Vehicle: 1999 Mercury Tracer 2.0 L4 GAS
System Components
Refer to Fig. for ABS component locations.
Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)
The hydraulic unit consists of a valve body assembly, pump and a motor assembly. During normal braking, fluid from the brake master cylinder enters the HCU through inlet port located at the bottom of the unit. Then the fluid passes through four normally open isolation valves, one to each of the four wheels
If anti-lock brake control module senses that a wheel is about to lock, the module pulses the appropriate isolation valve, which in turn closes that valve which prevents any more fluid from ente...

Disc Brakes -> Front Disc Brakes -> Brake Disc Service
Vehicle: 1999 Mercury Tracer 2.0 L4 GAS
Disc brake service is critical due to the close tolerances required in machining the brake disc to ensure proper brake operation.
Maintaining close control of the shape of the rubbing surfaces is required to prevent brake roughness. In addition, the surface finish must be non-directional and maintained at a micro-inch finish. This is required to avoid pulls and erratic performance, and to promote long lining life and equal lining wear of both the lefthand and righthand brakes.
Do not attempt to refinish the rubbing ...
