Chrysler RG Voyager. Manual - part 350

INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
all the specifications, instructions, and graphics
needed to diagnose the Mark 20e and Mark 25e
Antilock Braking Systems (ABS). The diagnostics
in this manual are based on the failure condition or
symptom being present at time of diagnosis.
Please follow the recommendations below when
choosing your diagnostic path.
1. First make sure the DRBIII
t is communicating
with the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) or
Anti-Lock Brake Module (ABM). If the DRBIII
t
displays a “No Response” condition, you must
diagnose that first.
2. Read and record DTC’s (diagnostic trouble codes)
and Freeze Frame information with the DRBIII
t.
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 indicates a concern with no associated
DTC.
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; carry over 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.
After using this book, if you have any comments

1.1
SYSTEM COVERAGE
This diagnostic procedure manual covers the
Teves Mark 20e and 25e Antilock Braking System
(ABS) found on the 2005 (RS) Town and Country,
Caravan, and Voyager.
1.2
SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
Diagnosis of the CAB or ABM is done in six basic
steps:
•
verification of complaint
•
verification of any related symptoms
•
symptom analysis
•
problem isolation
•
repair of isolated problem
•
verification of proper operation

IDENTIFICATION OF
SYSTEM
Vehicles equipped with the Teves Mark 25e an-
tilock brake system can be identified by the pres-
ence of the antilock brake module with a 47-way
connector. Mark 20e has a 24-way connector.
The presence of the Traction Control system is
indicated by the switch and bulb check.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.1
TEVES MARK 20e/25e SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The CAB or ABM is used to monitor wheel speeds
and to modulate (control) hydraulic pressure in each
brake channel. The modulated hydraulic pressure is
used to prevent wheel lock-up during braking.
The Teves Mark 20e/25e system uses a diagonal
split hydraulic brake system. In the standard brake
mode the master cylinder primary circuit supplies
pressure to the right front and left rear wheel
brakes, and the secondary master cylinder circuit
supplies pressure to the left front and right rear
wheel brakes.
All vehicles equipped with ABS use Electronic
Variable Brake Proportioning (EVPB) to balance
front-to-rear braking when brakes are applied in
the partial braking range.
3.2
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)
DESCRIPTION (IF EQUIPPED)
The main purpose of traction control is to reduce
wheel slip and maintain traction at the driven
wheels when road surfaces are slippery. The traction
control system reduces wheel slip by braking the
wheel that is losing traction. The system is designed
to operate at speeds below 56 km/h (35 mph).
