The ITT Teves Mark IV and Mark 20 Anti-Lock Brake Systems are designed to prevent wheel lock-up on any road surface when brakes are applied. They are composed of a complex network of electrical and hydraulic components but should usually function much the same as standard, non-ABS braking systems. The hydraulic circuits to each wheel are diagonally split for safety in the event of pressure loss, and conventional vacuum assist is provided on all models.

The anti-lock brake system operates when brakes are applied while traveling at a speed greater than three to five mph. It is normal f...

Brake System Bleed

The base brake system must be bled anytime air is permitted to enter the hydraulic system. However, anti-lock brake system components should only be bled if the hydraulic control unit has been removed or if there is reason to believe that air has entered the unit. The ABS portion of the braking system must be bled separately. Under most circumstances, only the base brake system will require bleeding. If the anti-lock brake system must be bled, proceed as follows:

• Ensure all brake system components are installed and all hydraulic lines are connected securely.
• Conne...

Master Cylinder

Except Caravan, Town & Country & Voyager

The cylinder body containing the primary and secondary pistons is made of aluminum. The removable fluid reservoir is made of nylon reinforced with glass fiber. The reservoir is the only serviceable component.

The fluid compartments of the nylon reservoir are interconnected to permit fluid level equalization. The equalization feature does not affect circuit separation in the event of a front or rear brake malfunction. The reservoir compartments will retain enough fluid to operate the functioning hydraulic circuit.
