BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1996 Mercury Sable AUTOMOBILES
Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported 1996 Mercury Sable cars and light trucks from 1990+.
Drum Brakes -> Type 3 -> Inspection
Vehicle: 1996 Mercury Sable 3.0 V6 GAS
- Inspect components for damage and unusual wear. Replace as necessary.
- Inspect wheel cylinders. Boots which are torn, cut, or heat damaged indicate need for wheel cylinder replacement. Fluid spilling from boot center hole, or wetness around wheel cylinder ends indicates cup leakage and need for wheel cylinder replacement. A small amount of fluid is always present and is considered normal, acting as lubricant for cylinder pistons.
- Inspect backing pla...

Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported 1996 Mercury Sable cars and light trucks from 1990+.
Anti-lock Brakes -> Continental, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Sable, Taurus & Town Car -> Description -> ABS Module (Electronic Control Unit) -> Anti-Lock Brakes -> Hydraulic Control Unit -> Master Cylinder -> Operation -> Pedal Travel Switch -> System Components -> Traction Assist -> Vacuum Booster -> Wheel Sensors
Vehicle: 1996 Mercury Sable 3.0 V6 GAS
The anti-lock system (ABS), Fig. , controls each brake separately. The brake pedal force required to engage the system may vary with road surface conditions. A dry surface will require a high force, while a slippery surface will require a much less force. During system operation, the driver will sense a slight brake pedal pulsation accompanied by a rise in brake pedal height and a clicking sound. The pedal effort and pedal feel during normal braking are similar to a conventional power brake system.

Brake Roughness
Thickness Variation
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 thickness variation. To inspect for this condition, measure the disc at 12 points with a micrometer at a radius approximately one inch from edge of disc. If thickness meas...

Power Brake Units -> Troubleshooting -> Bendix Diaphragm Types -> Bendix Hydro-Boost Type -> Brakes Grab -> Erratic Booster Operation, Binding, Grabbing Or Sticking -> Hard Pedal Or No Assist -> No Or Slow Release -> No Power Assist
Vehicle: 1996 Mercury Sable 3.0 V6 GAS
Complaints about power brake operation should be handled as if two separate systems exist. Inspect for faults in the hydraulic system first. If it is satisfactory, start inspecting the power brake circuit. For a quick inspection 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.
Another inspection begins with installation of a suitable pressure gauge in the brake hydraulic system. Take a reading with the engine Off and the power unit n...

Anti-lock Brakes -> Continental, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Sable, Taurus & Town Car -> Troubleshooting -> Pre-Test Checks
Vehicle: 1996 Mercury Sable 3.0 V6 GAS
Pre-Test Checks
- Verify parking brake is completely released. If parking brake is applied, "Brake" lamp will be illuminated.
- Check brake fluid. As fluid level drops, red "Brake" lamp will illuminate. If fluid level continues to fall, amber "Check Anti-Lock Brake" lamp will illuminate and anti-lock function will be inhibited.
- Verify all of the following connectors are properly connected and in good operating condition:
- 55-pin connector of the computer module.
- 19-pin c...

Vehicle: 1996 Mercury Sable 3.0 V6 GAS
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 master cylinder is proportioned to fulfill the requirements of each of the two independent hydraulic brake systems, Fig. .
If a failure of a rear (secondary) brake system should occur, initial brake pedal movement causes the unrestricted secondary piston to bottom in the master cylinder bore. Primary p...
