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.

12.1.8. Wheel Speed Sensors
A toothed wheel, which turns with the road wheel, induces an ac voltage signal in the wheel speed sensor. The fre-
quency and amplitude of the ac voltage varies directly in relation to wheel speed, providing the control module with
wheel speed information. Wheel speed sensors are fitted to each road wheel.
Front
The front sensors are mounted on the vertical link (1 Fig. 1).

The rear wheel sensors are mounted on the hub carrier (Fig.

The TMC primary circuit (item 1) applies brake pressure to the front brakes. Individual control of the front wheels is
provided by solenoid valves, Valves (items
15 and 18) control the front left brake circuit (item 21). Valves (items 16and 19) control the front right brake circuit (item 22). The TMC secondary circuit (item 2) applies brake pressure to the rear
brake circuit (item 20) via valves (items 14 and 17), on a 'select low' principle.

Should the ABS be initiated by a locking tendency of any wheel during braking, the pump unit (item 8) is started and
the appropriate NO inlet valve (item 14, 15 or 16) closes in response to signals from the control module. This action
prevents further increase of brake pressure by blocking the supply of brake fluid from the TMC (item 3). If excessive
deceleration continues, the appropriate NC outlet valves (item 17,18 or 19) opens, releasing brake pressure to the low
pressure accumulators (item 9) until the wheel accelerates again.
Issue 1 August 1994 12 X300 VSM

From the low pressure accumulators,volume is pumped back into theTMC, forcing the brake pedal back. To optimize the friction coefficient between tire and road, brake pressure is increased in small steps by closing the outlet valve and
opening the inlet valve and re-charging brake pressure.
During the pressure build
up phase, the volume required for replenishment is supplied by the TMC and additionally
by the pump from the low pressure accumulators. Since the delivered flow is generally greater than volume flow
drained from the brake circuits, the low pressure accumulators serve as intermediate accumulators to compensate for
temporary volume flow peaks.
The TMC piston positions, and therefore the brake pedal, vary with the fluid displacement in the brake caliper. As con
-
trolled pressure in the brake caliper decreases and increases during ABS, the brake pedal 'cycles', informing the driver
that controlled braking is in progress.
Actuation of the brake pedal, causes the central valve (item
5) in the TMC to close. This action prevents damage to the
TMC piston seals.
At the end of a brake application, volume is restored to the TMC, at
low pressure from the fluid reservoir (item 6).

12.1.1 0 Hydrauric Operation - ABS 1 TC CM
ABS/TC CM hydraulic modules incorporate inlet valves (items 16 and 17) and outlet valves (items 20 and 21) for each
driven wheel. This enables individual pressure modulation to the rear brakes under wheel spin conditions, i.e. traction
control.
Increased wheel spin of
a driven wheel under acceleration causes the NO isolation valve (item 14) to be closed and the
pump (item 10) to be switched on. This in response to signals from the control module.
Closing of the isolation valve blocks delivery of the pump to the secondary circuit (item
2) of the TMC. The pump now
draws fluid from the reservoir via the open hydraulically operated inlet valve (item 13). Increased pressure is now avail-
able at the inlet valves (items 16 and 17) for actuating the rear brakes, thus decreasing the tendency of wheel spin.
The hydraulic inlet valve (item
13) switches when traction control is initiated to change the suction connection
of the pump from the accumulators (item 9) to the fluid reservoir (item 6) via the TMC.

Brakes
The pressure at the inlet valves corresponds to the opening pressure of the relief valve (item 15) incorporated in the
isolation valve. Excess brake fluid is drained to the suction side of the pump via the relief valve and returns either to
the TMC secondary circuit and on to the
fluid reservoir, or is directly drawn on by the pump.
As soon as the spinning wheel has been braked down into the normal range of wheel spin, the NO valves (items
16 or 17) close to prevent any further increase in brake pressure. Depending upon the acceleration of the wheel, the NC
valve (item
20 or 21) may open to decrease thesecondary circuit brake pressure. NCvalves (item 17 or 18) may remain
closed in orderto achieve a brake pressure holding phase. If the pressure in the secondarycircuit needs to be increased
again, the NC valve closes again (if open) and the NO valve opens, diverting the necessary volume flow. This control
action, keeps the wheel in the range of optimum slip until the spinning tendency ceases.
The NO isolation valve
(14) remains closed throughout the traction control cycle.
An actuation of the brake, sensed by the control module, causes the traction control mode to be terminated and the
isolation valve (item
14) to be opened. The TMC pressure simultaneously closes the hydraulic inlet valve (item 13) so that the pump can no longer draw fluid from it. The ABS / TC CM now operates in normal ABS mode.
m: When traction control is initiated, speed control is deactivated (if in operation) and requires re-setting after
the traction control mode has terminated. Gear shift is inhibited on automatic transmission vehicles; no down- shifts are allowed and upshifts occur at 4800 RPM.
