Base brake components consist of the brake pads, calipers, brake drum in hat rotor in the rear, rotors, brake lines,
master cylinder, booster, and parking brake components.
Brake diagnosis involves determining if the problem is related to a mechanical, hydraulic, or vacuum operated component.
The first diagnosis step is the preliminary check.
PRELIMINARY BRAKE CHECK
1. Check condition of tires and wheels. Damaged wheels and worn, damaged, or underinflated tires can cause pull,
shudder, vibration, and a condition similar to grab.
2. If complaint was based on noise when braking, check suspension components. Jounce front and rear of vehicle
and listen for noise that might be caused by loose, worn or damaged suspension or steering components.
3. Inspect brake fluid level and condition. Note that the brake reservoir fluid level will decrease in proportion to
normal lining wear. Also note that brake fluid tends to darken over time. This is normal and should not be
mistaken for contamination.
a. If fluid level is abnormally low, look for evidence of leaks at calipers, wheel cylinders, brake lines, and master
cylinder.
b. If fluid appears contaminated, drain out a sample to examine. System will have to be flushed if fluid is sep-
arated into layers, or contains a substance other than brake fluid. The system seals and cups will also have
to be replaced after flushing. Use clean brake fluid to flush the system.
4. Check parking brake operation. Verify free movement and full release of cables and pedal. Also note if vehicle
was being operated with parking brake partially applied.
5. Check brake pedal operation. Verify that pedal does not bind and has adequate free play. If pedal lacks free play,
check pedal and power booster for being loose or for bind condition. Do not road test until condition is corrected.
6. Check booster vacuum check valve and hose.
7. If components checked appear OK, road test the vehicle.
ROAD TESTING
1. If complaint involved low brake pedal, pump pedal and note if it comes back up to normal height.
2. Check brake pedal response with transmission in Neutral and engine running. Pedal should remain firm under
constant foot pressure.
3. During road test, make normal and firm brake stops in 25-40 mph range. Note faulty brake operation such as low
pedal, hard pedal, fade, pedal pulsation, pull, grab, drag, noise, etc.
4. Attempt to stop the vehicle with the parking brake only and note grab, drag, noise, etc.
PEDAL FALLS AWAY
A brake pedal that falls away under steady foot pressure is generally the result of a system leak or fluid contamination. The leak point could be at a brake line, fitting, hose, or caliper/wheel cylinder. If leakage is severe, fluid will
be evident at or around the leaking component.
Internal leakage (seal by-pass) in the master cylinder caused by worn or damaged piston cups, may also be the
problem cause.
An internal leak in the ABS or RWAL system may also be the problem with no physical evidence.
LOW PEDAL
If a low pedal is experienced, pump the pedal several times. If the pedal comes back up worn linings, rotors, drums,
or rear brakes out of adjustment are the most likely causes. The proper course of action is to inspect and replace
all worn component and make the proper adjustments.
5 - 4BRAKES - BASE - SERVICE INFORMATIONDR
SPONGY PEDAL
A spongy pedal is most often caused by air in the system. However, thin brake drums or substandard brake lines
and hoses can also cause a spongy pedal. The proper course of action is to bleed the system, and replace thin
drums and substandard quality brake hoses if suspected.
HARD PEDAL OR HIGH PEDAL EFFORT
A hard pedal or high pedal effort may be due to lining that is water soaked, contaminated, glazed, or badly worn.
The power booster or check valve or a vacuum hose could also be faulty.
PEDAL PULSATION
Pedal pulsation is caused by components that are loose, or beyond tolerance limits.
The primary cause of pulsation are disc brake rotors with excessive lateral runout or thickness variation, or out of
round brake drums. Other causes are loose wheel bearings or calipers and worn, damaged tires.
NOTE: Some pedal pulsation may be felt during ABS activation.
BRAKE DRAG
Brake drag occurs when the lining is in constant contact with the rotor or drum. Drag can occur at one wheel, all
wheels, fronts only, or rears only.
Drag is a product of incomplete brake shoe release. Drag can be minor or severe enough to overheat the linings,
rotors and drums.
Minor drag will usually cause slight surface charring of the lining. It can also generate hard spots in rotors and
drums from the overheat-cool down process. In most cases, the rotors, drums, wheels and tires are quite warm to
the touch after the vehicle is stopped.
Severe drag can char the brake lining all the way through. It can also distort and score rotors and drums to the
point of replacement. The wheels, tires and brake components will be extremely hot. In severe cases, the lining may
generate smoke as it chars from overheating.
Common causes of brake drag are:
• Seized or improperly adjusted parking brake cables.
• Loose/worn wheel bearing.
• Seized caliper or wheel cylinder piston.
• Caliper binding on corroded bushings or rusted slide surfaces.
• Loose caliper mounting.
• Drum brake shoes binding on worn/damaged support plates.
• Mis-assembled components.
• Long booster output rod.
If brake drag occurs at all wheels, the problem may be related to a blocked master cylinder return port, or faulty
power booster (binds-does not release).
BRAKE FADE
Brake fade is usually a product of overheating caused by brake drag. However, brake overheating and resulting
fade can also be caused by riding the brake pedal, making repeated high deceleration stops in a short time span,
or constant braking on steep mountain roads. Refer to the Brake Drag information in this section for causes.
BRAKE PULL
Front brake pull condition could result from:
• Contaminated lining in one caliper
• Seized caliper piston
• Binding caliper
• Loose caliper
• Rusty caliper slide surfaces
DRBRAKES - BASE - SERVICE INFORMATION5 - 5
• Improper brake pads
• Damaged rotor
A worn, damaged wheel bearing or suspension component are further causes of pull. A damaged front tire (bruised,
ply separation) can also cause pull.
A common and frequently misdiagnosed pull condition is where direction of pull changes after a few stops. The
cause is a combination of brake drag followed by fade at one of the brake units.
As the dragging brake overheats, efficiency is so reduced that fade occurs. Since the opposite brake unit is still
functioning normally, its braking effect is magnified. This causes pull to switch direction in favor of the normally
functioning brake unit.
An additional point when diagnosing a change in pull condition concerns brake cool down. Remember that pull will
return to the original direction, if the dragging brake unit is allowed to cool down (and is not seriously damaged).
REAR BRAKE GRAB OR PULL
Rear grab or pull is usually caused by improperly adjusted or seized parking brake cables, contaminated lining, bent
or binding shoes and support plates, or improperly assembled components. This is particularly true when only one
rear wheel is involved. However, when both rear wheels are affected, the master cylinder or proportioning valve
could be at fault.
BRAKES DO NOT HOLD AFTER DRIVING THROUGH DEEP WATER PUDDLES
This condition is generally caused by water soaked lining. If the lining is only wet, it can be dried by driving with the
brakes very lightly applied for a mile or two. However, if the lining is both soaked and dirt contaminated, cleaning
and/or replacement will be necessary.
BRAKE LINING CONTAMINATION
Brake lining contamination is mostly a product of leaking calipers or worn seals, driving through deep water puddles,
or lining that has become covered with grease and grit during repair. Contaminated lining should be replaced to
avoid further brake problems.
WHEEL AND TIRE PROBLEMS
Some conditions attributed to brake components may actually be caused by a wheel or tire problem.
A damaged wheel can cause shudder, vibration and pull. A worn or damaged tire can also cause pull.
Severely worn tires with very little tread left can produce a grab-like condition as the tire loses and recovers traction.
Flat-spotted tires can cause vibration and generate shudder during brake operation. A tire with internal damage such
as a severe bruise, cut, or ply separation can cause pull and vibration.
BRAKE NOISES
Some brake noise is common with rear drum brakes and on some disc brakes during the first few stops after a
vehicle has been parked overnight or stored. This is primarily due to the formation of trace corrosion (light rust) on
metal surfaces. This light corrosion is typically cleared from the metal surfaces after a few brake applications causing the noise to subside.
BRAKE SQUEAK/SQUEAL
Brake squeak or squeal may be due to linings that are wet or contaminated with brake fluid, grease, or oil. Glazed
linings and rotors with hard spots can also contribute to squeak. Dirt and foreign material embedded in the brake
lining will also cause squeak/squeal.
A very loud squeak or squeal is frequently a sign of severely worn brake lining. If the lining has worn through to the
brake pads in spots, metal-to-metal contact occurs. If the condition is allowed to continue, rotors can become so
scored that replacement is necessary.
BRAKE CHATTER
Brake chatter is usually caused by loose or worn components, or glazed/burnt lining. Rotors with hard spots can
also contribute to chatter. Additional causes of chatter are out-of-tolerance rotors, brake lining not securely attached
to the shoes, loose wheel bearings and contaminated brake lining.
5 - 6BRAKES - BASE - SERVICE INFORMATIONDR
THUMP/CLUNK NOISE
Thumping or clunk noises during braking are frequently not caused by brake components. In many cases, such
noises are caused by loose or damaged steering, suspension, or engine components. However, calipers that bind
on the slide surfaces can generate a thump or clunk noise.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
MANUAL BLEEDING
Use Mopar brake fluid, or an equivalent quality fluid
meeting SAE J1703-F and DOT 3 standards only. Use
fresh, clean fluid from a sealed container at all times.
1. Remove reservoir filler caps and fill reservoir.
2. If calipers were overhauled, open all caliper bleed
screws. Then close each bleed screw as fluid starts
to drip from it. Top off master cylinder reservoir
once more before proceeding.
3. Attach one end of bleed hose (1) to bleed screw
and insert opposite end in glass container (2) partially filled with brake fluid. Be sure end of bleed
hose is immersed in fluid.
NOTE: Bleed procedure should be in this order (1)
Right rear (2) Left rear (3) Right front (4) Left front.
4. Open up bleeder, then have a helper press down
the brake pedal. Once the pedal is down close the bleeder. Repeat bleeding until fluid stream is clear and free
of bubbles. Then move to the next wheel.
5. Before moving the vehicle verify the pedal is firm and not mushy.
6. Top off the brake fluid and install the reservoir cap.
PRESSURE BLEEDING
Use Mopar brake fluid, or an equivalent quality fluid meeting SAE J1703-F and DOT 3 standards only. Use fresh,
clean fluid from a sealed container at all times.
Follow the manufacturers instructions carefully when using pressure equipment. Do not exceed the tank manufacturers pressure recommendations. Generally, a tank pressure of 15-20 psi is sufficient for bleeding.
Fill the bleeder tank with recommended fluid and purge air from the tank lines before bleeding.
Do not pressure bleed without a proper master cylinder adapter. The wrong adapter can lead to leakage, or drawing
air back into the system.

MOTOR-ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
DESCRIPTION
The Adjustable Pedals System (APS) is designed to
enable the fore and aft repositioning of the brake and
accelerator pedals. This results in improved ergonomics in relation to the steering wheel for taller and
shorter drivers. Being able to adjust the pedal positions also allows the driver to set steering wheel tilt
and seat position to the most comfortable position.
The position of the brake and accelerator pedals can
be adjusted without compromising safety or comfort in
actuating the pedals.
Change of pedal position is accomplished by means
of a motor driven screw. Operating the adjustable
pedal switch activates the pedal drive motor (1). The
pedal drive motor turns a screw that changes the position of the brake and accelerator pedals. The pedal
can be moved rearward (closer to the driver) or forward (away from driver). The brake pedal is moved on
its drive screw to a position where the driver feels most comfortable.
The accelerator pedal is moved at the same time and the same distance as the brake pedal.
Neither the pedal drive motor (1) nor drive mechanism are subject to the mechanical stress of brake or accelerator
application.
• SYSTEM FEATURES:
• Range of Adjustment: The pedals may be adjusted up to 3 in. (75 mm)
•Pedal Adjustment Inhibitors: Pedal adjustment is inhibited when the vehicle is in reverse or when
cruise control is activated.
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the kneeblocker (Refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/STEERING COLUMN OPENING COVER REMOVAL).
