Installation Procedure
Notice: The use of rubber hoses or parts other than those specified for the Antilock Brake System (ABS) may lead to functional problems requiring
replacement of the hydraulic parts. Replace all components included in repair kits used to service this system. Lubricate rubber parts with clean, fresh
brake fluid to ease assembly. Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts as damage to rubber components may result. If any hydraulic component is
removed or brake line disconnected, it is necessary to bleed the entire brake system. The fastener tightening specifications are for dry, unlubricated
fasteners.
1. Use the following procedure in order to install the brake solenoid valve lip seal (3):
1.1.
Lubricate the seal (3) on the new brake solenoid valve (2) with clean brake fluid.
1.2.
Verify that the brake solenoid valve lip seal (3) is properly positioned before installing the brake solenoid valve (2) in the ABS brake
modulator (4).
2. Position the brake solenoid valve (2) so that the brake solenoid valve electrical connector will face the same direction as the brake solenoid valve
that was removed.
3. By hand, press down firmly on the brake solenoid valve (2) until the brake solenoid valve flange seats on the ABS brake modulator (4).
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
4. Install the Tore head bolts (1).
