DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PROPORTIONING
VALVE (HEIGHT SENSING)
CAUTION: The use of aftermarket load leveling or
load capacity increasing devices on this vehicle is
prohibited. Using air shock absorbers or helper
springs on this vehicle will cause the height sens-
ing proportioning valve to inappropriately reduce
the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes. This inap-
propriate reduction in hydraulic pressure potentially
could result in increased stopping distance of the
vehicle.
When a premature rear wheel skid is obtained on a
brake application, it may be an indication that the
hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes is above the
specified output from the proportioning valve. This
condition indicates a possible malfunction of the
height sensing proportioning valve, which will
require testing to verify that it is properly controlling
the hydraulic pressure allowed to the rear brakes.
Premature rear wheel skid may also be caused by
contaminated front or rear brake linings.
Prior to testing a proportioning valve for function,
check that all tire pressures are correct. Also, ensure
the front and rear brake linings are in satisfactory
condition.It is also necessary to verify that the
brakes shoe assemblies on a vehicle being
tested are either original equipment manufac-
turers (OEM) or original replacement brake
shoe assemblies meeting the OEM lining mate-
rial specification. This vehicles brake system is
not balanced for aftermarket brake shoe assem-
bly lining material.
If both front and rear brakes check OK, proceed
with the following test procedure for the height sens-
ing proportioning valve.
(1) Road test the vehicle to determine which rear
wheel brake is exhibiting premature wheel skid.
(2) Raise vehicle. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE)
(3) Remove the chassis brake tube going to the
rear brake in question at the proportioning valve.
Remove the chassis brake tube coming from the junc-
tion block at the proportioning valve (Fig. 81).
(4) Install the appropriate fittings from Pressure
Test Fittings, Special Tool 6833, into the open ports
of the proportioning valve.(5) Install the previously removed brake lines into
the Pressure Test Fittings. Tighten all tube nuts to
17 N´m (145 in. lbs.).
(6) Install a pressure gauge from Gauge Set, Spe-
cial Tool C-4007-A into the open port on each pres-
sure test fitting. Bleed air out of hose from pressure
test fittings to pressure gauges at the pressure
gauges. Then bleed air out of the brake line being
tested at that rear wheel brake bleeder.
NOTE: Actuator rod is a linear spring and is meant
to flex by design. When rod is raised, it will have
some curvature to it.
(7) Remove the screw fastening the proportioning
valve actuator rod bracket to the rear axle. Raise the
actuator lever to the full-upward position and hold it
there.
(8) With the aid of a helper, apply pressure to the
brake pedal until a pressure of 6895 kPa (1000 psi) is
obtained on the proportioning valve inlet gauge.
Then, based on the type of brake system the vehicle
is equipped with and the pressure specification
shown on the following table, compare the pressure
reading on the outlet gauge to the specification. If
outlet pressure at the proportioning valve is not
within specification when required inlet pressure is
obtained, replace the proportioning valve. (Refer to 5
- BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/PROPOR-
TIONING VALVE - REMOVAL)
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the height sens-
ing proportioning valve. If found to be defective,
replace the valve.
(9) Remove the pressure test fittings and pressure
gauges from the proportioning valve.
(10) Install the chassis brake lines in the correct
ports of the proportioning valve. Tighten all tube
nuts to 17 N´m (145 in. lbs.).
(11) If necessary, repeat the above steps on the
remaining side of the proportioning valve which con-
trol the other rear wheel brake.
(12) Attach the actuator lever and bracket to the
rear axle.
(13) Bleed rear brakes. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES -
STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(14) Road test vehicle.

Minimum allowable thickness is the minimum
thickness which the brake rotor machined surface
may be cut to.
CAUTION: Do not machine the rotor if it will cause
the rotor to fall below minimum thickness.
Before installation, verify the brake rotor face and
the hub adapters are free of any chips, rust, or con-
tamination.
When mounting and using the brake lathe, strict
attention to the brake lathe manufacturer's operating
instructions is required.
Machine both sides of the brake rotor at the same
time. Cutting both sides at the same time minimizes
the possibility of a tapered or uneven cut.
When refacing a rotor, the required TIR (Total
Indicator Reading) and thickness variation limits
MUST BE MAINTAINED. Extreme care in the oper-
ation of rotor turning equipment is required. Specifi-
cations for brake rotor machining can be found in
this section's specification table. (Refer to 5 -

CAUTION
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.
CAUTION: In testing for open or short circuits, do
not ground or apply voltage to any of the circuits
unless instructed to do so for a diagnostic proce-
dure.
CAUTION: These circuits should only be tested
using a high impedance multi-meter or the DRBIIIT
scan tool 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: The CAB 24-way connector should never
be connected or disconnected with the ignition
switch in the ON position.
CAUTION: This vehicle utilizes active wheel speed
sensors. Do not apply voltage to wheel speed sen-
sors at any time.
CAUTION: Use only factory wiring harnesses. Do
not cut or splice wiring to the brake circuits. The
addition of aftermarket electrical equipment (car
phone, radar detector, citizen band radio, trailer
lighting, trailer brakes, etc.) on a vehicle equipped
with antilock brakes may affect the function of the
antilock brake system.
CAUTION: When performing any service procedure
on a vehicle equipped with ABS, do not apply a
12-volt power source to the ground circuit of the
pump motor in the HCU. Doing this will damage the
pump motor and will require replacement of the
entire HCU.
CAUTION: An attempt to remove or disconnect cer-
tain system components may result in improper
system operation. Only those components with
approved removal and installation procedures in
this manual should be serviced.
CAUTION: If welding work is to be performed on the
vehicle using an electric arc welder, the CAB con-nector should be disconnected during the welding
operation.
CAUTION: Many components of the ABS System
are not serviceable and must be replaced as an
assembly. Do not disassemble any component
which is not designed to be serviced.
CAUTION: Only the recommended jacking or hoist-
ing positions for this vehicle are to be used when-
ever it is necessary to lift a vehicle. Failure to raise
a vehicle from the recommended locations could
result in lifting a vehicle by the hydraulic control
unit mounting bracket. Lifting a vehicle by the
hydraulic control unit mounting bracket will result
in damage to the mounting bracket and the hydrau-
lic control unit.
CAUTION: Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces.
If brake fluid is spilled on any painted surface,
wash off with water immediately.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ANTILOCK BRAKE
SYSTEM BLEEDING
The base brake's hydraulic system must be bled
anytime air enters the hydraulic system. The ABS
though, particularly the ICU (HCU), should only be
bled when the HCU is replaced or removed from the
vehicle. The ABS must always be bled anytime it is
suspected that the HCU has ingested air. Under
most circumstances that require the bleeding of the
brakes hydraulic system, only the base brake
hydraulic 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 the brake bleeding procedure, be sure the
brake fluid level remains close to the FULL level in
the master cylinder fluid reservoir. Check the fluid
level periodically during the bleeding procedure and
add DOT 3 brake fluid as required.
The ABS must be bled as two independent braking
systems. The non-ABS portion of the brake system
with ABS is to be bled the same as any non-ABS sys-
tem.
The ABS portion of the brake system must be bled
separately. Use the following procedure to properly
bleed the brake hydraulic system including the ABS.
BLEEDING
When bleeding the ABS system, the following
bleeding sequence must be followed to insure com-
plete and adequate bleeding.
5 - 90 BRAKES - ABSRS
BRAKES - ABS (Continued)

(21) Bleed the Base and ABS brake hydraulic sys-
tems (Refer to 5 - BRAKES - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).
(22) Road test vehicle to ensure proper operation
of the base and antilock brake systems.
INSTALLATION - RHD
(1) Install the ICU on the mounting bracket (Fig.
21). Install the 3 bolts (Fig. 21) attaching the ICU to
the mounting bracket. Tighten the 3 mounting bolts
to a torque of 11 N´m (97 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: The ICU mounting bracket to front sus-
pension cradle mounting bolts have a unique corro-
sion protection coating and a special aluminum
washer. For this reason, only the original, or origi-
nal equipment Mopar replacement bolts can be
used to mount the ICU bracket to the front suspen-
sion crossmember.
(2) Install the ICU and its mounting bracket as an
assembly on the front suspension crossmember.
Install the 3 bolts attaching the ICU bracket to the
crossmember (Fig. 20). Tighten the 3 mounting bolts
to a torque of 28 N´m (250 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Because of the flexible section in the pri-
mary and secondary brake tubes, and the brake
tubes between the HCU and the proportioning
valve, the brake tubes must be held in proper ori-
entation when tightened and torqued. These tubes
must not contact each other or other vehicle com-
ponents when installed. Also, after the brake tubes
are installed on the HCU, ensure all spacer clips are
reinstalled on the brake tubes.
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. Refer to (Fig. 19) for the correct chassis
brake tube locations.
NOTE: The chassis brake tube attachment locations
to the HCU, are marked on the bottom of the ICU
mounting bracket.
(3) Install the 6 chassis brake tubes into their cor-
rect port locations on the HCU valve block as shown
in (Fig. 19). 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.(4) Install the 24-way connector (Fig. 17) on the
CAB using the following procedure. Position the
24-way connector in the socket of the CAB and care-
fully push it down as far as possible. When connector
is fully seated by hand into the CAB socket, push in
the connector lock (Fig. 18). This will pull the connec-
tor into the socket of the CAB and lock it in the
installed position.
NOTE: The CAB wiring harness must be clipped to
the ICU mounting bracket. This will ensure the wir-
ing harness is properly routed and does not contact
the brake tubes or the body of the vehicle.
(5) Clip the cab wiring harness (Fig. 17) to the
ICU mounting bracket.
(6) Install the routing clips (Fig. 25) on the brake
tubes.
(7) Lower the vehicle.
(8) Connect negative cable back on negative post of
the battery.
(9) Bleed the base and ABS hydraulic systems.
