. Check for oil leakage and vehicle sag.
that
has a damaged integral lower mounting bushing.
0 Oil Leak
Leakage is the condition in which the entire damper body is covered with oil and from where
it will drip on to
the pavement. Due to correct damper lubrication a light film of oil (weepage) can usually be seen on the upper
portion of the damper.
Should there be any leakage, ensure that the fluid does not originate from sources other than the front damper.
Renew worn or damaged dampers.
0 Vehicle Sag
Renewing front dampers will not correct the problem of vehicle sag, as basically this is controlled by the spring
units.

12.1 ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ASS), GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) components are combined with a hydraulic booster and tandem master cylinder (TMC) to provide a two-circuit braking system. The anti-lock braking system comprises the following components:
0 Four inductive wheel speed sensors, hub end mounted
0 ABS warning light
0 Hydraulic module.
The hydraulic module consists of an electric motor driven pump,
two low pressure accumulators, valve block and an
ABS electronic control module.
m: Electronic control modules for vehicles without traction control are designated ABS CM. Control modules for
vehicles with traction control are designated ABS /TC CM.
The valve block houses solenoid operated valves which are activated by voltage signals from the control module. The
signals are generated using wheel speed information received from the wheel speed sensors.
For vehicles without traction control the valves operate on three circuits, two front and one rear, as necessary to pre
- vent wheel locking during braking. Brake pressure is modulated individually at thefront wheels and collectively at the
rear. Rear wheel control operates on a 'select low' principle i.e. locking in either wheel is sensed, and controlled brake
pressure is applied to both wheels.
For vehicles with traction control the valves operate on four circuits. During ABS control the rear wheel are controlled
on a 'select low' principle (as above), but during traction control operation the rear wheels are controlled individually.

1yQfB: Functional and diagnostic information for the ABS CM and the ABS/TC CM is contained in the Electrical Diag-
nostic Manual (EDM), Section 12.
ABS Warning lamp / Traction Control Warning lamp /Fluid level Indicator
The ABS and traction control warning lamps, mounted in the instrument panel, indicate a fault in the ABS or traction
control. These systems are inhibited or disabled when the lamps are lit, although conventional braking is unaffected.
When the ignition is switched on, an ABS self test is initiated. During this test, the ABS and traction control warning
lamps are
lit for approximately 1.7 seconds and then extinguish. A fault is indicated if the warning lamps remain lit or
come on whilst the vehicle is being driven.
W: The ABS self test is masked by the 5 second lamp test initiated when the ignition is switched on.
The fluid level indicator lamp, mounted in the instrument panel, is
lit when the brake fluid falls below the minimum
mark on the brake fluid reservoir.
ABS / Traction Control - Inhibit / Disable
Faults conditions are detected by the ABS/TC CM which disables the ABS and traction control until the fault is rectified.
The ABS and traction control warning lights on the instrument pack remains lit whilst a fault exists. The system will
be disabled when the following conditions occur:
0
0 Valve failure
0 Sensor failure
0 Main driver failure (internal ABS /TC CM fault)
0 Redundancy error (internal ABS JTC CM fault)
0 Overvoltage J undervoltage
0 Pump motor failure.
0 Throttle valve actuator motor failure (traction control vehicles only).
0 Throttle valve actuator potentiometer failure (traction control warning light only).

12.1.2. Anti-lock Braking / Traction Control Operation
The rear wheels are controlled collectively on a 'select-low' principle during ABS operation. During traction control,
separate circuits allow individual control of the rear wheels. To facilitate this the valve block has four outlet ports.
The
ABS/TC CM is integrated with the valve block. The pump, motor, valve block and control module are supplied as
a unit and are non-sewiceable. Faulty units must be renewed as a whole.
Both front and rear brakes on
all vehicles are fitted with single piston caliper assemblies. Ventilated brake rotors, with
provision for parking brake shoes at the rear, are fitted all round.

Fig. 1 ABS / Traction Control System
The vacuum booster (see Fig.
1) is mounted on the brake pedal box and secured by three bolts. Brake pedal force is
increased by the vacuum booster which activates the Tandem Master Cylinder (TMC) intermediate piston. Brake fluid
is supplied to the pump inlet ports on two separate circuits. The primary circuit supplies the front brakes whilst the
secondary circuit supplies the rear brakes.

Pressure conscious reduction valves (PCRVs) are fitted between the outlet of the valve block and the rear brake circuit
to optimize. The valves are fitted to prevent over braking due to the increased size of the rear brake calipers which are
required for traction control. Up to a threshold of 15 bar, brake pressure to the front and rear brakes is equal. Above
15 bar the PCRVs reduce pressure to the rear brakes to provide a closer balance between front and rear brakes and
optimize road adhesion.
Wheel speed sensors are fitted to all wheels to transmit wheel speed information to the control module. The module
uses this information to modulate brake pressure during anti
-lock braking or traction control.

Fig. 1 Brake System (non-Traction Control)
The rear brakes (see Fig. 1) are controlled collectively on a
'select-low' principle. Under ABS braking conditions, equal
brake pressure is applied to both rear calipers, although only one wheel may have a tendency to lock.
The valve block has three outlet
ports, Brake fluid volume is supplied equally to the rear brakes via the %way brake
pipe connector.

The caliper (1 Fig. 1) is mounted on the carrier (2 Fig.1) by
means of two guiding pins (3 Fig. 1) and a caliper retaining
clip (5 Fig. ILTheguiding pins(3Fig. 1)slidein bushes(4 Fig. 1) fitted to the caliper.
The guiding pins are fitted with dust caps which must be
fitted when reassembling the caliper.
Inspection and Cleaning
WAR- BRAKE LINING DUST CAN, IF INHALED, DAM-
AGE YOUR HEALTH. ALWAYS USE A VACUUM
BRUSH TO REMOVE DRY BRAKE LINING DUST.
NEVER USE AN AIR LINE.
When fitting new brake pads always take necessary precau- tions and remove the brake dust from around the caliper
area. After renewal, pump the brake pedal several times to
centralize the new brake pads.
W: If both front and rear calipers have been removed
from the vehicle, take care not to mix up left and
right hand caliper bodies. I Fig. 1
Remove
all brake dust from the caliper, carrier and brake rotor. Thoroughly clean the pad abutment areas, avoid dam- aging the piston and dust cover.
CAUTION: When cleaning brake components only use a proprietary fluid. Never use petrol. Use of petrol, paraffin
or other mineral based fluids can prove dangerous.
Examine all the components for signs of wear, damage and corrosion. Pay particular attention to the piston and piston
bore.
Remove caliper body corrosion with a wire brush or wire wool.
No attempt should be made to clean a badly corroded
or scored piston bore. The caliper must be renewed
CAUTIW: No attempt should be made to clean corroded bolts.
Inspect the caliper guide pins, ensure that they are not corroded or seized and that the caliper moves freely. If they are
difficult to remove or corroded in any way, they must be replaced together with new dust covers.
CAUTION: Ensure that working surfaces and hands are clean. Use only brake fluid of the correct specification to lubri- cate the new seals when fitting.
When reassembling always renew piston seals. Lubricate the new piston seal and fit carefully to the inner groove of the piston bore.

Brakes
Parking Brake Adjusfmenf
Cable slack must be removed by adjustment of the intermediate cable length. The handbrake should be fully on be-
tween three and five clicks.
Parking Brake Shoe Assembly
The parking brakes are of the duo-sewo type. The expander
assembly (6 Fig. 1) is mounted on the backplate mounting
lug. The brake shoes locate on the expander assembly and
the adjuster
(1 Fig. I).These are held in position by the upper
and lower return springs (4 and 5 Fig. 1) and the hold down
springs (2 Fig. 1). The adjuster allows manual adjustment of
the brake shoes.
To remove the brake shoe assemblies the handbrake must
be released and the adjuster slackened.
The use of
a spring removal tool is recommended when re- moving the brake shoes. Strong pliers may be used, but
there is a risk of both personal injury and loss of compo- nents, should the pliers slip.
lnspedion and Cleaning
Clean and examine all components for wear or damage, re- newing parts as necessary. Fig.
1
When
reassembling the expander assembly, liberally grease the components using a proprietary mechanical brake
grease. Lightly grease the threads of the adjuster.
CAUTION: Do not get grease onto the lining material. Light surfacecontamination can be removed with emery cloth,
but heavy penetration of grease or fluid will render the material unsuitable for further use and the linings
must be renewed.
Re-assembly
When reassembling the brake shoes, lightly grease the shoe tips and back plate contact area. The brake shoes and
the expander assembly should befitted to the backplate with the lower return spring in position. When the brake shoes
are located, the adjuster, upper return spring and hold down springs should then be fitted. The brake shoes should
be adjusted
so that the brake rotorhub can just be fitted. Final adjustment should allow the brake rotor/hub to rotate
without excessive drag. Light running contact is permissible.
