fluid accumulators temporarily store brake fluid that
is decayed from the wheel brakes during an ABS
cycle. This stored brake fluid is then used by the
pump in the HCU to provide build pressure for the
brake hydraulic system.
Additionally on vehicles that are equipped with
only ABS (non-traction control vehicles) there is a
mini brake fluid accumulator on the secondary
hydraulic circuit which protects the master cylinder's
seals during an ABS stop. There is also a noise
damping chamber on the primary hydraulic circuit.
On ABS equipped vehicles with traction control, in
addition to the brake fluid accumulators there are
also two noise damping chambers in the HCU.
HCU PUMP/MOTOR
The HCU (Fig. 4) contains 2 pump assemblies, one
for the primary and one for the secondary hydraulic
circuit of the brake system. Both pumps are driven
by a common electric motor (Fig. 4) which is part of
the HCU. The pumps draw brake fluid from the fluid
accumulators to supply build pressure to the brakes
during an ABS stop. The pump motor runs during
the drive-off cycle as a check and during an ABS stop
and is controlled by the CAB. The Pump/Motor
Assembly is not a serviceable item. If the pump/mo-
tor requires replacement the complete HCU (Fig. 4)
(minus the CAB) must be replaced.
ABS FUSES
The fuse for the ABS pump motor and the ABS system
are located in the power distribution center (PDC) (Fig. 5).
The PDC is located on the drivers side of the engine com-
partment forward of the strut tower. The fuse for the ABS
warning lamp in the instrument panel message center is
located in the junction block.
On vehicles equipped with traction control, the
fuse for the traction control switch is also located in
the junction block.The junction block is located on the left hand front
cowl panel on the vehicle.
ABS RELAYS
On the Teves Mark 20 Antilock Brake System both
the pump motor relay and the system relay are
located in the CAB. If either of the relays is diag-
nosed as not functioning properly the CAB will need
to be replaced. Refer to Controller Antilock Brakes in
the Removal And Installation Section in this group of
the service manual for the procedure.
PROPORTIONING VALVES
One assembly containing two proportioning valves
are used in the system, one for each rear brake
hydraulic circuit. The proportioning valve is located
on the frame rail next to the fuel tank, forward of the
right rear shock absorber (Fig. 6). Be sure replace-
ment proportioning valve assemblies have the same
split point and slope as the proportioning valve being
replaced.
WHEEL SPEED SENSORS
One Wheel Speed Sensor WSS is located at each
front and rear wheel of the vehicle (Fig. 7), (Fig. 8)
and (Fig. 9). The wheel speed sensor sends a small
AC signal to the CAB. This signal is generated by
magnetic induction created when a toothed sensor
ring (tone wheel) (Fig. 7), (Fig. 8) and (Fig. 9) passes
the stationary magnetic wheel speed sensor. The
CAB converts the AC signal generated at each wheel
into a digital signal. If a wheel locking tendency is
detected by the CAB, it will then modulate hydraulic
pressure via the HCU to prevent the wheel(s) from
locking.

NSBRAKES 5 - 89
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
The front wheel speed sensor is attached to a boss
in the steering knuckle (Fig. 7). The front tone wheel
(Fig. 7) is part of the driveshafts outboard constant
velocity joint. The rear wheel speed sensor ismounted through the rear axle, rear brake support
plate and directly to the rear bearing (Fig. 8) (Fig. 9).
The rear tone wheel on a front wheel drive vehicle is
an integral part of the rear wheel hub/bearing
assembly. If damaged though, the rear tone wheel on
a front wheel drive vehicle can be replaced as a indi-
vidual component of the rear hub/bearing assembly.
Refer to Rear Tone Wheel in the Remove And Install
Section in this group of the service manual for the
required procedure. The wheel speed sensor air gap
is NOT adjustable.
The rear tone wheel on a all wheel drive vehicle, is
part of the outboard constant velocity joint on the
rear driveshaft (Fig. 9).
The four wheel speed sensors are all serviced indi-
vidually, but the front tone wheel on all vehicles and
the rear tone wheel on all wheel drive vehicles are
serviced as part of the front or rear driveshaft out-
board constant velocity joint (Fig. 7) and (Fig. 9).
Correct ABS system operation is dependent on
accurate wheel speed signals. The vehicle's wheels
and tires must all be the same size and type to gen-
erate accurate signals. Variations in wheel and tire
size can produce inaccurate wheel speed signals,
which can cause false ABS cycles to occur.
CONTROLLER ANTILOCK BRAKES (CAB)
The Controller Antilock Brakes (CAB) is a micro-
processor based device which monitors the ABS sys-
tem during normal braking and controls it when the
vehicle is in an ABS stop. The CAB is mounted to the
bottom of the HCU (Fig. 10). The CAB uses a 25 way
electrical connector on the vehicle wiring harness.
The power source for the CAB is through the ignition
switch in the Run or On position.THE (CAB) IS ON

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
The primary functions of the (CAB) are:
(1) Detect wheel locking or wheel slipping tenden-
cies by monitoring the speed of all four wheels of the
vehicle.
(2) Illuminate the TRAC lamp in the message cen-
ter on the instrument panel when a traction control
event is occurring.
(3) Control fluid modulation to the wheel brakes
while the system is in an ABS mode or the traction
control system is activated.
(4) Monitor the system for proper operation.
(5) Provide communication to the DRB Scan Tool
while in diagnostic mode.
(6) Store diagnostic information.
(7)The CAB continuously communicates with
the body controller by sending out a message to
the body controller on the CCD Bus. This mes-
sage is used for illumination of the yellow
antilock warning lamp. This is used if the ABS
controller communication is lost in the hard
wire between the body controller and the yel-
low antilock warning lamp. If the body control-
ler does not receive this message from the CAB,
the body controller will illuminate the antilock
yellow warning lamp.
The CAB continuously monitors the speed of each
wheel through the signals generated by the wheel
speed sensors to determine if any wheel is beginning
to lock. When a wheel locking tendency is detected,
the CAB commands the CAB command coils to actu-
ate. The CAB command coils then open and close the
valves in the HCU which modulate brake fluid pres-
sure in some or all of the hydraulic circuits. The CAB
continues to control pressure in individual hydraulic
circuits until a locking tendency is no longer present.
The ABS system is constantly monitored by the
CAB for proper operation. If the CAB detects a fault,
it will turn on the Amber ABS Warning Lamp anddisable the ABS braking system. The normal base
braking system will remain operational.
The CAB contains a self-diagnostic program which
will turn on the Amber ABS Warning Lamp when a
ABS system fault is detected. Faults are then stored
in a diagnostic program memory. There are multiple
fault messages which may be stored in the CAB and
displayed through the DRB Scan Tool. These fault
messages will remain in the CAB memory even after
the ignition has been turned off. The fault messages
can be read and or cleared from the CAB memory by
a technician using the DRB Scan Tool. The fault
occurrence and the fault code will also be automati-
cally cleared from the CAB memory after the identi-
cal fault has not been seen during the next 3500
miles of vehicle operation. Mileage though of the last
fault occurrence will not be automatically cleared.CONTROLLER ANTILOCK BRAKE INPUTS

ABS WARNING LAMP (YELLOW)
The ABS system uses a yellow colored ABS Warn-
ing Lamp. The ABS warning lamp is located on the
right side of the message center located at the top of
the instrument panel. The purpose of the warning
lamp is discussed in detail below.
The ABS warning lamp will turn on when the CAB
detects a condition which results in a shutdown of
ABS function or when the body controller does not
receive C2D messages from the CAB. When the igni-
tion key is turned to the on position, the ABS Warn-
ing Lamp is on until the CAB completes its self tests
and turns the lamp off (approximately 4 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned on). Under most
conditions, when the ABS warning lamp is on, only
the ABS function of the brake system is affected. The
standard brake system and the ability to stop the car
will not be affected when only the ABS warning lamp
is on.
The ABS warning lamp is controlled by the CAB
and the body controller through a diode located in
the wiring harness junction block. The junction block
is located under the instrument panel to the left of

the steering column. The CAB and the body control-
ler, controls the yellow ABS warning lamp by directly
grounding the circuit.
HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS AND VALVE OPERATION
Through the following operation descriptions the
function of the various hydraulic control valves in the
ABS will be described. The fluid control valves men-
tioned below, control the flow of pressurized brake
fluid to the wheel brakes during the different modes
of ABS braking.
For explanation purposes, all wheel speed sensors
except the right front are sending the same wheel
speed information. The following diagrams show only
the right front wheel in a antilock braking condition.
NORMAL BRAKING HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT AND
SOLENOID VALVE FUNCTION
This condition is the normal operation of the vehi-
cles base brake hydraulic system. The hydraulic sys-
tem circuit diagram (Fig. 11) shows a situation where
no wheel spin or slip is occurring relative to the
speed of the vehicle. The driver is applying the brake
pedal to build pressure in the brake hydraulic system
to apply the brakes and stop the vehicle.
TEVES MARK 20 ABS CIRCUIT AND
SOLENOID VALVE FUNCTION
This hydraulic circuit diagram (Fig. 12) shows the
vehicle in the ABS braking mode. This hydraulic cir-
cuit (Fig. 12) shows a situation where one wheel is
slipping because the driver is attempting to stop the
vehicle at a faster rate than the surface the vehicle's
tires are on will allow. The normally open and nor-
mally closed valves modulate the brake hydraulic
pressure as required. The pump/motor is switched on
so that the brake fluid from the low pressure accu-
mulators is returned to the master cylinder circuits.
The brake fluid will then be routed to either the mas-
ter cylinder or the wheel brake depending on the
position of the normally open valve.
TEVES MARK 20 SECONDARY ABS CIRCUIT
AND SOLENOID VALVE FUNCTION
This hydraulic circuit diagram (Fig. 13) shows the
vehicle in the ABS braking mode. This hydraulic cir-
cuit (Fig. 13) shows a situation where one wheel is
slipping because the driver is attempting to stop the
vehicle at a faster rate than the surface the vehicle's
tires are on will allow. The normally open and nor-
mally closed valves modulate the brake hydraulic
pressure as required. The pump/motor is switched on
so that the brake fluid from the low pressure accu-

mulators is returned to the master cylinder circuits.
The brake fluid will then be routed to either the mas-
ter cylinder or the wheel brake depending on the
position of the normally open valve. A volume of 1.2
cc's of brake fluid is taken in by the lip seal saver
(Fig. 13) to protect the lip seals on the piston of the
master cylinder.

FUNCTION
This condition is the normal operation of the vehi-
cles base brake hydraulic system when the vehicle is
equipped with ABS and traction control. The hydrau-
lic system circuit diagram (Fig. 14) shows a situation
where no wheel spin or slip is occurring relative to
the speed of the vehicle. The driver is applying the
brake pedal to build pressure in the brake hydraulic
system to apply the brakes and stop the vehicle. The
hydraulic shuttle valve (Fig. 14) closes with every
brake pedal application so pressure is not created at
the inlet to the pump.

because the driver is attempting to stop the vehicle
at a faster rate than the surface the vehicle's tires
are on will allow. The hydraulic shuttle valve (Fig.
15) closes upon brake application so that the pump
can not suck brake fluid from the master cylinder.
The normally open and normally closed valves mod-
ulate the brake hydraulic pressure as required. The
pump/motor is switched on so that the brake fluid
from the low pressure accumulators is returned to
the master cylinder circuits. The brake fluid will
then be routed to either the master cylinder or the
wheel brake depending on the position of the nor-
mally open valve.

This hydraulic circuit diagram (Fig. 16) shows a
vehicle equipped with ABS and traction control in
the traction control mode. The hydraulic circuit (Fig.

ning and brake pressure is required to reduce its
speed. The normally open ASR valve (Fig. 16) is ener-
gized to isolate the brake fluid being pumped from
the master cylinder and to isolate the driven wheel.
Also, the normally open ASR valve bypasses the
pump output back to the master cylinder at a fixed
pressure setting. The normally open and normally
closed valves (Fig. 16) modulate the brake pressure
as required to the spinning wheel.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ABS GENERAL DIAGNOSTICS INFORMATION
This section contains the information necessary to
diagnose the ITT Teves Mark 20 ABS Brake System.
Specifically, this section should be used to help diag-
nose conditions which result in any of the following:
(1) ABS Warning Lamp turned on.(2) Brakes Lock-up on hard application
Diagnosis of base brake conditions which are obvi-
ously mechanical in nature should be directed to
Group 5 Brakes in this service manual. This includes
brake noise, brake pulsation, lack of power assist,
parking brake, Red BRAKE Warning Lamp lighting,
or vehicle vibration during normal braking.
Many conditions that generate customer com-
plaints may be normal operating conditions, but are
judged to be a problem due to not being familiar with
the ABS system. These conditions can be recognized
without performing extensive diagnostic work, given
adequate understanding of the operating principles
and performance characteristics of the ABS. See the
ABS System Operation Section in this group of the
service manual to familiarize yourself with the oper-
ating principles of the ABS system.
ABS WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION
During the diagnosis of the antilock brake system
it may become necessary to reference the wiring dia-
grams covering the antilock brake system and its
components. For wiring diagrams refer to Antilock
Brakes in Group 8W of this service manual. This
group will provide you with the wiring diagrams and
the circuit description and operation information cov-
ering the antilock brake system.
