BRAKES - ABS
DESCRIPTION
ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
The purpose of the antilock system is to prevent
wheel lockup during periods of high wheel slip. Pre-
venting lockup helps maintain vehicle braking action
and steering control.
The antilock CAB activates the system whenever
sensor signals indicate periods of high wheel slip.
High wheel slip can be described as the point where
wheel rotation begins approaching 20 to 30 percent of
actual vehicle speed during braking. Periods of high
wheel slip occur when brake stops involve high pedal
pressure and rate of vehicle deceleration.
Battery voltage is supplied to the CAB ignition ter-
minal when the ignition switch is turned to Run posi-
tion. The CAB performs a system initialization
procedure at this point. Initialization consists of a
static and dynamic self check of system electrical
components.
The static check occurs after the ignition switch is
turned to Run position. The dynamic check occurs
when vehicle road speed reaches approximately 30
kph (18 mph). During the dynamic check, the CAB
briefly cycles the pump and solenoids to verify oper-
ation.
If an ABS component exhibits a fault during ini-
tialization, the CAB illuminates the amber warning
light and registers a fault code in the microprocessor
memory.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE DISTRIBUTION
The electronic brake distribution (EBD) functions
like a rear proportioning valve. The EBD system usesthe ABS system to control the slip of the rear wheels
in partial braking range. The braking force of the
rear wheels is controlled electronically by using the
inlet and outlet valves located in the HCU.
OPERATION
ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
During normal braking, the master cylinder, power
booster and wheel brake units all function as they
would in a vehicle without ABS. The HCU compo-
nents are not activated.
During antilock braking fluid pressure is modu-
lated according to wheel speed, degree of slip and
rate of deceleration. A sensor at each wheel converts
wheel speed into electrical signals. These signals are
transmitted to the CAB for processing and determi-
nation of wheel slip and deceleration rate.
The ABS system has three fluid pressure control
channels. The front brakes are controlled separately
and the rear brakes in tandem. A speed sensor input
signal indicating a high slip condition activates the
CAB antilock program. Two solenoid valves are used
in each antilock control channel. The valves are all
located within the HCU valve body and work in pairs
to either increase, hold, or decrease apply pressure as
needed in the individual control channels. The sole-
noid valves are not static during antilock braking.
They are cycled continuously to modulate pressure.
Solenoid cycle time in antilock mode can be mea-
sured in milliseconds.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE DISTRIBUTION
Upon entry into EBD the inlet valve for the rear
brake circuit is switched on so that the fluid supply
from the master cylinder is shut off. In order to
decrease the rear brake pressure the outlet valve for
5 - 32 BRAKES - ABSKJ

the rear brake circuit is pulsed. This allows fluid to
enter the low pressure accumulator (LPA) in the
HCU resulting in a drop in fluid pressure to the rear
brakes. In order to increase the rear brake pressure
the outlet valve is switched off and the inlet valve is
pulsed. This increases the pressure to the rear
brakes. This will continue until the required slip dif-
ference is obtained. At the end of EBD braking (no
brake application) the fluid in the LPA drains back to
the master cylinder by switching on the outlet valve
and draining through the inlet valve check valve. At
the same time the inlet valve is switched on to pre-
vent a hydraulic short circiut in case of another
brake application.The EBD will remain functional
during many ABS fault modes. If the red and amber
warning lamps are illuminated the EBD may have a
fault.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ANTILOCK
BRAKING SYSTEM
The ABS brake system performs several self-tests
every time the ignition switch is turned on and the
vehicle is driven. The CAB monitors the systems
input and output circuits to verify the system is oper-
ating correctly. If the on board diagnostic system
senses that a circuit is malfunctioning the system
will set a trouble code in its memory.
NOTE: An audible noise may be heard during the
self-test. This noise should be considered normal.NOTE: The MDS or DRB III scan tool is used to
diagnose the ABS system. For additional informa-
tion refer to the Electrical, Electronic Control Mod-
ules section. For test procedures refer to the
Chassis Diagnostic Manual.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ABS BRAKE
BLEEDING
ABS system bleeding requires conventional bleed-
ing methods plus use of the DRB scan tool. The pro-
cedure involves performing a base brake bleeding,
followed by use of the scan tool to cycle and bleed the
HCU pump and solenoids. A second base brake bleed-
ing procedure is then required to remove any air
remaining in the system.
(1) Perform base brake bleeding,(Refer to 5 -
BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE) OR (Refer to
5 - BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(2) Connect scan tool to the Data Link Connector.
(3) Select ANTILOCK BRAKES, followed by MIS-
CELLANEOUS, then ABS BRAKES. Follow the
instructions displayed. When scan tool displays TEST
COMPLETE, disconnect scan tool and proceed.
(4) Perform base brake bleeding a second time,(Re-
fer to 5 - BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE) OR
(Refer to 5 - BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(5) Top off master cylinder fluid level and verify
proper brake operation before moving vehicle.

ELECTRICAL
DESCRIPTION
Three wheel speed sensors are used. The front sen-
sors are mounted to the steering knuckles. The rear
sensor is mounted at the top of the rear axle differ-
ential carrier. Tone wheels are mounted to the out-
board ends of the front axle shafts. The gear type
tone wheel serves as the trigger mechanism for each
sensor.
OPERATION
The sensors convert wheel speed into a small digi-
tal signal. The CAB sends 12 volts to the sensors.
The sensor has an internal magneto resistance
bridge that alters the voltage and amperage of the
signal circuit. This voltage and amperage is changed
by magnetic induction when the toothed tone wheel
passes the wheel speed sensor. This digital signal is
sent to the CAB. The CAB measures the voltage and
amperage of the digital signal for each wheel.

HCU (HYDRAULIC CONTROL
UNIT)
DESCRIPTION
The HCU consists of a valve body, pump motor,
and wire harness.
OPERATION
Accumulators in the valve body store extra fluid
released to the system for ABS mode operation. The
pump provides the fluid volume needed and is oper-
ated by a DC type motor. The motor is controlled by
the CAB.The valves modulate brake pressure during
antilock braking and are controlled by the CAB.
The HCU provides three channel pressure control
to the front and rear brakes. One channel controls
the rear wheel brakes in tandem. The two remaining
channels control the front wheel brakes individually.
During antilock braking, the solenoid valves are
opened and closed as needed. The valves are not
static. They are cycled rapidly and continuously to
modulate pressure and control wheel slip and decel-
eration.
During normal braking, the HCU solenoid valves
and pump are not activated. The master cylinder and
power booster operate the same as a vehicle without
an ABS brake system.
During antilock braking, solenoid valve pressure
modulation occurs in three stages, pressure increase,
pressure hold, and pressure decrease. The valves are
all contained in the valve body portion of the HCU.
PRESSURE DECREASE
The outlet valve is opened and the inlet valve is
closed during the pressure decrease cycle.
A pressure decrease cycle is initiated when speed
sensor signals indicate high wheel slip at one or
more wheels. At this point, the CAB closes the inlet
then opens the outlet valve, which also opens the
return circuit to the accumulators. Fluid pressure is
allowed to bleed off (decrease) as needed to prevent
wheel lock.
Once the period of high wheel slip has ended, the
CAB closes the outlet valve and begins a pressure
increase or hold cycle as needed.
PRESSURE HOLD
Both solenoid valves are closed in the pressure
hold cycle. Fluid apply pressure in the control chan-
nel is maintained at a constant rate. The CAB main-
tains the hold cycle until sensor inputs indicate a
pressure change is necessary.
PRESSURE INCREASE
The inlet valve is open and the outlet valve is
closed during the pressure increase cycle. The pres-
sure increase cycle is used to counteract unequal
wheel speeds. This cycle controls re-application of
fluid apply pressure due to changing road surfaces or
wheel speed.

ever occurs first. The overspeed warning feature is
only enabled on a BCM that has been programmed
with a Middle East Gulf Coast Country (GCC) coun-
try code.
²No Airbag Indicator Message Warning- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short,
ªbong-likeº chime tone and turn on the ªAirbagº indi-
cator when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and a PCI data bus ªAirbagº indicator on or off mes-
sage is not received from the ACM for six consecutive
seconds.
²No Antilock Brake Indicator Message Warn-
ing- The EMIC chime tone generator will generate
one, short, ªbong-likeº chime tone and turn on the
ªABSº indicator when the ignition switch is in the On
position, and a PCI data bus ªABSº indicator on or
off message is not received from the CAB for six con-
secutive seconds.
²No Fuel Level Message Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate one, short, ªbong-
likeº chime tone and turn on the ªLow Fuelº indica-
tor when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and a PCI data bus fuel level message is not received
from the PCM for twelve consecutive seconds.
²Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Pro-
gramming- On vehicles so equipped, the EMIC
chime tone generator will generate a single ªbong-
likeº chime tone when an electronic message is
received over the PCI data bus from the BCM indi-
cating that a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter has been successfully programmed by the
customer into the RKE module memory.
²Sentry Key Immobilizer System Transpon-
der Programming- On vehicles so equipped, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate a single
ªbong-likeº chime tone when an electronic message is
received over PCI data bus message from the Sentry
Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) indicating that the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) has been
placed in the ªCustomer Learnº programming mode,
and again each time a new SKIS transponder has
been successfully programmed by the customer.
²Turn Signal Cancel Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate repetitive ªbong-
likeº chime tones at a slow rate when the vehicle is
driven for a distance of about 3.2 kilometers (about
two miles) with a turn signal indicator flashing. The
EMIC uses an electronic message received over the
PCI data bus from the PCM, and a hard wired input
from the turn signal switch circuitry of the multi-
function switch to determine when to sound the turn
signal cancel warning. The PCM uses internal pro-
gramming and distance pulse information received
over a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input from the
BCM to determine the proper vehicle speed messages
to send to the EMIC. The BCM uses an internallyprogrammed electronic pinion factor and a hard
wired input from the rear wheel speed sensor to cal-
culate the proper distance pulse information to send
to the PCM. The electronic pinion factor represents
the proper tire size and axle ratio information for the
vehicle. These chimes will continue to sound until
the turn signal is turned Off, until the hazard warn-
ing system is turned On, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
²Water-In-Fuel Warning- On vehicles equipped
with a diesel engine, each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, the EMIC chime tone gen-
erator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime tone
the first time an electronic message is received over
the PCI data bus from the PCM requesting ªWater-
in-Fuelº indicator illumination. The PCM uses inter-
nal programming and a hard wired input from the
water-in-fuel sensor to determine the proper water-
in-fuel messages to send to the EMIC. This warning
will only occur once during an ignition cycle.
The EMIC provides chime service for all available
features in the chime warning system. The EMIC
relies upon its internal programming and hard wired
inputs from the turn signal (multi-function) switch,
the washer fluid level switch, and the engine coolant
level sensor (diesel engine only) to provide chime ser-
vice for the turn signal cancel warning, the low
washer fluid warning, and the low coolant warning
respectively. The EMIC relies upon electronic mes-
sage inputs received from other electronic modules
over the PCI data bus network to provide chime ser-
vice for all of the remaining chime warning system
features. Upon receiving the proper inputs, the EMIC
activates the integral chime tone generator to pro-
vide the audible chime warning to the vehicle opera-
tor. The internal programming of the EMIC
determines the priority of each chime request input
that is received, as well as the rate and duration of
each chime tone that is to be generated. See the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more infor-
mation on the features provided by the chime
warning system.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to
the EMIC, as well as other hard wired circuits for
this system may be diagnosed and tested using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However,
conventional diagnostic methods may not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of the EMIC, the PCI data
bus network, or the electronic message inputs used
by the EMIC to provide chime warning system ser-
vice. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the EMIC, the PCI data bus network,
and the electronic message inputs for the chime
warning system requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
