ENGINE OIL
SAE VISCOSITY RATING INDICATES ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the vis-
cosity of engine oil. SAE 30 specifies a single viscos-
ity engine oil. Engine oils also have multiple
viscosities. These are specified with a dual SAE vis-
cosity grade which indicates the cold-to-hot tempera-
ture viscosity range.
²SAE 30 = single grade engine oil.
²SAE 10W-30 = multiple grade engine oil.
API QUALITY CLASSIFICATION
The API Service Grade specifies the type of perfor-
mance the engine oil is intended to provide. The API
Service Grade specifications also apply to energy con-
serving engine oils.
Use engine oils that are API Service Certified.
5W-30 and 10W-30 MOPAR engine oils conform to
specifications.
Refer to Group 9, Engine for engine oil specifica-
tion.
GEAR LUBRICANTS
SAE ratings also apply to multiple grade gear
lubricants. In addition, API classification defines the
lubricants usage.LUBRICANTS AND GREASES

PRE-WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
Before any attempt is made to change or correct
the wheel alignment factors. The following part
inspection and the necessary corrections should be
made to those parts which influence the steering of
the vehicle.
(1) Check and inflate all tires to recommended
pressure. All tires should be the same size and in
good condition and have approximately the same
wear. Note the type of tread wear which will aid in
diagnosing, see Wheels and Tires, Group 22.
(2) Check front wheel and tire assembly for radial
runout.
(3) Inspect lower ball joints and all steering link-
age for looseness.
(4) Check for broken or sagged front and rear
springs.(5) Check vehicle ride height to verify it is within
specifications.
(6) AlignmentMUSTonly be checked after the
vehicle has the following areas inspected and or
adjusted. Recommended tire pressures, full tank of
fuel, no passenger or luggage compartment load and
is on a level floor or a properly calibrated alignment
rack.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

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.

HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
The headlamps are equipped with a bubble level
for up/down headlamp alignment. The bubble is cen-
tered with the vehicle on a level surface. A horizontal
gauge and magnifying window is located next to the
bubble level for left/right alignment (Fig. 1). Aim on
every headlamp assembly is calibrated at the head-
lamp manufacturer. At the vehicle assembly plant,
the vertical aim is set by centering the bubble with
the vehicle on a level surface. Horizontal aim is con-
trolled by the mounting pads on each headlamp
mounting panel.
When the vehicle is to be used with a heavy load,
the bubble level can be used to compensate for the
altered ride height.
