(15) Install the park brake cable into its mounting
hole in the adapter.Be sure all the locking tabs
on the park brake cable retainer are expanded
out to ensure the cable will not pull out of the
adapter.
(16) Install the end of the park brake cable on the
park brake actuator lever (Fig. 113).
(17) Attach park brake cable to adapter using
mounting bolt.

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.

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

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.
(2) Install wheel speed sensor head attaching bolt.
Tighten bolt to a torque 10 N´m (90 in. lbs.).
(3) Check the air gap between the face of the
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

INSTALLATION - LHD
(1) Place the ICU in its bracket below the master
cylinder. Start the upper mounting bolt to hold it in
place.
(2) Inside the vehicle, install the remaining 2
mounting bolts attaching the ICU to the mounting
bracket (Fig. 16). Tighten all 3 mounting bolts to a
torque of 11 N´m (97 in. lbs.).
(3) Install the dash seal and three mounting
screws (Fig. 15).
(4) If equipped, install the silencer on top of the
dash seal (Fig. 15).
(5) Connect the steering shaft coupling and install
the pinch bolt (Fig. 15). Tighten the pinch bolt to 28
N´m (250 in. lbs.).
(6) Remove the steering wheel holder.
CAUTION: Because of the flexible section in the pri-
mary and secondary brake tubes, the brake tubes
must be held in proper orientation when tightened
and torqued. These tubes must not contact eachother or other vehicle components when installed.
Also, after the brake tubes are installed on the HCU,
ensure all spacer clips are reinstalled on the brake
tubes.
(7) Install the primary and secondary brake tubes
into their correct port locations on the HCU valve
block (Fig. 14). Tighten the tube nuts to a torque of
17 N´m (145 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: When installing the chassis brake tubes
on the HCU valve block, they must be located cor-
rectly in the valve block to ensure proper ABS oper-
ation.
NOTE: The chassis brake tube attachment locations
to the HCU, are marked on the bottom of the CAB.
(8) Install the (4) chassis brake tubes into their
correct port locations on the HCU valve block as
shown (Fig. 14). Tighten the tube nuts to a torque of
17 N´m (145 in. lbs.).
NOTE: Before installing the 24±way connector in
the CAB be sure the seal is properly installed in the
connector.
(9) Install the 24±way connector on the CAB by,
first, positioning the 24±way connector in the socket
of the CAB and carefully pushing it down as far as
possible. Once connector is fully seated by hand into
the CAB socket, push down on connector lock. This
will pull the connector into the socket of the CAB
and lock it in the installed position.
(10) Install any routing clips on the brake tubes.
(11) Remove the brake pedal holder.
(12) Install the speed control servo with its mount-
ing nuts.
(13) Connect the wiring harness to the speed con-
trol servo.

TRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/TRAY - INSTALLA-
TION).
(15) Install the screw securing the coolant filler
neck to the battery tray.
(16) Reconnect the vacuum hose connector at the
tank built into the battery tray.
(17) Install the battery (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/BATTERY - INSTALLA-
TION).
(18) Install the battery shield.
(19) Remove the brake pedal holder.
(20) Connect negative cable back on negative post

PRESSURE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Use bleeder tank Special Tool C-3496-B
or equivalent with Adapter, Special Tool 6921, to
pressurize the hydraulic system for bleeding.Follow pressure bleeder manufacturer's instruc-
tions for use of pressure bleeding equipment. (1) Install the Adapter Master Cylinder Pressure
Bleed Cap, Special Tool 6921 on the fluid reservoir of
the master cylinder (Fig. 2). Attach the fluid hose
from the pressure bleeder to the fitting on Special
Tool 6921.
(2) Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleeder screw
at one wheel and feed the hose into a clear jar con-
taining fresh brake fluid. (3) Open the left rear wheel bleeder screw at least
one full turn or more to obtain an adequate flow of
brake fluid.
CAUTION: ªJust crackingº the bleeder screw often
restricts fluid flow, allowing only a slow, weak fluid
discharge of fluid. This practice will NOT get all the
air out. Make sure the bleeder is opened at least 1
full turn when bleeding.
(4) After 4 to 8 ounces of brake fluid has been bled
through the hydraulic system, and an air-free flow is
maintained in the hose and jar, this will indicate a
good bleed of the hydraulic system has been
obtained. (5) Repeat the procedure at all the other remain-
ing bleeder screws. (6) Check pedal travel. If pedal travel is excessive
or has not been improved, enough fluid has not
passed through the system to expel all the trapped
air. Be sure to monitor the fluid level in the pressure bleeder, so it stays at a proper level so air will not
enter the brake system through the master cylinder.
(7) Perform a final adjustment of the rear brake
shoes (when applicable), then test drive vehicle to be
sure brakes are operating correctly and that pedal is
solid.

tioned squarely against the face of the caliper piston.
NOTE: The outboard shoes are different left to
right. They can be identified by a L or R stamped on
the clip.
(5) Install the outboard brake shoe on the disc
brake caliper. Be sure the outboard shoe is positioned
squarely against the outboard fingers of the caliper.
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper
assembly onto the adapter, so the caliper guide pin
bushings do not get damaged by the mounting
bosses.
(6) Carefully lower caliper and brake shoes over
