GENERAL INFORMATION
Three fuses supply power for the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS); fuses 6 and 10 in the Power Distribu-
tion Center (PDC) and fuse 2 in the fuse block. Fuses
6 and 10 in the PDC are connected directly to battery
voltage and are HOT all times. Fuse 2 in the fuse
block is HOT when the ignition switch is the RUN
Position.
In the RUN position, the ignition switch connects
circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the PDC with circuit A38.
Circuit A38 connects to a bus bar in the fuse block.
The bus bar feeds circuit B236 through fuse 2. Fuse
2 is a 2 amp fuse.
Circuit B236 connects to the coil side of the ABS
power relay and cavity 53 of the ABS control module.
Circuit Z1 provides ground for the ABS control
module. Circuit Z1 connects to cavities 1 and 19 of
the ABS control module.
Refer to group 5, Brakes for operational descrip-
tions of ABS system components.
WHEEL SPEED SENSORS
The all wheel anti-lock system uses four wheel
speed sensors; one for each wheel. Each sensor con-
verts wheel speed into an electrical signal that it
transmits to the ABS control module. A pair of
twisted wires connect to each sensor to provide sig-
nals to the ABS control module.
Circuits B6 and B7 provide signals to ABS control
module from the right front wheel speed sensor. Cir-
cuit B6 which provides the LOW signal connects to
cavity 29 of the ABS control module. Circuit B7 con-
nects to cavity 47 of the module and provides the
HIGH signal.
Circuits B8 and B9 provide signals to ABS control
module from the left front wheel speed sensor. Cir-
cuit B8, which provides the LOW signal, connects to
cavity 30 of the ABS control module. Circuit B9 con-
nects to cavity 48 of the module and provides the
HIGH signal.
Circuits B1 and B2 provide signals to ABS control
module from the right rear wheel speed sensor. Cir-
cuit B1 which provides the LOW signal connects tocavity 45 of the ABS control module. Circuit B2 con-
nects to cavity 27 of the module and provides the

switch provides deceleration data to the ABS control
module. Refer to Group 5, Brakes for additional in-
formation.
Circuits B515, B516, and B517 connect the acceler-
ation sensor to the ABS control module. Circuits
B515 and B516 provide switch states while circuit
B517 provides ground. At the ABS control module cir-
cuit B515 connects to cavity 25, circuit B516 connects
to cavity 43 and circuit B517 connects to cavity 26.
ABS POWER RELAY
The ABS power relay is located in the power distri-
bution center (PDC). When the ABS module grounds
the ABS power relay on circuit B207, the relay
switches to connect circuit A20 from PDC fuse 10 to
circuit B235. Circuit B236 from fuse 7 in the fuse
block splices to feed the coil side of the ABS power
relay. Circuit B207 connects to cavity 34 of the ABS
control module.
Circuit B235 is double crimped at the ABS power
relay. One branch of circuit B235 supplies power to
the coil side of the ABS pump motor relay. The other
branch of circuit B235 splices to cavities 3 and 33 of
the ABS control module and to the hydraulic control
unit.
ABS PUMP MOTOR RELAY
The ABS pump motor relay in the power distribu-
tion center (PDC) supplies voltage to the ABS pump
motor. When the ABS power relay energizes, circuit
B235 supplies battery voltage to the coil side of the
J8W-32 ANTI-LOCK BRAKESÐXJ-RHD 8W - 32 - 1
ABS pump motor relay. The ABS control module pro-
vides ground for the relay on circuit B116. Circuit
B116 connects to cavity 15 of the ABS control mod-
ule.
When the ABS pump motor energizes, it connects
circuit A10 from PDC fuse 8 to circuit B233. Circuit
B233 supplies battery voltage to the pump motor.
Circuit Z12 provides ground for the pump motor.
PUMP MOTOR SPEED SENSOR
The input from the pump motor speed sensor tells
the ABS control module that the pump is operating.
Circuits B219 and B220 from the control module con-
nect to the speed sensor.
BRAKE SWITCH INPUT
Circuit L50 from the stop lamp provides the brake
switch input to the ABS control module. When the
brake pedal is depressed, the stop lamp switch closes
to supply battery voltage from circuit L9 to circuit
L50. Circuit L50 connects to cavity 32 of the ABS
control module. Circuit L9 originates at fuse 4 in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC).
HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT
When the ABS power relay energizes, two branches
of circuit B235 splice to supply voltage to the isola-
tion and decay solenoids in the hydraulic control
unit. The hydraulic control unit contains three sepa-
rate isolation solenoids and three separate dump so-
lenoids. The ABS control module activates the decay
and isolation solenoids by providing separate ground
paths for each.
The ABS module provides a ground path for the
rear isolation solenoid on circuit B251. Circuit B251
connects to cavity 54 of the ABS control module.
For the right front isolation solenoid, the ABS mod-
ule provides a ground path on circuit B249. Circuit
B249 connects to cavity 38 of the ABS control mod-
ule.
On circuit B245, the ABS control module provides
ground for the left front isolation solenoid. Circuit
B245 connects to cavity 20 of the ABS control mod-
ule.
The ABS control module provides a ground path for
the rear dump solenoid on circuit B254. Circuit B254
connects to cavity 36 of the ABS control module.For the right front dump solenoid, the ABS module
provides a ground path on circuit B248. Circuit B248
connects to cavity 21 of the ABS control module.
On circuit B243, the ABS module provides ground
for the left dump solenoid. Circuit B243 connects to
cavity 2 of the ABS control module.
ABS WARNING LAMP
Circuit F87 provides power for the ABS warning
lamp at the instrument cluster. Ground for the ABS
warning lamp is provided by either the ABS control
module or by the ABS power relay when the relay is
not energized. The ABS control module illuminates
the lamp by providing ground on circuit B205.
Circuit B205 splices to connect to circuit B235
through a diode. When the ABS power relay is not
energized, it connects circuit B235 to circuit Z12. The
ground path for the warning lamp is through the di-
ode to circuit B235, through the ABS power relay to
ground on circuit Z12.
The diode between circuit B205 and B235 prevents
voltage from flowing to the ABS control module when
the ABS power relay switches to supply power on cir-
cuit B235.
DATA LINK CONNECTOR
Circuit D1 from cavity 23 of the ABS control mod-
ule receives data from the DRB scan tool through the
data link connector. The ABS control module trans-
mits data to the scan tool through the connector on
circuit D2. Circuit D2 originates at cavity 42 of the
ABS control module.
Through the data link connector, circuit Z12 pro-
vides ground for the DRB scan tool. Circuit Z12 ter-
minates at the right rear of the engine.
Circuit A4 from fuse 7 in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) supplies power to fuse 13 in the PDC.
Fuse 13 powers circuit F39 which supplies battery
voltage to the scan tool through the diagnostic con-
nector.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check fuses 7 and 13 in the PDC.
²If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic trans-
mission, circuits D1 and D2 are double crimped at
the data link connector and connect to the Power-
train Control Module (PCM).

HOW TO USE THIS GROUP
The purpose of this group is to show the electrical
circuits in a clear, simple fashion and to make trou-
bleshooting easier. Components that work together
are shown together. All electrical components used in
a specific system are shown on one diagram. The feed
for a system is shown at the top of the page. All
wires, connectors, splices, and components are shown
in the flow of current to the bottom of the page. Wir-
ing which is not part of the circuit represented is ref-
erenced to another page/section, where the complete
circuit is shown. In addition, all switches, compo-
nents, and modules are shown in theat rest posi-
tion with the doors closed and the key removed
from the ignition.
If a component is part of several different circuits,
it is shown in the diagram for each. For example, the
headlamp switch is the main part of the exterior
lighting, but it also affects the interior lighting and
the chime warning system.
It is important to realize that no attempt is
made on the diagrams to represent components
and wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For
example, a short piece of wire is treated the
same as a long one. In addition, switches and
other components are shown as simply as pos-
sible, with regard to function only.
The wiring diagram show circuits for all wheel-
bases. If there is a difference in systems or compo-
nents between wheel-bases, an identifier is placed
next to the component.

regulation. Use 100 psi Test Gauge C-3292 for
this test.
(1) Connect test gauge to line pressure port (Fig.
4).
(2) Start and run engine at 1000 rpm.
(3) Move valve body selector lever one detent rear-
ward from full forward position (this is 2 range).
(4) Move transmission throttle lever from full for-
ward to full rearward position and read pressure at
both gauges.
(5) Line pressure should be 54-60 psi (372-414
kPa) with throttle lever forward and gradually in-
crease to 90-96 psi (620-662 kPa) as lever is moved
rearward.
Test Three-Transmission In Third Gear
This test checks pressure regulation and con-
dition of the front and rear clutch circuits.
Both gauges are required for this test.
(1) Connect one test gauge to line pressure port
and other gauge to front servo pressure port (Fig. 4).
Either gauge can be used at either port.
(2) Start and run engine at 1600 rpm.
(3) Move selector lever two detents rearward from
full forward position. This is D range.
(4) Read pressures on both gauges as transmission
throttle lever is moved from full forward to full rear-
ward position.
(a) Line pressure in third gear, should be 54-60
psi (372-414 kPa) with throttle lever forward and
gradually increase as lever is moved rearward.
(b) Front servo pressure in third gear, should be
within 3 psi (21 kPa) of line pressure, up to down-
shift point.
Test Four-Transmission In Reverse
This test checks pump output, pressure regu-
lation and the front clutch and rear servo cir-
cuits. Use 300 psi Pressure Test Gauge C-3293
for this test.
(1) Connect pressure test gauge to rear servo port
(Fig. 5).
(2) Start and run engine at 1600 rpm for test.
(3) Move valve body selector lever four detents
rearward from full forward position. This is Reverse
range.
(4) Move throttle lever all way forward then all the
way rearward and note gauge readings.
(5) Pressure should be 145 - 175 psi (1000-1207
kPa) with lever forward and increase to 230 - 280 psi
(1586-1931 kPa) as lever is moved rearward.
Test Five-Governor Pressure
This test checks governor operation by mea-
suring governor pressure response to changesin engine speed. It is usually not necessary to
check governor operation unless shift speeds
are incorrect or if the transmission will not
shift up or down. Use 100 psi Pressure Test
Gauge C-3292 for this test.
(1) Connect test gauge to governor pressure port
(Figs. 5 and 6).
(2) Move selector lever to D range.
(3) Apply service brakes. Start and run engine at
curb idle speed and note pressure. At idle and with
wheels stopped, pressure should be zero to 1-1/2 psi
maximum. If pressure exceeds this figure, governor
valve or weights are sticking open.
(4) Slowly increase engine speed and observe
speedometer and pressure test gauge. Governor pres-
sure should increase in proportion to vehicle speed
(approximately 1 psi for every 1 mph shown on
speedometer).
(5) Governor pressure rise should be smooth and
drop back to 0 to 1-1/2 psi when throttle is closed
and wheels are stopped.
(6) Compare results of pressure tests with analysis
chart (Fig. 7).

WARNING: NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO STAND IN
FRONT OF THE VEHICLE DURING A STALL TEST.
ALWAYS BLOCK THE FRONT WHEELS AND APPLY
THE SERVICE AND PARKING BRAKES DURING
THE TEST.
STALL TEST PROCEDURE
(1) Connect tachometer to engine.
(2) Check and adjust transmission fluid level.
(3) Start and run engine until transmission fluid
reaches normal operating temperature.
(4) Block front wheels.
(5) Fully apply service and parking brakes.
(6) Open throttle completely and record maximum
engine rpm registered on tachometer. It will take
from 3 to 10 seconds to reach maximum rpm. How-
ever, once maximum rpm has been achieved,do not
hold wide open throttle for more than 5 sec-
onds.
CAUTION: Stalling the converter causes a rapid in-
crease in fluid temperature. To avoid fluid overheat-
ing, hold wide open throttle for no more than 5
seconds after reaching peak rpm. In addition, if
more than one stall test is required, run the engine
at 1000 rpm with the transmission in Neutral for at
least 20 seconds to cool the fluid.
(7) Stall speeds should be in 1700-2150 rpm range.
CAUTION: If engine exceeds 2150 rpm, release ac-
celerator pedal immediately as transmission clutch
slippage is occurring.
(8) Shift transmission into Neutral. Run engine for
20-30 seconds at 1000 rpm to cool fluid. Then stop
engine, shift transmission into Park and release
brakes.
(9) Refer to Stall Test Diagnosis.
STALL TEST DIAGNOSIS
Stall Speed Too Low
Low stall speeds with a properly tuned engine in-
dicate a torque converter overrunning clutch prob-
lem. The condition should be confirmed by road
testing prior to converter replacement.The converter overrunning clutch is slipping when
stall speeds are 250 to 350 rpm below specified min-
imum.
A converter overrunning clutch failure will result
in sluggish acceleration in all speed ranges. It will
also require greater than normal throttle opening to
maintain cruising speeds.
Stall Speed Too High
If stall speed exceeds 2150 rpm, transmission
clutch slippage is occurring.
Stall Speed Normal But Acceleration Is Sluggish
If stall speeds are within specified range but abnor-
mal throttle opening is required for acceleration, or
to maintain cruise speeds, the converter overrunning
clutch is seized. The torque converter will have to be
replaced.
Converter Noise During Test
A whining noise caused by fluid flow is normal dur-
ing a stall test. However, loud metallic noises indi-
cate a damaged converter. To confirm that noise is
originating from the converter, operate the vehicle at
light throttle in Drive and Neutral on a hoist and lis-
ten for noise from the converter housing.
AIR PRESSURE TEST
Air pressure testing can be used to check clutch
and band operation with the transmission either in
the vehicle, or on the work bench as a final check af-
ter overhaul.
Air pressure testing requires that the oil pan and
valve body be removed from the transmission.
The servo and clutch apply passages are shown in
Figure 8.
Air Test Procedure
(1) Place one or two fingers on the clutch housing
and apply air pressure through front clutch apply
passage (Fig. 8). Piston movement can be felt and a
soft thud heard as the clutch applies.
(2) Place one or two fingers on the clutch housing
and apply air pressure through rear clutch apply
passage (Fig. 8). Piston movement can be felt and a
soft thud heard as the clutch applies.
(3) Apply air pressure to the front servo apply pas-
sage. The servo rod should extend and cause the
band to tighten around the drum. Spring tension
should release the servo when air pressure is re-
moved.
(4) Apply air pressure to the rear servo apply pas-
sage. The servo rod should extend and cause the
band to tighten around the drum. Spring tension
should release the servo when air pressure is re-
moved.
