Refer to the 1998 GS Service Manual for Gasoline
Engine and non-engine related Maintenance Sched-
ules.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULEÐDIESEL ENGINE
The following are engine related Maintenance
items which are unique to Diesel engine-equipped
vehicles. Refer to the 1998 GS Service Manual for
Gasoline Engine and non-engine related Maintenance
Schedules.
The service intervals are based on odometer read-
ings in kilometers. There are two maintenance sched-
ules that show proper service intervals. Use the
schedule that best describes the conditions the vehi-
cle is operated under.Schedule-Alists all the sched-
uled maintenance to be performed under normal
operating conditions.Schedule-Bis the schedule for
vehicles that are operated under one or more of the
following conditions:
²Day and night temperatures are below freezing.
²Stop and go driving.
²Long periods of engine idling.
²Driving in dusty conditions.
²Short trips of less than 5 miles.

brakes. The secondary outlet port supplies hydraulic
pressure to the left front and right rear brakes.
POWER BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER OPERATION
All vehicles use a 270 mm single diaphragm power
brake vacuum booster.
The power brake booster can be identified if
required, by the tag attached to the body of the
booster assembly (Fig. 10). This tag contains the fol-
lowing information: The production part number of
the power booster assembly, the date it was built,
and who was the manufacturer of the power brake
vacuum booster.
NOTE: The power brake booster assembly is not a
repairable component and must be replaced as a
complete assembly if it is found to be faulty in any
way. The check valve located in the power brake
booster (Fig. 10) is not repairable but it can be
replaced as an assembly separate from the power
brake booster.
The power brake booster reduces the amount of
force required by the driver to obtain the necessary
hydraulic pressure to stop vehicle.
The power brake booster is vacuum operated. The
vacuum is supplied from the intake manifold on the
engine through the power brake booster check valve
(Fig. 10) and (Fig. 11).
As the brake pedal is depressed, the power brake
boosters input rod moves forward (Fig. 11). This
opens and closes valves in the power booster, allow-
ing atmospheric pressure to enter on one side of a
diaphragm. Engine vacuum is always present on the
other side. This difference in pressure forces the out-
put rod of the power booster (Fig. 11) out against the
primary piston of the master cylinder. As the pistons
in the master cylinder move forward this creates the
hydraulic pressure in the brake system.The different engine combinations used on this
vehicle require that different vacuum hose routings
to the power brake vacuum booster be used.
All vacuum hoses must be routed from the engine
to the power brake vacuum booster without kinks,
excessively tight bends or potential for damage to the
vacuum hose.
The power brake vacuum booster assembly mounts
on the engine side of the dash panel, and is con-
nected to the brake pedal by the input push rod (Fig.
11). A vacuum line connects the power booster to the
intake manifold. The master cylinder is bolted to the
front of the power brake vacuum booster assembly.
RED BRAKE WARNING LAMP OPERATION
The red Brake warning lamp is located in the
instrument panel cluster and is used to indicate a
low brake fluid condition or that the parking brake is
applied. In addition, the brake warning lamp is
turned on as a bulb check by the ignition switch
every time the ignition switch is turned to the crank
position.
The warning lamp bulb is supplied a 12 volt igni-
tion feed anytime the ignition switch is on. The bulb
is then illuminated by completing the ground circuit
either through the park brake switch, the fluid level
sensor in the master cylinder reservoir, or the igni-
tion switch when it is turned to the crank position.
The Brake Fluid Level sensor is located in the
brake fluid reservoir of the master cylinder assembly.
The purpose of the sensor is to provide the driver
with an early warning that brake fluid level in the
master cylinder fluid reservoir has dropped to below

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

normal. This may indicate:(1)Abnormal loss of
brake fluid in the master cylinder fluid reservoir
resulting from a leak in the hydraulic system.(2)
Brake shoe linings which have worn to a point
requiring replacement.
As the brake fluid drops below the minimum level,
the brake fluid level sensor closes to ground the
brake warning light circuit. This will turn on the red
brake warning light. At this time, master cylinder
fluid reservoir should be checked and filled to the full
mark with DOT 3 brake fluid.If brake fluid level
has dropped below the add line in the master
cylinder fluid reservoir, the entire brake
hydraulic system should be checked for evi-
dence of a leak.
STOP LAMP SWITCH
The stop lamp switch controls operation of the
vehicles stop lamps. Also, if the vehicle is equippedwith speed control, the stop lamp switch will deacti-
vate speed control when the brake pedal is
depressed.
The stop lamp switch controls operation of the
right and left tail, stop and turn signal lamp and
CHMSL lamp, by supplying battery current to these
lamps.
The stop lamp switch controls the lamp operation
by opening and closing the electrical circuit to the
stop lamps.
HUB/BEARING REAR WHEEL
The rear hub and bearing assembly used on this
vehicle is serviceable only as a complete assembly. No
attempt should be made to disassemble a rear hub
and bearing assembly in an effort to repair it.
The rear hub and bearing assembly is attached to
the rear axle using 4 mounting bolts that are remov-
able from the back of the rear hub/bearing.

SERVICE PROCEDURES
MASTER CYLINDER FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Check master cylinder reservoir fluid level a mini-
mum of twice annually.
Master cylinder reservoirs are marked with the
words FULL and ADD to indicate proper brake fluid
fill level of the master cylinder (Fig. 26).
If necessary, add brake fluid to bring the level to
the bottom of the FULL mark on the side of the mas-
ter cylinder fluid reservoir.When filling master
cylinder fluid reservoir do not fill the filler
neck of the fluid reservoir (Fig. 26) with brake
fluid.
Use only Mopartbrake fluid or an equivalent from
a sealed container. Brake fluid must conform to DOT
3, specifications.
DO NOTuse brake fluid with a lower boiling
point, as brake failure could result during prolonged
hard braking.
Use only brake fluid that was stored in a tightly-
sealed container.
DO NOTuse petroleum-based fluid because seal
damage will result. Petroleum based fluids would be
items such as engine oil, transmission fluid, power
steering fluid ect.
BLEEDING BASE BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
NOTE: This bleeding procedure is only for the vehi-
cle's base brakes hydraulic system. For bleeding
the antilock brakes hydraulic system, refer to the
ITT Teves Mark 20 Antilock Brake System bleeding
procedure in the antilock brakes section of this ser-
vice manual.
PRESSURE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder
cover, throughly clean the cover and master cylin-
der fluid reservoir to prevent dirt and other foreign
matter from dropping into the master cylinder fluid
reservoir.
CAUTION: Use bleeder tank Special Tool C-3496-B
with adapter Special Tool 6921 to pressurize the
hydraulic system for bleeding.
CAUTION: When pressure bleeding the brakes
hydraulic system the fluid reservoir filler neck must
be removed from the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
Failure to remove the filler neck from the fluid res-
ervoir, may result in the filler neck separating from
the fluid reservoir when the hydraulic system is
pressurized.
Follow pressure bleeder manufacturer's instruc-
tions, for use of pressure bleeding equipment.
When bleeding the brake system, some air may be
trapped in the brake lines or valves far upstream, as
much as ten feet from the bleeder screw (Fig. 27).
Therefore, it is essential to have a fast flow of a large
volume of brake fluid when bleeding the brakes to
ensure all the air gets out.
(1) Remove the filler neck from the master cylin-
der fluid reservoir.
(2) Install the Adapter Master Cylinder Pressure
Bleed Cap, Special Tool 6921 on the fluid reservoir of
the master cylinder (Fig. 28). Attach the fluid hose
from the pressure bleeder to the fitting on Special
Tool 6921.
(3) Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleeder screw
at one wheel and feed the hose into a clear jar con-
taining fresh brake fluid.
