2. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1) Cleanliness And Care
An automobile engine is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped
surfaces with tolerances that are measured in the ten-thousanths of an inch. When any internal
engine parts are serviced, care and cleanliness are important. A liberal coating of enigne oil
should be applied to friction areas during assembly, to protect and lubricate the surfaces on
initial operation.
Proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the repai
r
procedure. This is considered standard shop practice even if not specifically stated.
Whenever valve train components are removed for service, they should be kept in order.
They should be installed in the same locations, and with the same mating surfaces, as when
they were removed. Battery cables should be disconnected before any major work is performed
on the engine. Failure to disconnect cables may result in damage to wire harness or othe
r
electrical parts.
2) On-Engine Service
Disconnect the negative battery cable before removing or installing any electrical unit, or
when a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with exposed electrical terminals.
Disconnecting this cable will help prevent personal injury and damage to the vehicle.
The ignition must also be in LOCK unless otherwise noted.
Notice Any time the air cleaner is removed, the intake opening -
Any time the air cleaner is removed, the intake opening should be covered. This will
protect against accidental entrance of foreign material, which could follow the intake
passage into the cylinder and cause extensive damage when the engine is started.g -

3. ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
(1) Electronic system service precautions
Take care to avoid electronic brake control module (HECU) circuit overloading. In testing for
opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any circuit unless instructed to do so by the
diagnostic procedure. Test circuits only with a high-impedance multi-meter. Never remove o
r
apply power to any control module with the ignition switch in the ON position. Always turn the
ignition to the OFF position before removing or connecting battery cables, fuses or connectors.
(2) General service precautions
Disconnect the HECU connector before performing any vehicle welding work using an electric
arc welder. Do not attempt to disassemble any component designated as nonserviceable. The
hydraulic modulator and the HECU can be seperated. (There is however no access to repai
r
the each components.)
(3) Bleeding system
Replacement modulators are shipped already filled and bled. In normal procedures requiring
removal of the modulator, such as to replace the HECU, air will not enter the modulator, and
normal bleeding will be all that is needed.
If air enters the hydraulic modulator, or if an unfilled modulator is installed, use the brake
bleeding program in the scan tool to bleed the modulator. Manual bleeding of the hydraulic
modulator is not possible.
1) Service Precautions
Brake Fluid may irritate eyes and skin. In case of contact, take the following actions:
Eye contact - rinse thoroughly with water.
Skin contact - wash with soap and water.
Ingestion - consult a physician immediately. -

To help avoid personal injury due to poor braking. DO NOT Tap into the vehicle’s
brake system to operate a trailer brake system.
When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which they
were removed. If a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener
for is not available, a fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger) may be used.
Fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread-locking compound will be
called out. The correct torque values must be used when installing fasteners that require
them. If the above procedures are not followed, parts or system damage could result.
