POWER BRAKE UNITS, GENERAL MOTORS -> General Service -> CHECKING COMPLAINTS
Vehicle: 1990 GMC R3500 Pickup 6.2 V8 DIESEL
Diagnose power brakes systems as if two separate systems exist. Check for faults in the regular brake system first. If no problem exists in the regular brake system, diagnosis the power brake circuit is necessary. For a quick check of proper power unit operation, press the brake pedal firmly and then start the engine. The pedal should fall away slightly and less pressure should be needed to maintain the pedal in any position. On vacuum suspended power units, air will rush into the air intake when the brakes are applied.
To perform another check, remove the stop light switch, ...

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, GENERAL MOTORS -> Rear Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System -> DESCRIPTION
Vehicle: 1990 GMC R3500 Pickup 7.4 V8 GAS
The Rear Wheel Anti-Lock (RWAL) system, Fig. , reduces the occurrence of rear wheel lockup during severe braking by regulating rear hydraulic line pressure. Pressure applied to the rear wheel brakes is regulated by a control valve assembly located under the master cylinder. The control valve consists of a dump valve which releases hydraulic pressure into an accumulator, and an isolation valve which holds rear brake pressure. Operation of the dump valve and isolation valve is controlled by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) which is mounted next to the master cylinder.
The ECU receives ...

Vehicle: 1990 GMC R3500 Pickup 7.4 V8 GAS
DESCRIPTION
Hydro-Boost II is an hydraulically operated power brake booster. The hydraulic brake booster consists of an open center spool valve and an hydraulic cylinder combined into a single housing. The power steering pump provides the hydraulic fluid pressure to operate both the power brake booster and the power steering gear.
A dual master cylinder is bolted to the brake booster and is operated by a pushrod projecting from the booster cylinder bore.
The Hydro-Boost II also has an accumulator system which stores sufficient fluid under pressure to provide one power assisted brake...
