MASTER CYLINDER/POWER BRAKE BOOSTER
A 25 mm bore master cylinder and 205 mm (8.07
in.) dual diaphragm power brake booster are used for
all ABS applications (Fig. 2).
The master cylinder has a removable plastic reser-
voir which is the only serviceable component. The
cylinder body and pistons are not repairable and are
serviced as an assembly. The check valve and grom-
met are the only serviceable parts on the booster.
The booster itself is only serviced as an assembly.
COMBINATION VALVE
A combination valve is used with the ABS system
(Fig. 2). The valve contains a front/rear brake pres-
sure differential switch and rear brake proportioning
valve. The combination valve is connected between
the master cylinder and HCU.
The pressure differential switch is connected to the
red brake warning light. The switch is actuated by
movement of the switch valve. The switch monitors
fluid pressure in the separate front/rear brake hy-
draulic 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 the pressure dif-
ferential. Movement of the switch valve will push the
switch plunger upward. This closes the switch inter-
nal contacts completing the electrical circuit to the
red warning light. The switch valve remains in an
actuated position until the fault is repaired.
The rear proportioning valve is used to balance front-
rear brake action.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)
A separate electronic control unit (ECU) operates
the ABS system (Fig. 3). The ECU is separate from
other vehicle electrical circuits. ECU voltage source
is through the ignition switch in the Run position.The ECU is located under the instrument panel in
the passenger compartment. On YJ models, it is just
above the heater plenum in line with the glove box.
In left hand drive XJ models, it at the right side of
the steering column. In right hand drive models, it is
near the cowl panel
The ECU contains dual microprocessors. A logic
block in each microprocessor receives identical sensor
signals. These signals are processed and compared si-
multaneously.
The ECU contains a self check program that illu-
minates the ABS warning light when a system fault
is detected. Faults are stored in a diagnostic program
memory and are accessible with the DRB scan tool.
ABS faults remain in memory until cleared, or un-
til after the vehicle is started approximately 50
times. Stored faults arenoterased if the battery is
disconnected.
WHEEL SPEED SENSORS
A speed sensor is used at each wheel. The sensors
convert wheel speed into an electrical signal. This
signal is transmitted to the antilock ECU.
A gear type tone ring serves as the trigger mecha-
nism for each sensor. The tone rings are mounted at
the outboard ends of the front and rear axle shafts.
Different sensors are used at the front and rear
wheels (Fig. 4). The front/rear sensors have the same
electrical values but are not interchangeable.

5 - 34 ABS OPERATION AND SERVICEJ

ABS DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR
The ABS diagnostic connector is inside the vehicle.
The connector is the access point for the DRB scan
tool.
On XJ models, the connector is located under the
instrument panel to the right of the steering column.
On some models, the connecter may be tucked under
the carpeting on the transmission tunnel. The con-
necter is a black, 6-way type.
On YJ models, the connector is under the instru-
ment panel by the the driver side kick panel. The
connecter is a black, 6 or 8-way type.
The DRB scan tool kit contains adapter cords for
both types of connecter. Use the appropriate cord for
test hookup.
ACCELERATION SWITCH
An acceleration switch (Fig. 5), provides an addi-
tional vehicle deceleration reference during 4-wheel
drive operation. The switch is monitored by the an-
tilock ECU at all times. The switch reference signal
is utilized by the ECU when all wheels are deceler-
ating at the same speed.
SYSTEM RELAYS
The ABS system has two relays, which are the
main and motor pump relays. The motor pump relay
is used for the motor pump only. The main relay is
used for the solenoid valves and ECU. The main re-
lay is connected to the ECU at the power control re-
lay terminal. The pump motor relay starts/stops the
pump motor when signaled by the ECU.
IGNITION SWITCH
The antilock ECU and warning light are in standby
mode with the ignition switch in Off or Accessory po-
sition. No operating voltage is supplied to the system
components.A 12 volt power feed is supplied to the ECU and
warning light when the ignition switch is in the Run
position.
SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT
The amber ABS warning light is in circuit with the
ECU and operates independently of the red brake
warning light.
The ABS light indicates antilock system condition.
The light illuminates (flashes) at start-up for the self
check. The light goes out when the self check pro-
gram determines system operation is normal.
ABS SYSTEM POWER-UP AND INITIALIZATION
battery voltage is supplied to the ECU ignition ter-
minal when the ignition switch is turned to Run po-
sition. The ECU performs a system initialization
procedure at this point. Initialization consists of a
static and dynamic self check of system electrical
components.
The static check occurs after the ignition switch is
turned to Run position. The dynamic check occurs
when vehicle road speed reaches approximately 10
kph (6 mph). During the dynamic check, the ECU
briefly cycles the pump and solenoids to verify oper-
ation.
If an ABS component exhibits a fault during initial-
ization, the ECU illuminates the amber warning
light and registers a fault code in the microprocessor
memory.
ABS OPERATION IN NORMAL BRAKING MODE
The ECU monitors wheel speed sensor inputs con-
tinuously while the vehicle is in motion. However,
the ECU will not activate any ABS components as
long as sensor inputs and the acceleration switch in-
dicate normal braking.

FLYWHEEL SERVICE
Inspect the flywheel whenever the clutch disc,
cover and housing are removed for service. Check
condition of the flywheel face, hub, ring gear teeth,
and flywheel bolts.
Minor scratches, burrs, or glazing on the flywheel
face can be reduced with 180 grit emery cloth. How-
ever, the flywheel should be replaced if the disc con-
tact surface is severely scored, heat checked, cracked,
or obviously worn.
Flywheel machining is not recommended. The fly-
wheel surface is manufactured with a unique contour
that would be negated by machining. However,
cleanup of minor flywheel scoring can be performed
by hand with 180 grit emery, or with surface grind-
ing equipment. Replace the flywheel if scoring is
deeper than 0.0762 mm (0.003 in.).
Heavy stock removal by grinding isnot recom-
mended.Excessive stock removal can result in fly-
wheel cracking or warpage after installation. It can
also weaken the flywheel and interfere with proper
clutch release.
Check flywheel runout if misalignment is sus-
pected. Runout should not exceed 0.08 mm (0.003
in.). Measure runout at the outer edge of the fly-
wheel face with a dial indicator. Mount the dial indi-
cator on a stud installed in place of one of the
flywheel attaching bolts.
Clean the crankshaft flange before mounting the
flywheel. Dirt and grease on the flange surface may
cock the flywheel causing excessive runout.
Check condition of the flywheel hub and attaching
bolts. Replace the flywheel if the hub exhibits cracks
in the area of the attaching bolt holes.
Install new attaching bolts whenever the flywheelis replaced and use Mopar Lock N' Seal, or Loctite
242 on the replacement bolt threads.
Recommended flywheel bolt torques are:
²142 Nzm (105 ft. lbs.) for 6-cylinder flywheels
²68 Nzm (50 ft. lbs.) plus an additional turn of 60É
for 4-cylinder flywheels
Inspect the teeth on the starter ring gear.If the
teeth are worn or damaged, the flywheel should
be replaced as an assembly. This is the recom-
mended and preferred method of repair.
In cases where a new flywheel is not readily avail-
able, a replacement ring gear can be installed. How-
ever, the following precautions must be observed to
avoid damaging the flywheel and replacement gear.
(a) Mark position of the old gear for alignment
reference on the flywheel. Use a scriber for this
purpose.
(b) Wear protective goggles or approved safety
glasses. Also wear heat resistent gloves when han-
dling a heated ring gear.
(c) Remove the old gear by cutting most of the
way through it (at one point) with an abrasive cut-
off wheel. Then complete removal with a cold chisel
or punch.
(d) The ring gear is a shrink fit on the flywheel.
This means the gear must be expanded by heating
in order to install it.The method of heating and
expanding the gear is extremely important.
Every surface of the gear must be heated at the
same time to produce uniform expansion. An oven
or similar enclosed heating device must be used.
Temperature required for uniform expansion is ap-
proximately 375É F.
CAUTION: Do not use an oxy/acetylene torch to re-
move the old gear, or to heat and expand a new
gear. The high temperature of the torch flame can
cause localized heating that will damage the fly-
wheel. In addition, using the torch to heat a replace-
ment gear will cause uneven heating and
expansion. The torch flame can also anneal the
gear teeth resulting in rapid wear and damage after
installation.
(e) The heated gear must be installed evenly to
avoid misalignment or distortion. A shop press and
suitable press plates should be used to install the
gear if at all possible.
(f) Be sure to wear eye and hand protection.
Heat resistent gloves and safety goggles are needed
for personal safety. Also use metal tongs, vise grips,
or similar tools to position the gear as necessary
for installation.
(g) Allow the flywheel and ring gear to cool down
before installation. Set the assembly on a work-
bench and let it cool in normal shop air.
