Caution: For safety reasons, the Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) must not be repaired; the complete unit must be replaced. With the exception of the EBCM/EBTCM, no screws may be loosened. If screws are loosened, it will not be possible to get the brake circuits leak-tight and personal injury may result.
Notice: Avoid spilling brake fluid onto painted surfaces, electrical connections, wiring, or cables. Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces and cause corrosion to electrical components. If any brake fluid comes in contact with painted surfaces, immediately flush the area with water. If any brake fluid comes in contact with electrical connections, wiring, or cables, use a clean shop cloth to wipe away the fluid.
Important: Note the locations of the brake pipes in order to aid in installation.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the 4 bolts (3) that connect the BPMV (1) to the
mounting bracket (2) to 10 N·m (89 lb in).
Tighten
• | Tighten the lower 2 BPMV mounting bracket nuts (3) and bolt to 10 N·m (84 lb in). |
• | Tighten the top nut (1) for BPMV mounting bracket (4) to strut tower to 3 N·m (27 lb in). |
Caution: Make sure brake pipes are correctly connected to brake pressure modulator valve. If brake pipes are switched by mistake, wheel lockup will occur and personal injury may result. The only two ways this condition can be detected are by using a Scan Tool or by doing an Antilock stop.
Important: If a new BPMV is being installed, remove the shipping plugs from the valve openings during the next few steps when ready .
Tighten
Tighten the master cylinder brake pipe fittings to 24 N·m
(18 lb ft).
Tighten
Tighten all 4 brake pipe fittings to 24 N·m (18 lb ft).
