Tribute 4WD L4-2.3L Hybrid (2008)
WARNING: Wear high-voltage insulated safety gloves and a face shield when working with high-voltage batteries or cables. The high-voltage insulated
safety gloves should be of the appropriate safety and protection rating. Inspect the gloves before use and always wear them with the leather outer glove.
Any hole in the rubber insulating glove is a potential entry point for high-voltage. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal
injury or death.
WARNING: Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting manufacturers specification. Additionally, do not use brake fluid that has been
previously drained. Following these instructions will help prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION seek medical advice. For
additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
personal injury.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, immediately wash the
surface with water.
NOTE: The ABS module is part of the hydraulic control unit (HCU). Do not separate the ABS module from the HCU.
NOTE: When installing a new ABS module, it must be calibrated and configured using the vehicle as-built data. Follow the scan tool directions for the
calibration procedures.
NOTE: The HCU must be depressurized before proceeding with any mechanical repairs to the brake system.
1. Depressurize the HCU.
-
Turn the key to the OFF position and let the vehicle stand for 4 minutes without opening the doors, pressing the brake pedal or activating the
key fob.
NOTE: Mark the level of the brake fluid in the master cylinder before starting the depressurization of the system. When the brake fluid level has
increased approximately 12 mm (0.47 in), the system has fully depressurized.
NOTE: If any of these actions occur, the system pressurizes and the procedure must be repeated.
2. Depower the high-voltage battery. See - HIGH-VOLTAGE TRACTION BATTERY SYSTEMS DEPOWERING HYBRID.
3. Remove the battery junction box (BJB) fuses 9 (50A) and 18 (50A).
4. Remove the HCU heat shield.
-
Remove the heat shield pin-type fastener.
-
Remove the heat shield bolt.
-
To install, tighten to 8 Nm {0.8 kgf-m, 71 in-lbf}.
5. Disconnect the electrical connector by rotating the protective cover.
