Brake System - General Information
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
evidence of a brake concern. Check for the brake
warning indicator illumination and the fluid level in
the master cylinder reservoir.
Normal Conditions
The following conditions are considered normal
and are not indications that the brake master
cylinder is in need of service.
- Modern brake systems are not designed to
produce as hard a pedal effort as in the past.
Complaints of light pedal efforts should be
compared to pedal efforts of another vehicle, of
the same model and year.
- During normal operation of the brake the fluid
level in the reservoir will rise during brake
application and fall during release. The net fluid
level
(i.e., after brake application and release)
will remain unchanged.
- A trace of brake fluid will exists on the brake
booster shell below the master cylinder
mounting flange. This results from the normal
lubricating action of the master cylinder bore
end seal.
- The fluid level will fall with brake shoe and lining
wear.
Abnormal Conditions
N0TE:Prior to performing any diagnosis, make
sure the brake system warning indicator is
functional.
Changes in brake pedal feel or travel are indicators
that something could be wrong with the braking system. The diagnostic procedure and techniques
use brake pedal feel, warning indicator illumination
and low brake fluid level as indicators in diagnosing
braking system concerns. The following conditions
are considered abnormal and indicate that the
brake master cylinder is in need of service.
- The brake pedal effort is excessive. This may
be caused by a bind or obstruction in the pedal
.
or linkage, clogged fluid control valve or ( ' insufficient booster vacuum.
- The rear brakes lock up during light pedal force.
This may be caused by incorrect tire pressures,
grease or fluid on the brake shoes and linings,
damaged brake shoes and linings, incorrectly
adjusted parking brake, or damaged or
contaminated brake pressure control valves.
- The brake pedal effort is erratic. This condition
could be caused by a brake booster malfunction,
extreme caliper piston knock back or incorrectly
installed brake shoes and linings.
- The brake warning indicator is ON. This may
be caused by low fluid level, ignition wire routing
too close to the fluid level indicator assembly,
or float assembly damage.
Bypass Condition Test
1. Check the fluid in brake master cylinder. Fill the
brake master cylinder reservoir if low or empty.
2. Observe the fluid level in the brake master
cylinder reservoir. If after several brake
applications, the fluid level remains the same,
measure the wheel turning torque required to
rotate the wheels with the brakes applied as
follows:
Place the transaxle in NEUTRAL and raise and
support the vehicle. REFER to: (1 00-02 Jacking
and Lifting)
Jacking (Description and Operation),
Lifting (Description and Operation).
Apply the brakes with a minimum of 445 N (100
Ib) and hold for approximately 15 seconds. With
the brakes still applied, exert a torque on the front
wheels of 10.1 Nm (75
1b.R). If either wheel rotates,
install a new brake master cylinder. REFER to:
(206-06 Hydraulic Brake Actuation)
- The brake pedal goes down fast. This could be Brake Master Cylinder - RHD (Removal and
caused by an external or internal leak. Installation),
- The brake
pedal eases down slowly. This could Brake Master Cylinder - LHD
(Removal and
be caused by an external or internal leak. Installation).
- The
brake pedal is low and or feels spongy. This
condition may be caused by no fluid in the brake
Non-Pressure Leaks master cylinder reservoir, reservoir cap vent
holes clogged or air in the hydraulic system.
Any empty brake master cylinder reservoir
condition may be caused by two types of
non-pressure external leaks.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Anti-Lock Control
Overview
Function
The ABS is a closed loop control system in the
brake system which prevents the wheels from

Wheel
speed sensors
In addition to the conventional brake system with
two diagonally split brake circuits, the ABS consists
of an ABS hydraulic unit with integrated control
unit, four wheel sensors and the ABS warning lamp
in the instrument cluster. locking up under
braking and therefore maintains
steerability and driving stability in extreme
Electronic brake force distribution is integrated in
the software of the ABS control unit', which
electronically regulates and optimises the pressure
applied to the wheel brakes on the front and rear
axles in accordance with the operating conditions.
ABS control unit
The ABS control unit continuously compares stored
physical deceleration values with those detected
by the wheel sensors. This allows the lock-up
tendency of each wheel to be detected separately.
If the ABS control unit detects that a wheel is
threatening to lock up, then the corresponding
hydraulic valves in the valve block are either closed
or opened.
The ABS control unit then also passes on the
vehicle speed signal obtained from the wheel sensors to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

206-09A-4 Anti-Lock Control 206-09A-4
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The warning lamp in the instrument cluster is
actuated by the ABS control unit after switching on
the ignition. It remains on up to the end of the ABS
self-test, and is also actuated in the event of
system errors.
It continuously monitors the system for possible
faults and stores these as and when they occur.
The corresponding trouble codes can be
interrogated with the aid of WDS via the DLC
.
The ABS control unit is directly connected via a
diagnostic data link to the DLC.
Valve block
The valve block contains four inlet valves and four
outlet valves. There is one inlet valve and one
outlet valve for each wheel.
When there is no electrical supply the inlet valves
are open and the outlet valves are closed.
The valve block also contains the low-pressure
reservoir and sound damping chambers.
Pump motor
In the event of an ABS intervention the pump motor
ensures that the pressure can be provided to the
regulating channels independently of the brake
master cylinder.
ABS regulating cycle
An ABS regulating cycle has three phases:
Phase
1 - holding pressure
The inlet valve is closed, and the brake pressure
to the wheel brake cannot be increased any
further, even if the actuation pressure (brake
pedal) is increased further.
Phase
2 - pressure reduction
The outlet valve is temporarily opened, and the
brake pressure to the wheel brake is reduced
in a controlled manner.
Phase
3 - pressure build-up
The inlet valve is opened in stages, and the
brake pressure is increased in a controlled
manner to achieve the greatest possible
deceleration.

Item Description The ABS control unit can be diagnosed via the
The pulses are picked up from a mechanically
encoded ring, which is built into the wheel bearings
on the front wheels while for the rear wheels it is
a metal ring which is mounted on the stub axle.
The registered wheel speed is converted into a
