rear wheels inboard of the rocker panel weld seam.
TOWINGÐFRONT WHEEL LIFT
Chrysler Corporation recommends that a vehicle be
towed with the front end lifted, whenever possible. A
90 cm (36 in.) length of 4x4 wood beam can be placed
between the wheel lift device and the bottom of the
fascia to prevent damage to vehicle during the lifting
operation. The beam can removed after lifting the
front of the vehicle.
TOWINGÐREAR WHEEL LIFT
If a vehicle cannot be towed with the front wheels
lifted, the rear wheels can be lifted provided the fol-
lowing guide lines are observed.
CAUTION: Do not use steering column lock to
secure steering wheel during towing operation.
²On AWD vehicles, all four wheels must be free to
rotate. Use towing dollies at unlifted end of vehicle.
²Unlock steering column and secure steering
wheel in straight ahead position with a clamp device
designed for towing.
²3-speed automatic transaxle vehicles can be flat
towed at speeds not to exceed 40 km/h (25 mph) for
not more than 25 km (15 miles). The steering column
must be unlocked and gear selector in neutral.
²4-speed electronic automatic transaxle vehicles
can be flat towed at speeds not to exceed 72 km/h (44
mph) for not more than 160 km (100 miles). The
steering column must be unlocked and gear selector
in neutral.

CAUTION: At no time when servicing a vehicle, can a
sheet metal screw, bolt or other metal fastener be
installed in the shock tower to take the place of an
original plastic clip. Also, NO holes can be drilled into
the front shock tower in the area shown in (Fig. 1), for
the installation of any metal fasteners into the shock
tower. Because of the minimum clearance in this area
(Fig. 1), installation of metal fasteners could damage
the coil spring coating and lead to a corrosion failure
of the spring. If a plastic clip is missing, or is lost or
broken during servicing a vehicle, replace only with
the equivalent part listed in the Mopar parts catalog.
CAUTION: Only the recommended jacking or hoisting
positions for this vehicle are to be used whenever 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 mount-
ing bracket and the hydraulic control unit.
BASE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The standard brake system on this vehicle consists
of the following components:
²Double pin floating caliper disc front brakes.
²Double pin floating caliper rear disc brakes on
all wheel drive applications.²Rear automatic adjusting drum brakes.
²Master cylinder with brake fluid level sensor.
²Vacuum booster.
²Height sensing proportioning valve (non-antilock
brake applications)
²Non-height sensing proportioning valve (antilock
brake applications)
The brakes hydraulic system on both non-antilock
and antilock brake systems is diagonally split (Fig. 2)
(Fig. 3). A diagonally split brake system means the
left front and right rear brakes on one hydraulic sys-
tem and the right front and left rear on the other.

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.
