Attachment III - Technical Information

OVERVIEW





This program involves inspecting and, if necessary, repositioning the right side brake lines at the hydraulic control unit (HCU) and bleeding the brake system. Figure 1 shows a routing overview of the right side brake lines.

INSPECTION





Trace the brake line from the Engine Side connection shown in Figure 2 back to the HCU port shown in Figure 3.

^ If it traces back to the Fender Side connection of the HCU, the connections are correct. Release the vehicle, no service is necessary.

^ If it traces back to the Engine Side connection of the HCU, the connections are NOT correct. Perform the Service Procedure in this Attachment III.
