0 12.1.6 Calipers
Both front and rear brakes on all vehicles are fitted with
single piston caliper assemblies that act upon 28mm thick
ventilated brake rotors (front brakes) and 20mm thickventi- lated brake rotors/hubs (rear brakes). Rear ventilated brake rotordhubs are fitted to cope with the increased demands- brought about by traction control.
The brake rotors must be renewed
whenthe minimumthick- ness specified below is reached:
0 Front brake rotor - 27mm
0 Rear brake rotor - 18.5mm.
On the front brakes (Fig. 1) two bolts secure the caliper
carrier to the suspension vertical link.
On the rear brakes (Fig. 2) two bolts (wire locked) secure the
caliper carrier to the hub carrier.

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.

1 Parking Brake Layout
All vehicles are fitted with identical parking brake systems.
When the parking brake lever
is operated, the cable system applies equal force to both RH and LH brakeshoe expander
assemblies. The brake shoes expand and press against the hub assembly, locking the rear wheels.
The handbrake lever, ratchet assembly and warning
light switch (item 1) are mounted on the transmission tunnel by means of threeflanged screws a blanking plate and gasket. The front cable (item 2) is connected to the relay lever (item 3) which is mounted on the driveshaft securing bracket (item 4). The relay lever operates the intermediate cable (item 5) which incorporates an adjusting screw to allow cable tension to be adjusted. The intermediate cable operates the
equalizer which ensures that equal force is applied to RH and LH parking brakesvia rearcable RH (item 8) and rear cable
LH (item 9). The rear cables are adjustable to allow cable tension to be adjusted.
The park brake switch (item 10) latches when the lever
is operated and lights the parking brake warning light (item 11 mounted in the instrument panel.

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.

The front sensors are mounted on the vertical link (1 Fig. 1).

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.
