ABS Main Relay: Description and Operation
ABS FUSES
(PDC)
The fuse for the ABS pump motor and the ABS system are located in the Power Distribution Center . Refer to the sticker on the inside ofthe PDC cover for the location of the ABS pump motor and the ABS system fuse in the PDC. The PDC is located on the drivers side of the enginecompartment between the back of the battery and the strut tower.
ABS RELAYS
(CAB)
On this vehicle three relays are used to control the Teves Mark 20 Antilock Brake System. The three relays are the pump motor relay, the systemrelay, and the ABS yellow warning lamp relay. The pump motor relay and the system relay are located in the Controller Antilock Brake and the ABS yellow warning lamp relay is located in the PDC. If either the pump motor relay or the system relay is diagnosed as not functioningproperly the CAB will need to be replaced. If the ABS yellow warning lamp relay is diagnosed as not functioning properly it can be replaced as aseparated relay in the PDC.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
(CAB)
The Controller Antilock Brake is a microprocessor-based device that monitors wheel speeds and controls the antilock functions. The CABcontains two microprocessors that receive identical sensor signals and then independently process the information. The results are then compared tomake sure that they agree. Otherwise, the CAB will turn off the antilock and turn on the Antilock Brake System amber warning lamp.(ABS)
The primary functions of the CAB are to:
- detect wheel locking tendencies
- control fluid pressure modulation to the brakes during antilock stop
- monitor the system for proper operation
- provide communication to the DRB while in diagnostic mode
- store diagnostic information in non-volatile memory
The CAB continuously monitors the speed of each wheel. When a wheel locking tendency is detected, the CAB will command the appropriate valve tomodulate brake fluid pressure in its hydraulic unit. Brake pedal position is maintained during an antilock stop by being a closed system with the use of 2accumulators. The CAB continues to control pressure in individual hydraulic circuits until a wheel locking tendency is no longer present. The CAB turnson the pump motor during an antilock stop.
The antilock brake system is constantly monitored by the CAB for proper operation If the CAB detects a system malfunction, it can disable the antilocksystem and turn on the ABS warning lamp. If the antilock function is disabled, the system will revert to standard base brake system operation.
CAB Inputs Include The Following:
- ABS Warning Lamp
- Diagnostic Communication
- Four Wheel Speed Sensors
- Ignition Switch
- Fused B+
- Stop Lamp Switch
CAB Outputs Include The Following:
- ABS Warning Light Actuation
- Voltage
- Eight Valves
- Diagnostic Communication

2. Raise the vehicle on a suitable hoist.
3.
Locate the left (driver's side) black fan motor connector. Retract the red latch on the two-way female connector, depress the thumb latch, anddisconnect the connector from the fan (Figure 1). If the wiring to the fan motor is clipped into the fan support, gently pry it out of the hole so thefan is not damaged.
4. Pry out the two christmas tree type retainers located on the lower radiator enclosure reinforcement.
5. Install the jumper wire assembly (p/n 052931 57AA) between the radiator fan and the headlamp and dash harness:
A.
Attach the black two-way male connector with the clip into the outboard hole, so the connector faces outboard toward the left side of thevehicle. Attach the second clip into the inboard hole of the lower reinforcement that the original wiring came out of (Figure 2).
B.
Connect the original two-way black connector to the new mating connector installed in the previous step and slide the red latch into thelocked position.
6.
Connect the two-way female black connector on the new jumper assembly to the fan connector and slide the red latch into the locked position. Ifthe original wiring to the fan was clipped into the fan support, snap the new clip on the jumper into the same hole.
