BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1990 GEO Metro AUTOMOBILES

Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported 1990 GEO Metro cars and light trucks from 1990+.

HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS, GENERAL MOTORS -> COMPONENT DESCRIPTION -> HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVES -> MASTER CYLINDER
Vehicle: 1990 GEO Metro 1.0 L3 GAS

MASTER CYLINDER

Some vehicles use a conventional tandem master cylinder with two hydraulic pistons operating in line. The primary piston controls the front brake system and the secondary piston controls the rear brake system.

Other models use a master cylinder that operates the same as the conventional master cylinder, but also incorporates a quick take-up feature in the rear chamber to reduce excessive pedal travel which may result from increased fluid displacement required to move the low drag caliper piston out against the rotor.

The quick take-up uses a spring-loaded ball...

Vehicle: 1990 GEO Metro 1.0 L3 GAS

DUAL MASTER CYLINDER

Front & Rear Split System

When the brake pedal is depressed, both the primary (front brake) and the secondary (rear brake) master cylinder pistons are moved simultaneously to exert hydraulic fluid pressure on their respective systems,Figs. and .

If the rear (secondary) brake system fails, initial brake pedal movement will cause the unrestricted secondary piston to bottom in the master cylinder bore. Primary piston movement will displace hydraulic fluid in the primary section of the master cylinder to actuate the front brake system.

If the front (primary) brak...

HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS, GENERAL MOTORS -> HEIGHT SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE, Adjust
Vehicle: 1990 GEO Metro 1.0 L3 GAS

The height sensing proportioning valve must be adjusted whenever the valve and/or linkage is disassembled or removed for service. In addition, adjustment should be checked if excessive front wheel lock-up is experienced with a lower than desired brake application rate when vehicle is at or near maximum GVWR.

  • Raise and support vehicle leaving wheels on, and allow axle to hang free (no load condition).
  • Remove lever retaining nut and disconnect lever from valve shaft, Fig. .
  • Rotate valve shaft to permit installation of correct adjustment gauge, Fig. ,...

Vehicle: 1990 GEO Metro 1.0 L3 GAS

DESCRIPTION

This unit utilizes a vacuum power chamber, consisting of a front and rear shell, housing divider, front and rear diaphragm, plate assemblies, hydraulic pushrod and a diaphragm return spring,Figs. and .

The unit operates in much the same manner as the single diaphragm unit described previously. The diaphragm and plate assemblies utilize the pressure differential between the engine intake manifold vacuum and atmospheric pressure to assist in braking.

  • Internal vacuum leak.
  • Faulty control valve.
