BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan AUTOMOBILES

Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan cars and light trucks from 1990+.

Master Cylinder

Front & Rear Split Systems

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 independent hydraulic systems. The fluid displacement of the two master cylinders is proportioned to fulfill the requirements of each of the two independent hydraulic brake systems.

Proportioning Valve
Caravan, Town & Country & Voyager

These models use a proportioning valve and pressure differential switch, or a combination valve. When a premature rear wheel skid is obtained during braking, it may be an indication that fluid pressure to rear brakes is above a desired output and/or a malfunction has occurred within the valve. At this time, the valve unit should be tested as follows:

  • Remove actuator assembly adjustment nut, Fig. , then disconnect assembly from valve lever and remove.
  • Install gauge and Tee from line pressure set No. C-4007, or equivale...

If the braking surface diameter is within specifications, drums should be cleaned and inspected for cracks, scores, deep grooves, taper, out of round and heat spotting.
