Hydraulic System Junction Block: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
A junction block is used on vehicles that are not equipped with Antilock Brakes (ABS). The junction block is located in front of the driver's side front
tire behind the front fascia. The junction block mounts in the same location as the ABS Integrated Control Unit (ICU) does on vehicles with ABS.
It has six threaded ports to which the brake tubes connect. Two are for the brake tubes coming from the master cylinder. The remaining four are for
the brake tubes going to each brake assembly.
OPERATION
The junction block distributes the brake fluid coming from the master cylinder primary and secondary ports to the four brake tubes leading to the
brakes. Since the junction block mounts in the same location as the ABS Integrated Control Unit (ICU), it allows for the common use of brake tubes
on the vehicle whether it is equipped with or without ABS.
