Before test driving a brake complaint vehicle, note
whether the Red or Amber Brake Warning Lamp is
turned on. If it is the Red Brake Warning Lamp,
refer to the hydraulic system section in the brake
group of this manual. If the ABS Warning lamp
was/is on, test drive the vehicle as described below, to
verify the complaint. While the ABS Warning Lamp
is on, the ABS is not functional. The standard brake
system and the ability to stop the car may not be
affected if only the ABS Warning Lamp is on.
Discuss with the owner of the vehicle or note any
other electrical problems or conditions that may be
occurring on the vehicle. They may have an effect on
the antilock brake system's function.
(1) Turn the key to the off position and then back
to the on position. Note whether the ABS Warning
Lamp continues to stay on. If it does, refer to the
diagnostic manual covering the ITT Teves Mark 20
ABS system for the required test procedures.
(2) If the ABS Warning Lamp goes out, shift into
gear and drive the car to a speed of 20 kph (12 mph)
to complete the ABS start up cycle. If at this time the
ABS Warning Lamp goes on refer to the ITT Teves
Mark 20 Diagnostic Manual.
(3) If the ABS Warning Lamp remains OUT, drive
the vehicle a short distance. During this test drive be
sure that the vehicle achieves at least 40 mph. Brake
to at least one complete stop in an ABS cycle, and
again accelerate to 25 mph.
(4) If a functional problem with the ABS system is
determined while test driving a vehicle, refer to the
diagnostic manual covering the ITT Teves Mark 20
ABS system for the required test procedures and
proper use of the DRB diagnostic scan tool.
ABS SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
The ABS uses an electronic control module, the
CAB. This module is designed to withstand normal
current draws associated with vehicle operation.
Care must be taken to avoid overloading the CAB
circuits.In testing for open or short circuits, do
not ground or apply voltage to any of the cir-
cuits unless instructed to do so for a diagnostic
procedure.These circuits should only be tested
using a high impedance multi-meter or the DRB
tester as described in this section. Power should
never be removed or applied to any control module
with the ignition in the ON position. Before removing
or connecting battery cables, fuses, or connectors,
always turn the ignition to the OFF position.
CAUTION: Use only factory wiring harnesses. Do
not cut or splice wiring to the brake circuits. The
addition of after-market electrical equipment (car
phone, radar detector, citizen band radio, trailer
lighting, trailer brakes, ect.) on a vehicle equippedwith antilock brakes may affect the function of the
antilock brake system.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL INSPECTION
CAUTION: Use only Mopar brake fluid or an equiv-
alent from a tightly sealed container. Brake fluid
must conform to DOT 3 specifications. Do not use
petroleum-based fluid because seal damage in the
brake system will result.
For the specific procedure covering the inspection
of the brake fluid level and adding brake fluid to the
reservoir, refer to the Service Adjustments Section in
this group of the service manual.
BLEEDING TEVES MARK 20 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The base brake system must be bled anytime air is
permitted to enter the hydraulic system, due to dis-
connection of brake lines, hoses or components. The
ABS system, particularly the HCU, should only be
bled when the HCU is replaced or removed from the
vehicle, or if there is reason to believe the HCU has
ingested air. Under most circumstances that would
require brake bleeding, only the base brake system
needs to be bled.
It is important to note that excessive air in the
brake system will cause a soft or spongy feeling
brake pedal.
During bleeding operations, be sure that the brake
fluid level remains close to the FULL level in the res-
ervoir. Check the fluid level periodically during the
bleeding procedure and add DOT 3 brake fluid as
required.
The Teves Mark 20 ABS hydraulic system and the
base brake hydraulic system must be bled as two
independent braking systems. The non ABS portion
of the brake system is to be bled the same as any
non ABS system. Refer to the Service Adjustments
section in this manual for the proper bleeding proce-
dure to be used. This brake system can be either
pressure bled or manually bled.
The ABS portion of the brake system MUST be
bled separately. This bleeding procedure requires the
use of the DRB Diagnostic Tester and the bleeding
sequence procedure outlined below.
ABS BLEEDING PROCEDURE
When bleeding the ABS system, the following
bleeding sequenceMUSTbe followed to insure com-
plete and adequate bleeding. The ABS system can be
bled using a manual bleeding procedure or standard
pressure bleeding equipment.
NSBRAKES 5 - 99
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

If the brake system is to be bled using pressurized
bleeding equipment, refer to Bleeding Brake System
in the Service Adjustments section at the beginning
of this group for proper equipment usage and proce-
dures.
(1) Assemble and install all brake system compo-
nents on the vehicle making sure all hydraulic fluid
lines are installed and properly torqued.
(2) Connect the DRB Diagnostics Tester to the
diagnostics connector. The Teves Mark 20 ABS diag-
nostic connector is located under the instrument
panel to the left of the steering column cover.
(3) Using the DRB, check to make sure the CAB
does not have any fault codes stored. If it does,
remove them using the DRB.
WARNING: WHEN BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYS-
TEM WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. A CLEAR BLEED
TUBE MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE BLEEDER
SCREWS AND SUBMERGED IN A CLEAR CON-
TAINER FILLED PART WAY WITH CLEAN BRAKE
FLUID. DIRECT THE FLOW OF BRAKE FLUID AWAY
FROM THE PAINTED SURFACES OF THE VEHICLE.
BRAKE FLUID AT HIGH PRESSURE MAY COME
OUT OF THE BLEEDER SCREWS WHEN OPENED.
(4) Bleed the base brake system using the stan-
dard pressure or manual bleeding procedure as out-
lined in the Service Adjustments section of this
service manual.
(5) Using the DRB, go to the9Bleed ABS9routine.
Apply the brake pedal firmly and initiate the9Bleed
ABS9cycle one time. Release the brake pedal.
(6) Bleed the base brake system again, as in step
Step 4 above.
(7) Repeat steps Step 5 and Step 6 above until
brake fluid flows clear and is free of any air bubbles.
Check brake fluid level in reservoir periodically to
prevent reservoir from running low on brake fluid.
(8) Test drive the vehicle to be sure brakes are
operating correctly and that brake pedal is solid.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
ABS GENERAL SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Review this entire section prior to per-
forming any mechanical work on a vehicle equipped
with the ITT Tevis Mark 20 ABS brake system. This
section contains information on precautions per-
taining to potential component damage, vehicle
damage and personal injury which could result
when servicing an ABS equipped vehicle.
CAUTION: Only the recommended jacking or hoist-
ing positions for this vehicle are to be used when-ever it is necessary to lift a vehicle. Failure to raise
a vehicle from the recommended locations could
result in lifting a vehicle by the hydraulic control
unit mounting bracket. Lifting a vehicle by the
hydraulic control unit mounting bracket will result
in damage to the mounting bracket and the hydrau-
lic control unit.
CAUTION: Certain components of the ABS System
are not intended to be serviced individually.
Attempting to remove or disconnect certain system
components may result in improper system opera-
tion. Only those components with approved
removal and installation procedures in this manual
should be serviced.
CAUTION: Brake fluid will damage painted sur-
faces. If brake fluid is spilled on any painted sur-
faces, wash off with water immediately.
CAUTION: When performing any service procedure
on a vehicle equipped with ABS do not apply a 12
volt power source to the ground circuit of the pump
motor in the CAB. Doing this will damage the pump
motor and will require replacement of the HCU.
The following are general cautions which should be
observed when servicing the ABS system and/or
other vehicle systems. Failure to observe these pre-
cautions may result in ABS System component dam-
age.
If welding work is to be performed on the vehicle,
using an electric arc welder, the CAB connector
should be disconnected during the welding operation.
The CAB 25 way connector connector should never
be connected or disconnected with the ignition switch
in the ON position.
Many components of the ABS System are not ser-
viceable and must be replaced as an assembly. Do not
disassemble any component which is not designed to
be serviced.
HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT
REMOVE
(1) Disconnect the negative (ground) cable from
the battery and isolate cable.
(2) Using a brake pedal depressor, move and lock
the brake pedal to a position past the first inch of
pedal travel.This will prevent brake fluid from
draining out of the master cylinder when the
brake tubes are removed from the HCU.
(3) Raise vehicle. Vehicle is to be raised and sup-
ported on jackstands or on a frame contact type

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CLUTCH RELEASE SYSTEM
CLUTCH CABLE Ð LHD
The manual transaxle clutch release system has a
unique self-adjusting mechanism to compensate for
clutch disc wear (Fig. 7). This adjuster mechanism is
located within the clutch cable assembly. The preload
spring maintains tension on the cable. This tension
keeps the clutch release bearing continuously loaded
against the fingers of the clutch cover assembly.
HYDRAULIC CLUTCH Ð RHD
Leverage, clamping force, and friction are what
make the clutch work. The disc serves as the friction
element and a diaphragm spring and pressure plate
provide the clamping force. The clutch pedal, hydrau-
lic linkage, release lever and bearing provide the
leverage to disengage and engage the modular clutch
assembly.
The modular clutch assembly contains the cover,
diaphragm spring, pressure plate, disc and flywheel
in one unit. The modular clutch also uses a drive
plate and is bolted to and driven by the drive plate.
The clutch linkage uses hydraulic pressure to oper-
ate the clutch. The clutch master cylinder push rod is
connected to the clutch pedal and the slave cylinder
push rod is connected to the release lever in the
clutch housing.
Depressing the clutch pedal develops fluid pressure
in the clutch master cylinder. This pressure is trans-
mitted to the slave cylinder through a connecting
line. In turn, the slave cylinder operates the clutch
release lever.
The clutch release bearing is mounted on the
transmission front bearing retainer. The bearing is
attached to the release lever, which moves the bear-
ing into contact with the clutch cover diaphragm
spring.Slave cylinder force causes the release lever to
move the release bearing into contact with the dia-
phragm spring. As additional force is applied, the
bearing presses the diaphragm spring fingers inward
on the fulcrums. This action moves the pressure
plate rearward relieving clamp force on the disc. The
clutch disc is disengaged and not driven at this point.
The process of clutch engagement is simply the
reverse of what occurs during disengagement. Releas-
ing pedal pressure removes clutch linkage pressure.
The release bearing moves away from the diaphragm
spring which allows the pressure plate to exert
clamping force on the clutch disc.
CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
The clutch pedal position switch functions as a
safety interlock device. It prevents possible engine
cranking with the clutch engaged.
The clutch pedal position switch is wired in series
between the starter relay coil and the ignition
switch.
The clutch pedal position switch is mounted to a
bracket located behind the clutch pedal. The switch
is held in place by four plastic wing tabs.
The clutch pedal position switch IS NOT adjust-
able. The pedal blade contacts the switch in the down
position (Fig. 8).

CLUTCH DIAGNOSIS
Problem diagnosis will generally require a road
test to determine the type of fault. Component
inspection will then determine the problem after road
testing.
Drive the vehicle at normal speeds during road
test. Shift the transaxle through all gear ranges andobserve clutch action. If chatter, grab, slip, or
improper release is experienced, remove and inspect
the clutch components. If the problem is noise or
hard shifting, further diagnosis may be needed. The
transaxle or other driveline components may actually
be at fault.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The battery stores, stabilizes, and delivers electri-
cal current to operate various electrical systems in
the vehicle. The determination of whether a battery
is good or bad is made by its ability to accept a
charge. It also must supply high-amperage current
for a long enough period to be able to start the vehi-
cle. The capability of the battery to store electrical
current comes from a chemical reaction. This reac-
tion takes place between the sulfuric acid solution
(electrolyte) and the lead +/- plates in each cell of the
battery. As the battery discharges, the plates react
with the acid from the electrolyte. When the charging
system charges the battery, the water is converted to
sulfuric acid in the battery. The concentration of acid
in the electrolyte is measured as specific gravity
using a hydrometer. The original equipment (OE)
battery is equipped with a hydrometer (test indica-
tor) built into the battery cover. The specific gravity
indicates the battery's state-of-charge. The OE bat-
tery is sealed and water cannot be added.
The battery is vented to release gases that are cre-
ated when the battery is being charged and dis-
charged. The battery top, posts, and terminals should
be cleaned when other under hood maintenance is
performed.
When the electrolyte level is below the top of the
plates, Clear in the test Indicator, the battery must
be replaced. The battery must be completely charged,
and the battery top, posts, and cable clamps must be
cleaned before diagnostic procedures are performed.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW JUMPER CABLE
CLAMPS TO TOUCH EACH OTHER WHEN CON-
NECTED TO A BOOSTER SOURCE. DO NOT USE
OPEN FLAME NEAR BATTERY. REMOVE METALLIC
JEWELRY WORN ON HANDS OR WRISTS TO AVOID
INJURY BY ACCIDENTAL ARCING OF BATTERY
CURRENT.
WHEN USING A HIGH OUTPUT BOOSTING DEVICE,
DO NOT ALLOW THE DISABLED VEHICLE'S BAT-
TERY TO EXCEED 16 VOLTS. PERSONAL INJURY
OR DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAN
RESULT.
TO PROTECT THE HANDS FROM BATTERY ACID, A
SUITABLE PAIR OF HEAVY DUTY RUBBER
GLOVES, NOT THE HOUSEHOLD TYPE, SHOULD
BE WORN WHEN REMOVING OR SERVICING A
BATTERY. SAFETY GLASSES ALSO SHOULD BE
WORN.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
BATTERY IGNITION OFF DRAW (IOD)
A completely normal vehicle will have a small
amount of current drain on the battery with the key
out of the ignition. It can range from 5 to 25 milli-
amperes after all the modules time out. If a vehicle
will not be operated for approximately a 20 days, the
IOD fuse should be pulled to eliminate the vehicle
electrical drain on the battery. The IOD fuse is

use. Refer to Causes of Battery Discharging in this
Group for more information.
NOTE: CLEAR COLOR = Replace Battery
WARNING: DO NOT CHARGE, ASSIST BOOST,
LOAD TEST, OR ADD WATER TO THE BATTERY
WHEN CLEAR COLOR DOT IS VISIBLE. PERSONAL
INJURY MAY OCCUR.
A clear color dot shows electrolyte level in battery
is below the test indicator (Fig. 1). Water cannot be
added to a maintenance free battery. The battery
must be replaced. A low electrolyte level may be
caused by an over charging condition. Refer to Gen-
erator Test Procedures on Vehicle.
CAUSES OF BATTERY DISCHARGING
It is normal to have a small 5 to 25 milliamperes
continuous electrical draw from the battery. This
draw will take place with the ignition in the OFF
position, and the courtesy, dome, storage compart-
ments, and engine compartment lights OFF. The con-
tinuous draw is due to various electronic features or
accessories that require electrical current with the
ignition OFF to function properly. When a vehicle is
not used over an extended period of approximately 20
days the IOD fuse should be pulled. The fuse is
located in the power distribution center. Disconnec-
tion of this fuse will reduce the level of battery dis-
charge. Refer to Battery Diagnosis and Testing table
and to the proper procedures.
ABNORMAL BATTERY DISCHARGING
²Corroded battery posts, cables or terminals.
²Loose or worn generator drive belt.
²Electrical loads that exceed the output of the
charging system due to equipment or accessories
installed after delivery.
²Slow driving speeds in heavy traffic conditions
or prolonged idling with high-amperage electrical
systems in use.²Defective electrical circuit or component causing
excess Ignition Off Draw (IOD). Refer to Battery
Ignition Off Draw (IOD).
²Defective charging system.
²Defective battery.
BATTERY IGNITION OFF DRAW (IOD)
High current draw on the battery with the ignition
OFF will discharge a battery. After a dead battery is
serviced the vehicle Ignition Off Draw (IOD) should
be checked. Determine if a high current draw condi-
tion exists first check the vehicle with a test lamp.
(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are OFF.
²Remove key from ignition switch
²Turn off all lights
²Liftgate and glove box door is closed
²Sun visor vanity lights are OFF
²All doors are closed
²Allow the Illuminated Entry System to time out
in approximately 30 seconds, if equipped.
²During Transmission Control Module (TCM)
power down there will be 500 milliamperes present
for 20 minutes. Afterwards less than 1.0 milliampere.
(2) Disconnect battery negative cable (Fig. 4).
CAUTION: Always disconnect the meter before
opening a door.
(3) Using an multimeter, that has least a milliam-
pere range of 200 mA. Set meter to the highest mA
range. Install meter between the battery negative
cable and battery negative post (Fig. 5). Carefully
remove the test lamp without disconnecting the
meter. After all modules time-out the total vehicle
IOD should be less than 25 milliamperes. If ignition
off draw is more than 25 milliamperes go to Step 4.
(4) Each time the test lamp or milliampere meter
is disconnected and connected, all electronic timer
functions will be activated for approximately one
minute. The Body Control Module (BCM) ignition off
draw can reach 90 milliamperes.
(5) Remove the PDC fuses:
²Interior lamps
²Brake lamp
²IOD
(6) If there is any reading, with fuses removed
there is a short circuit in the wiring. Refer to Group
8W, wiring diagrams. If reading is less than 25 mA
go to Step 8.
(7) Install all fuses. After installing fuse, the cur-
rent can reach 90 mA. After time-out the reading
should not exceed 25 mA. If OK go to. If not, discon-
nect:
²Radio
²Body Control Module
²Remote Keyless Entry Module

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

(8) Disconnect one component at time, to see if any
component is at fault. If the high reading is not elim-
inated there is a short circuit in the wiring. Refer to
Group 8W, wiring diagrams.
(9) Remove interior and brake lamp fuses. Install
the fuses. The milliampere reading should be 2-4 mA.
If reading is higher than 4 mA:
(a) Disconnect PCM.
(b) If reading is OK, replace PCM.(c) If reading does not change, disconnect the
TCM.
(d) If reading is OK, replace TCM.
(e) If reading stays, there is a short circuit to
one of the modules. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring
Diagrams.
BATTERY LOAD TEST
A fully charged battery must have cranking capac-
ity, to provide the starter motor and ignition system
enough power to start the engine over a broad range
of ambient temperatures. A battery load test will ver-
ify the actual cranking capability of the battery.
WARNING: IF BATTERY SHOWS SIGNS OF FREEZ-
ING, LEAKING, LOOSE POSTS, OR EXCESSIVELY
