following tests, implies the bright­ ness of the test light will be the same as if it were
connected across the battery.
The test light must be securely clamped to the neg­
ative cable and battery terminal. If the test light be­
comes disconnected during any of the IOD test, the electronic timer function will be activated and all
tests must be repeated.
(4) After 3 minutes, the test light should turn OFF
or be DIMLY lit (depending on the electrical equip­

ment).
If the test light remains brightly lit do not
disconnect it. Remove each fuse or circuit breaker (refer to Group 8 - Wiring Diagrams) until test light
is either OFF or DIMLY lit. This will eliminate the
higher amperage draw.
If test light is still bright after disconnecting each
fuse and circuit breaker, disconnect the wiring har­ ness from the generator. Refer to Generator Testing
in this group. Do not disconnect the test light. After higher amperage IOD has been corrected, low
amperage IOD may be checked.
It is now safe to install milliamp meter to check for
low amperage IOD.
(5) With test light still connected, securely clamp
an ammeter between battery negative terminal and
negative battery cable.
If the test light or the milliamp meter circuit is
broken the various timer circuits will start. Do
not open any doors or turn on any electrical ac­ cessories with the test light disconnected or the
meter may be damaged.
(6) Disconnect test light. The current draw should
not exceed 0.020 amp. If it exceeds 20 milliamps iso­
late each circuit by removing circuit breakers and

fuses.
The meter reading drops once the high current
problem is found. Repair this section of the circuit,
whether it is a wiring short or component failure.

BATTERY
OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE TEST
A battery voltage (no load) test will indicate the
state of charge of a battery that will pass the Battery
Load Test described in this section. Before proceed­
ing with this test or the Battery Load Test the
battery must be completely charged as de­ scribed in Battery Charging in this section. If a battery has a no load voltage reading of 12.4
volts or greater but will not endure a load test, it is
defective and should be replaced. Refer to Group 8B,
Battery/Starter Service for instructions. To test bat­
tery no load voltage, perform the following operation: (1) Before measuring open circuit voltage, the sur­
face charge must be removed from plates. Turn head lights on for 15 seconds then allow up to 5 minutes
for voltage to stabilize. (2) Remove both battery cables, negative first.
(3) Using a voltmeter connected to the battery

posts,
see instructions provided with voltmeter, mea­ sure open circuit voltage (Fig. 6). This voltage reading will indicate state of charge,
but will not reveal cranking capacity. Refer to Bat­
tery Open Circuit Voltage chart.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
The generator
is
belt-driven
by the
engine.
All en­

gines
use
serpentine drive. The amount
of DC
current produced
by the
gener­
ator
is
controlled
by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
All vehicles
are
equipped with
On
Board Diagnos­
tics (OBD).
All OBD
sensing systems
are
monitored
by
the PCM. The PCM
will store
in
electronic mem­ ory
any
detectable failure within
the
monitored cir­

cuits.
Refer
to
USING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
in
this group
for
more information.

OPERATIONAL CHECK
WITH
VOLTMETER
When
the
ignition switch
is
turned
to the RUN po­

sition, battery potential will register
on the
voltme­
ter. During engine cranking
a
lower voltage will appear
on the
meter. With
the
engine running,
a

voltage reading higher than
the
first reading (igni­
tion
in RUN)
should register.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
If
the
indicator does
not
operate properly,
or if an

undercharged
or
overcharged battery condition
oc­

curs,
the
following procedures
may be
used
to
diag­
nose
the
charging system. Remember that
an
undercharged battery
is
often
caused
by:
• accessories being left
on
overnight
•
or by a
defective switch which allows
a
bulb, such
as a
trunk
or
glove
box

light,
to
stay
on
(refer
to
Ignition
Off
Draw).
WISUAL
INSPECTION

• Inspect condition
of
battery cable terminals, bat­
tery posts, connections
at
engine block, starter motor solenoid
and
relay. They should
be
clean
and
tight.
Repair
as
required.
• Inspect
all
fuses
in the
fuse block
for
tightness
in

receptacles. They should
be
properly installed
and

tight. Repair
or
replace
as
required.
• Inspect generator mounting bolts
for
tightness.
Re­

place
or
torque bolt
as
required (refer

DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM
OPERATION
OF
ON-BOARD
DIAGNOSTIC

SYSTEM

The Powertrain Control Module monitors critical
input and output circuits of the charging system
making sure they are okay. Some are checked contin­
uously and some are only checked under certain con­
ditions.
If the OBD system senses that one of the critical
circuits is bad, it will consider this a real problem
and put a DTC into memory. Each input and output
circuit monitored by the OBD system has its own

DTC.
The DTC will stay in memory as long as the
circuit continues to be bad. If the problem does not
occur again after the code is put into memory, the
Powertrain Control Module will clear the memory af­
ter 50 to 100 engine starts.
