ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM

1997-98 BRAKES
Mitsubishi - Anti-Lock
Montero
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: See ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS article in GENERAL
INFORMATION.
NOTE: For more information on brake system, see BRAKE SYSTEM
article.
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel\
lock-up during heavy braking. This allows operator to maintain
steering control while stopping vehicle in shortest distance possible.
Major components are a hydraulic unit, wheel speed sensors, "G"
sensor, ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and ANTI-LOCK warning light.\
ABS has a self-diagnostic system to indicate a system malfunction and
for use in system trouble shooting.
OPERATION
Each wheel sensor sends an AC electrical signal to the ECU.
The ECU reads this information as wheel speed. When any decelerating
wheel speed rate is determined to be excessive in comparison to other
monitored wheels, the hydraulic unit cycles hydraulic brake pressure
to each wheel to equalize speed of all wheels. ABS turns itself off
when vehicle drops to 4 MPH. Minor lock-up may occur at this point.
With engine running and vehicle speed greater than 4 MPH,
pump motor will operate for a short period of time and may be heard
inside vehicle. During pump motor operation, ABS system is completing
a self-check. During ABS system operation, a pulsing brake pedal and
vibration in steering wheel and vehicle body may be experienced. These
conditions are normal.
BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM
BLEEDING PROCEDURES
CAUTION: When adding brake fluid, ensure filter is properly fitted on
reservoir tank.
ABS system is bled using conventional method. With engine
running, manually bleed system using an assistant. For bleeding order,
see BRAKE LINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE table. Ensure Load Sensing
Proportioning Valve (LSPV) is bled in sequence. Remove all air from
brake system. Refill brake fluid reservoir after bleeding procedure is
complete.

Removal & Installation (3000GT AWD)
1) Raise and support vehicle. Remove front wheels. Remove
clip, brake pad retaining pins and spring. See Fig. 17. Remove shims
and pads from caliper. Keep track of location of shims for reassembly.
2) Compress caliper pistons fully in bores. Install shims on
brake pads. Install brake pads. Install spring clip, pad retaining
pins and clip. Start engine and depress brake pedal several times to
expand caliper piston. Check brake fluid level.
FRONT BRAKE CALIPER
Removal
Raise and support vehicle. Remove front wheels. Remove hose
clip from brake hose mount (if equipped). Disconnect brake hose from
caliper. Remove upper and lower caliper-to-steering knuckle bolts.
Lift caliper body upward. Remove caliper.
Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten bolts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Bleed brake system. See
BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM .
FRONT BRAKE ROTOR
Removal & Installation (Except Montero & Montero Sport)
Raise vehicle, and remove wheel(s). Remove caliper. See
FRONT BRAKE CALIPER . Slide rotor off hub. To install, reverse removal
procedure.
Removal (Montero & Montero Sport)
Raise and support vehicle. Remove brake caliper. See
FRONT BRAKE CALIPER . On 4WD, remove Remove bearing grease cap, snap
ring, shim, 6 bolts and drive flange from axle shaft. On 2WD remove 6
bolts and hub cover. Remove screw(s) from lock washer. Remove lock
washer. Remove lock nut using Lock Nut Wrench (MB990954). Remove hub
assembly. Place match marks on rotor and hub. Remove rotor from front
hub.
Installation
1) Install rotor on hub. Service wheel bearings and seals as
necessary. Install front hub assembly. Install lock nut, and tighten
it to 119 ft. lbs. (165 N.m). Loosen lock nut, and retighten it to 18
ft. lbs. (24 N.m). Loosen lock nut 30-40 degrees. Install lock washer
and screw(s).
2) On 2WD, reverse removal procedure for remaining
components. On 4WD, install drive flange, shim and snap ring. Using
feeler gauge, check axle shaft-to-hub clearance. Clearance should be
0.016-0.028" (0.41-0.71 mm). Use appropriate shim to obtain correct
clearance. Shim is located behind snap ring on end of axle shaft.
Recheck clearance if necessary. Install remaining components.
PARKING BRAKE SHOES
Removal & Installation (Diamante)
1) Raise and support vehicle. Remove rear wheels. Remove rear
disc brake caliper and rotor. If rotor removal is difficult, rotate
rotor until hole in rotor is upward. Back-off brake shoe adjustment
with a flat blade screwdriver through hole in rotor.
2) Disconnect rear speed sensor. See Fig. 9. Remove 4 bolts
and hub. Remove screw and shoe hold-down spring. Remove shoe. To
install, reverse removal procedure. Adjust brake shoe by turning
adjuster star wheel.

WHEEL & TIRE SPECIFICATIONS
Tire specifications are imprinted on the tire side wall. The
recommended cold tire inflation pressures are listed on a label
attached to the rear face of the driver's door. These pressures
provide the best combination of ride comfort, tire wear and stability
under normal conditions.
CAUTION: DO NOT mix tires of different design such as radial ply
with bias or bias-belted tires. Mixing tire types will
adversely affect road handling and may lead to loss of
vehicle control. When using snow tires, they must be used
in set of four for maneuverability and safety. DO NOT use
tire chains on front wheels.

WHEEL TIGHTENING

Tighten wheel lug nuts to 72-87 ft. lbs. (100-120 N.m).
BATTERY SPECIFICATIONS
CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with
computers may lose memory data. When battery power is
restored, driveability problems may exist on some vehicles.
These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See
COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in the GENERAL
INFORMATION Section.
Battery is maintenance-free and does not normally require
additional water. However, under severe conditions it is advisable to
check battery fluid periodically. Use only distilled water to fill
battery cell should it become necessary to add water. Charge condition
can be checked by a visual test indicator on top of battery.
CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (AIR BAG)
NOTE: See the AIR BAGS article in the ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Section.
Modifications or improper maintenance, including incorrect
removal and installation of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),
can adversely affect system performance. DO NOT cover, obstruct or
change the steering wheel horn pad in any way, as such action could
cause improper function of the system. Use only plain water when
cleaning the horn pad. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the
air bag cover and cause improper deployment of the system.
WARNING: Service on or around Air Bag System Components or Wiring must
be preformed only by an authorized Suzuki dealer. Please
observe all WARNINGS and SERVICE PRECAUTIONS.
WARNING: Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position and
the cable is disconnected from the battery.
WARNING: Never attempt to disassemble or repair the passenger air
bag (inflator) module. If any abnormality is found, be sure
to replace it with new one as an assembly.
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
carefully follow all warnings and service precautions. See
appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in the
ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT section.
CAUTION: Disconnect negative battery cable before servicing any air
bag system, steering column or passenger side dash
component. After any repair, turn ignition key to the ON
position from passenger's side of vehicle in case of
accidental air bag inflation

WARNING: Avoid breathing R-134a refrigerant and PAG lubricant vapors,
exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat. To remove
R-134a from system use R-134a recycling equipment that meets
