7. Check the Transmission fluid and adjust if necessary. Refer to the Service Information for the
proper Fluid Fill procedure.
8. NOTE: If internal repairs were performed and the shift quality is still poor, it may
be necessary to check the internal repair. Also check for any TSBs and/or Controller
Flash updates that may apply.
9. ROAD TEST PROCEDURE
10. Road test the vehicle. Make fifteen to twenty 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 upshifts.
11. Perform these shifts from a standing start to 72 km/h (45 MPH) with a constant throttle
opening of 20 to 25 degrees.
12. With speeds below 40 km/h (25 MPH), make five to eight wide open throttle kickdowns to
1st gear. Allow at least 5 seconds each in 2nd and 3rd gear between each kickdown.
13. With the DRBIIIt, read Transmission DTCs.
Were there any Diagnostic Trouble Codes set?All
Ye s!Repair is not complete, refer to appropriate symptom.
No!Repair is complete.
ROAD TEST VERIFICATION - VER-2 APPLICABILITY
1. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all engine components are properly installed and
connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary.
2. If this verification procedure is being performed after a non-DTC test, perform steps 3 and
4.
3. Check to see if the initial symptom still exists. If there are no trouble codes and the symptom
no longer exists, the repair was successful and testing is now complete.
4. If the initial or another symptom exists, the repair is not complete. Check all pertinent
Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and return to the Symptom List if necessary.
5. For previously read DTCs that have not been dealt with, return to the Symptom List and
follow the diagnostic path for that DTC; otherwise, continue.
6. If the Engine Control Module (ECM) has not been changed, perform steps 7 and 8, otherwise,
continue with step 9.
7. With the DRB IIIt, erase all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), then disconnect the DRB IIIt.

step 11.
10. With the ignition switch on, place the Transfer Case Shift Lever in each gear position,
stopping for 15 seconds in each position.
11. Ensure no DTCs remain by performing steps 12 through 15.
12. Road test the vehicle. For some of the road test, go at least 64 km/h (40 MPH). If this test
is for an A/C Relay Control Circuit, drive the vehicle for at least 5 minutes with the A/C on.
13. At some point, stop the vehicle and turn the engine off for at least 10 seconds, then restart
the engine and continue.
14. Upon completion of the road test, turn the engine off and check for DTCs with the DRB IIIt.
15. If the repaired DTC has set again, the repair is not complete. Check for any pertinent
Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and return to the Symptom List. If there are no DTCs, the
repair was successful and is now complete.

3.7.1 ABS AND TCS (ASR) INDICATORS
This system is equipped with an ABS warning
indicator, TCS (ASR) warning indicator, and TCS
(ASR) event indicator to alert the driver of a
malfunction/event it has detected. The CAB can
request the illumination of the ABS warning indi-
cator, TCS (ASR) warning indicator, and TCS (ASR)
event indicator via CAN C BUS. The CAB controls
the ABS warning indicator by:
²Light steady during an initial test at the begin-
ning of an ignition cycle to function as a bulb
check
²Light steady when a system malfunction exists
(DTC)
²Light steady - If you have not met the speed
required to reset/retest the ABS components
The Instrument Cluster (IC) controls the indica-
tors. The Instrument Cluster transmits a message
over the CAN C Bus relating to diagnostics and
current lamp status for the ABS and TCS (ASR)
indicators. The CAB can control the operation of
TCS warning and TCS event indicators by:
²Both light steady with engine off and both go out
with engine running
²TCS warning indicator lights steady when a TCS
malfunction exists
²TCS event indicator will flash when TCS is in an
active event
3.7.2 CONTROLLER ANTILOCK BRAKE
(CAB)
The CAB is mounted directly to the Hydraulic
Control Unit (HCU) that includes a microprocessor
and twelve solenoids that control valves that con-trol brake pressure during antilock braking or trac-
tion control events. The CAB also has circuits that
monitor the following:
²Double brake switch outputs are monitored to
determine whether or not to prepare for possible
ABS braking
²Wheel Speed Sensors are monitored to determine
when a wheel is tending to lock up. The CAB will
operate the valves in the HCU to control braking
pressure during ABS braking
²Detect ABS system related problems and take
diagnostic action
²Able to execute self-tests and output control com-
mands
When equipped with Electronic Stability (ESP),
the CAB also monitors the following:
²The ESP looks at the Steering Angle Sensor value
and monitors the speed of the inner and outer
wheels to ensure that the values are plausible.
The Steering Angle Sensor also monitors the
speed that the steering wheel is turned.
²The Lateral Acceleration/Yaw Rate Sensor is con-
tained in one unit. The sensor measures side to
side (lateral) motion and rotational motion (how
fast the vehicle is turning).
²The ESP uses data from the Brake Pressure
Sensor to analyze how hard and fast that the
driver wants to brake.
3.7.3 HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU)
The HCU on the Bosch 5.7 has an integral valve
body for controlling the front and rear brakes.
Within the HCU are inlet, outlet, and shuttle
valves, to release brake pressure as required to
avoid wheel lockup, keeping the wheels rolling, and
maintain optimum deceleration with stability. The
Pump Motor is attached to the HCU which works
with the ABS and TCS and is controlled by the
CAB. The primary function is to provide extra
amount of fluid when needed.
3.7.4 SWITCHES/SENSORS
BRAKE SWITCH (BS):This switch prepares the
CAB for a possible antilock event. The CAB uses an
output state voltage from the BS when the brake
pedal is either released/depressed. The Fused Igni-
tion Switch Output circuit supplies 12 volts to the
BS. A released brake pedal will close the BS circuit
and the BS Output circuit supplies 12 volts to the
CAB. When the driver depresses the brake pedal,
the BS Output circuit voltage drops to 0 volts and
the CAB senses the brake pedal state. This tells the
CAB what position the brake pedal is currently in to
make an ABS event possible. When using the
DRBIIItin Inputs/Outputs, the BS and BLS will

3.9.1 DRBIIITDOES NOT POWER UP
(BLANK SCREEN)
If the LED's do not light or no sound is emitted at
start up, check for loose cable connections or a bad
cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage (data link
16-way connector cavity 16). A minimum of 11 volts
is required to adequately power the DRBIIIt. Also
check for a good ground at DLC.
If all connections are proper between the
DRBIIItand the vehicle or other devices, and the
vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative
DRBIIItmay be the result or a faulty cable or
vehicle wiring.
3.9.2 DISPLAY IS NOT VISIBLE
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the

condition.
4.0 DISCLAIMERS, SAFETY,
WARNINGS
4.1 DISCLAIMERS
All information, illustrations, and specifications
contained in this manual are based on the latestinformation available at the time of publication.
The right is reserved to make changes at any time
without notice.
4.2 SAFETY
4.2.1 TECHNICIAN SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: ENGINES PRODUCE CARBON
MONOXIDE THAT IS ODORLESS, CAUSES
SLOWER REACTION TIME, AND CAN LEAD
TO SERIOUS INJURY. WHEN THE ENGINE IS
OPERATING, KEEP SERVICE AREAS WELL
VENTILATED OR ATTACH THE VEHICLE
EXHAUST SYSTEM TO THE SHOP EXHAUST
REMOVAL SYSTEM.
Set the parking brake and block the wheels before
testing or repairing the vehicle. It is especially
important to block the wheels on front-wheel drive
vehicles; the parking brake does not hold the front
drive wheels.
When servicing a vehicle, always wear eye pro-
tection, and remove any metal jewelry such as
watchbands or bracelets that might make an inad-
vertent electrical contact.
When diagnosing an antilock brake or adjustable
pedals system problem, it is important to follow
approved procedures where applicable. These pro-
cedures can be found in the service manual. Follow-
ing these procedures is very important to safety of
individuals performing diagnostic tests.
4.2.2 VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR
TESTING
Make sure the vehicle being tested has a fully
charged battery. If it does not, false diagnostic codes
or error messages may occur.
4.2.3 SERVICING SUB-ASSEMBLIES
Some components of the antilock brake and trac-
tion control are intended to be serviced in assembly
only. Attempting to remove or repair certain sub-
components may result in personal injury and/or
improper system operation. Only those components
with approved repair and installation procedures in
the service manual should be serviced.
