NOTE: Operating vehicle more than 50% in heavy
traffic during hot weather, above 90ÉF (32ÉC), using
vehicle for police, taxi, limousine type operation or
trailer towing require the more frequent transaxle
service noted in Schedule ± B. Perform these ser-
vices if vehicle is usually operated under these con-
ditions.
Inspection and service should also be performed
anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected.

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.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
ties to keep the engine satisfactorily cooled (Fig. 5),
(Fig. 6), (Fig. 7) and (Fig. 8).
CAUTION: Plastic tanks, while stronger then brass
are subject to damage by impact, such as wrenches
etc., or by excessive torque on hose clamps.
If the plastic tank is damaged, replace the radia-
tor.
RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP
The radiator is equipped with a pressure cap that
releases excessive cooling system pressure; maintain-
ing a range of 97-124 kPa (14-18 psi).
The cooling system will operate at higher than
atmospheric pressure. The higher pressure raises thecoolant boiling point thus, allowing increased radia-
tor cooling capacity.
There is also a vent valve in the center of the cap.
This valve also opens when coolant is cooling and
contracting allowing coolant to return to radiator
from coolant reserve system tank by vacuum through
connecting hose.If valve is stuck shut, or the
coolant recovery hose is pinched, the radiator
hoses will be collapsed on cool down. Clean the
vent valve (Fig. 9) and inspect coolant recovery
hose routing, to ensure proper sealing when
boiling point is reached.
The gasket in the cap seals the filler neck, so that
vacuum can be maintained, allowing coolant to be
drawn back into the radiator from the reserve tank.

belt is not to be used on the V-belt. These gauges
are not interchangeable.
²For conventional V-belts affix the Burroughs
gauge (Special Tool C-4162) to the belt. Adjust the
belt tension for New or Used belt as prescribed in the
Belt Tension Chart.
²For a Poly-V belt affix the Poly-V Burroughs

SECTION IDENTIFICATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual
sections. If a component is most likely found in a par-
ticular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
connectors, and pins) within that group. For exam-
ple, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. It
can, however, be shown partially in another group if
it contains some associated wiring.
SYMBOLS
International symbols are used throughout the wir-
ing diagrams. These symbols are consistent with
those being used around the world.
