Brake System Bleed
1992-95
Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (EHCU/BPMV) Module
The EHCU/BPMV Module should be bled after replacement or if air is trapped in the unit. If bleeding is required, the module must be bled thoroughly before the wheel cylinders and calipers.
There are two bleeders on top of the unit that appear to be normal bleeders, Fig. . These are modulator bleeders and must remain closed when the unit is not pressurized.
The internal bleeders are on either side of EHCU/BPMV module. The valves are used to open the internal passages within the E...

1992
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 rec...

Brake Lines & Linings
Remove one of the front wheels and inspect the brake disc, caliper and linings.
Do not allow any oil or grease on the linings. It is recommended that all linings be replaced in sets when worn or damaged.
If the caliper is cracked or fluid leakage through the casting is evident, it must be replaced as a unit.
Brake Roughness
The most common cause of brake chatter on disc brakes is a variation in thickness of the disc. If roughness or vibration is encountered during highway operation or if pedal pumping is experienced at low speeds, the disc may have excessive thickne...
