Safety Precautions
When working on or around brake assemblies, care must be taken to prevent breathing asbestos dust, as many manufacturers incorporate asbestos fibers in the production of brake linings. During routine service operations the amount of asbestos dust from brake lining wear is at a low level, due to a chemical breakdown during use. A few precautions will minimize exposure. Do not sand or grind brake linings unless suitable local exhaust ventilation equipment is used to prevent ...

Vehicle: 2001 Mercury Sable 3.0 V6 FLEX
This system operates on the same principles as conventional front and rear split systems using primary and secondary master cylinders moving simultaneously to exert hydraulic pressure on their respective systems, Fig. .
The hydraulic brake lines on this system, however, have been diagonally split front to rear (left front to right rear and right front to left rear) in place of separate lines to the front and rear wheels.
In the event of a system failure this would cause the remaining good system to do all the braking on one front wheel and the opposite rear wheel, thus maintaining 50%...

Continental
The anti-lock brake system prevents wheel lock-up by automatically modulating brake pressure during an emergency stop. It allows driver to maintain steering control and stop the vehicle in the shortest possible distance under most conditions. The traction control system controls wheelspin by modulating engine torque and applying or releasing appropriate rear brake to restore traction when driving on slippery or loose surfaces, Fig. .
Sable & Taurus
The anti-lock system (ABS), Fig. , controls each brake separately. The brake pedal force required to engage the system may vary...

Disc Brakes -> Rear Disc & Parking Brakes -> Brake System Bleed -> System Priming -> Wheel Bleeding Sequence
Vehicle: 2001 Mercury Sable 3.0 V6 GAS
Pressure bleeding is recommended for all hydraulic disc brake systems.
Do not use brake fluid drained from the hydraulic system when bleeding the brakes. Ensure disc brake pistons are returned to their normal positions and the shoe and lining assemblies are properly seated. Before driving the vehicle, inspect the brake operation.
Do not shake the pressure bleeder tank while air is being added or after it has been pressurized. This will prevent air from the tank getting into the lines. Set the tank in the required location, then bring the air hose to the tank. Do not move the ta...
