BLEEDING
When bleeding the ABS system, the following
bleeding sequence must be followed to insure com-
plete and adequate bleeding.
(1) Make sure all hydraulic fluid lines are installed
and properly torqued.
(2) Connect the DRBIIItscan tool to the diagnos-
tics connector. The diagnostic connector is located
under the lower steering column cover to the left of
the steering column.
(3) Using the DRB, check to make sure the CAB
does not have any fault codes stored. If it does, clear
them using the DRB.
WARNING:
WHEN BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. A CLEAR BLEED TUBE
MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE BLEEDER SCREWS
AND SUBMERGED IN A CLEAR CONTAINER FILLED
PART WAY WITH CLEAN BRAKE FLUID. DIRECT THE
FLOW OF BRAKE FLUID AWAY FROM YOURSELF
AND 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. (Refer
to 5 - BRAKES - BASE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(5) Using the DRB, select ANTILOCK BRAKES,
followed by MISCELLANEOUS, then BLEED
BRAKES. Follow the instructions displayed. When
the scan tool displays TEST COMPLETED, discon-
nect the scan tool and proceed.
(6) Bleed the base brake system a second time.
Check brake fluid level in the reservoir periodically
to prevent emptying, causing air to enter the hydrau-
lic system.
(7) Fill the master cylinder reservoir to the full
level.
(8) Test drive the vehicle to be sure the brakes are
operating correctly and that the brake pedal does not
feel spongy.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Proper installation of wheel speed sen-
sor cables is critical to continued system operation.
Be sure that cables are installed in retainers. Fail-
ure to install cables in retainers as shown in this
section may result in contact with moving parts and
over extension of cables, resulting in an open cir-
cuit.
(1) Connect the front wheel speed sensor cable to
the vehicle wiring harness connector. Be sure speed
sensor cable connector is fully seated and locked into
vehicle wiring harness connector.

from vehicle wiring harness be careful not to dam-
age pins on the electrical connectors. Also, inspect
connectors for any signs of previous damage.
(2) Remove grommet from floor pan of vehicle and
disconnect speed sensor cable connector from vehicle
wiring harness.
CAUTION: When removing rear wheel speed sensor
cable from routing clips, be sure not to damage the
routing clips. Routing clips that are molded onto
the brake hose will require replacement of the brake
hose if damaged during removal or installation of
the speed sensor cable.
(3) Carefully remove speed sensor cable from
press-in routing clips along brake hose and tubing.(4) Remove bolt securing wheel speed sensor cable
metal clip to rear of axle. Remove metal clip from
cable if necessary.

punch and tap mounting flange edge side-to-side,
rocking the sensor until free.
(5) Remove wheel speed sensor head attaching
bolt.
(6) Remove wheel speed sensor head from the axle,
and remove sensor from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Proper installation of wheel speed sen-
sor cables is critical to continued system operation.
Be sure that cables are installed in retainers. Fail-
ure to install cables in retainers as indicated may
result in contact with moving parts or over-exten-
sion of cables, resulting in an open circuit.
(1) Install wheel speed sensor head in axle flange.
CAUTION: Prior to installing the speed sensor head
attaching bolt, the plastic anti-rotation pin must be
fully seated into the bearing flange.

wheel speed sensor and the top surface of the tone
wheel. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES - SPECIFICATIONS)
CAUTION: When installing wheel speed sensor
cable in the routing clips on rear brake flex hose,
be sure not to damage the routing clips. Routing
clips are molded onto the hose and will require
replacement of the brake hose if damaged.
(4) Install speed sensor cable under leaf spring
onto brake hose and tubing utilizing routing clips to
secure it in place.
(5) Install metal routing clip on speed sensor cable
and mount it to rear of axle with mounting bolt.
Tighten mounting bolt to 16 N´m (140 in. lbs.).
(6) Connect wheel speed sensor cable to vehicle

(2) Using a brake pedal depressor, move and lock
the brake pedal to a position past the first inch of
pedal travel.This will prevent brake fluid from
draining out of the master cylinder when the
brake tubes are removed from the HCU.
(3) Raise vehicle. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE)
(4) Remove the routing clip attaching the ICU wir-
ing harness to the ICU mounting bracket (Fig. 17).
CAUTION: Do not apply a 12 volt power source to
any terminals of the HCU connector when discon-
nected.
(5) Remove the 24-way connector (Fig. 17) from
the CAB. The 24-way connector is removed from the
CAB using the following procedure. Grasp the lock
on the 24-way connector (Fig. 17) and pull it as far
out as possible (Fig. 18). This will raise and unlock
the 24-way connector from the socket on the CAB.
CAUTION: Before removing the brake tubes from
the HCU, the HCU must be thoroughly cleaned. This
must be done to prevent dirt particles from falling
into the ports of HCU or entering the brake tubes.(6) Thoroughly clean all surfaces of the HCU, and
all brake tube nuts located on the HCU. Use only a
solvent such as Mopar Brake Parts Cleaner or an
equivalent to clean the HCU.
(7) Remove the brake tubes (6) from the inlet and
outlet ports on the HCU. (Fig. 19).

STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLING SYSTEM
FILLING
Remove radiator pressure cap (Fig. 6) and fill sys-
tem, using a 50/50 mix of MopartAntifreeze/Coolant,
5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula and distilled water.
Continue filling system until full.Be careful not
to spill coolant on drive belts or the generator.
For cooling system capacity, (Refer to LUBRICATION
& MAINTENANCE/FLUID CAPACITIES - SPECIFI-
CATIONS).
Fill coolant recovery/reserve container (Fig. 6) to at
least the MAX mark with 50/50 solution. It may be
necessary to add coolant to the recovery/reserve con-
tainer after three or four warm up/cool down cycles
to maintain coolant level between the MAX and MIN
mark. This will allow trapped air to be removed from
the system.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ADDING
ADDITIONAL COOLANT
The radiator cap should not be removed.
When additional coolant is needed to maintain this
level, it should be added to the coolant recovery/re-
serve container (Fig. 6). Use only 50/50 mix of ethyl-
ene glycol type antifreeze and distilled water. For the
recommeded antifreeze/coolant type (Refer to LUBRI-
CATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES -
DESCRIPTION).
CAUTION: Do not use well water, or suspect water
supply in cooling system. A 50/50 ethylene glycol
and distilled water mix is recommended. For the
recommeded antifreeze/coolant type (Refer to
LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES -
DESCRIPTION).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLANT LEVEL
CHECK
NOTE: Do not remove radiator cap for routine cool-
ant level inspections.
The coolant reserve system provides a quick visual
method for determining the coolant level without
removing the radiator cap.With the engine cold
and not running,simply observe the level of the
coolant in the recovery/reserve container (Fig. 6). The
coolant level should be between the MIN and MAX
marks.
