1.0 INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
all the specifications, instructions, and graphics
needed to diagnose the Mark 20e Antilock Braking
System (ABS). The diagnostics in this manual are
based on the failure condition or symptom being
present at time of diagnosis.
Follow the recommendations below when choos-
ing your diagnostic path.
1. First make sure the DRBIII is communicating
with the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB). If the
DRBIII displays a ''No Response'' condition, you
must diagnose that first.
2. Read and record DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes)
and
Freeze
Frame
DRBIII .
3. If no DTC's are present, identify the customer
complaint.
4. Once the DTC or customer complaint is identi-
fied, locate the matching test in the Table of
Contents and begin to diagnose the symptom.
All component location views are in Section 8.0.
All connector pinouts are in Section 9.0. All sche-
matics are in Section 10.0.
An asterisk (*) placed before the symptom de-
scription indicated a customer complaint.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropri-
ate service manual for the proper removal and
repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added; carryover sys-
tems may be enhanced. READ THIS MANUAL
BEFORE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A VEHICLE
CODE. It is recommended that you review the
entire manual to become familiar with all new and
changed diagnostic procedures.

2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF
SYSTEM
Vehicles equipped with the Teves Mark 20e an-
tilock brake system can be identified by the pres-
ence of the hydraulic control unit located with the
controller antilock brake (CAB) in front of the L.F.
fender.
3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.1 TEVES MARK 20e SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
A Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) module is
used to monitor wheel speeds and to modulate
(control) hydraulic pressure in each brake channel
to prevent wheel lock-up during braking. The CAB
also provides a vehicle speed signal (VSS) to the
powertrain control module (PCM).
During a non-ABS stop, the system functions as a
standard front/rear split configuration. The pri-
mary supplies brake fluid pressure to the front
brakes, and the secondary supplies the rear brakes.
A conventional combination/proportioning valve is
not used. This system uses the existing ABS sole-
noids to replace and perform the same functions
that the combination and proportioning valves do.
The CAB has special software called Electronic
Variable Brake Proportioning (EVBP), that moni-
tors the wheel speeds and when certain criteria are
met the software will enable the solenoids to per-
form the same brake fluid management control as
the combination/proportioning valves.
During an ABS stop, the system still uses the
front/rear hydraulic split; however, the brake sys-
tem pressure is further split into three control
channels. During ABS operation, the front wheels
are controlled independently and are on two sepa-
rate control channels. The rear wheels are con-
trolled together through one control channel. By
using separate control channels for each front
wheel, more steering control is maintained during
maximum braking.
During an antilock stop, ''wheel lock-up'' does not
necessarily mean that the wheel has locked, it
means only that the wheel is turning slower than
the vehicle speed. This is called ''wheel slip'' and is
indicated as a percentage. 0% slip means that the
wheel is rolling free and 100% slip means that the
