Diesel Engine
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Dodge Caliber. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Before proceeding, refer to Brakes - Warning
and Brakes - Caution .
- Disconnect and isolate battery negative cable from battery post.
- Using a brake pedal holding tool as shown in the illustration above, depress the brake pedal past its first 25 mm (1 inch) of travel and hold it in this position. This will isolate the master cylinder from the brake hydraulic system and will not allow the brake fluid to drain out of the master cylinder reservoir while the lines are disconnected.
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Quick Reference/Hoisting - Standard Procedure .
- Loosen, but do not remove, the two mounting screws (2) attaching the ICU (1) mounting bracket to the body.
- Loosen the air inlet tube at the turbocharger.
- Lower the vehicle.
- Remove the engine appearance cover.
- Loosen the air inlet tube at the air cleaner and engine cylinder head cover, then remove the tube.
- Loosen lower and upper mounting nuts, then remove the heat shield from the dash panel.
- Pull the brake tube bundle routing clips (with tubes) loose from studs on the dash panel.
- Remove primary (4) and secondary (1) brake tubes (from master cylinder) at hydraulic control unit (7).
- Remove remaining brake tubes (2, 3, 5, 6) at hydraulic control unit (7).
NOTE: Use this figure in the following step to release the ABM harness connector cover. It shows the location of the release tabs.
1 - ABM (PART OF ICU) 2 - WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR - Disconnect the ABM harness connector from the Antilock Brake Module (ABM). To do so:
- Depress the tabs on each side of the connector cover, then
- Pull outward and upward on the lower half of the cover until it locks into position pointing straight outward (2). The connector can then be pulled straight outward off the ABM (1).
- Lift the ICU and mounting bracket (1) off the mounting screws (2).
- Rotate the ICU (1) around behind the engine until the bracket mounting screw (3) can be accessed.
- Remove the ICU bracket mounting screw (3), then remove the bracket (2) from the ICU (1). The ICU has mounting pins that are inserted into grommets in the bracket that must be overcome to remove bracket.
- Remove the ICU (1) from the engine compartment out over the engine cylinder head cover (2).
- To separate the ABM from the HCU, see Brakes/Hydraulic/Mechanical/INTEGRATED CONTROL UNIT (ICU) - Disassembly .
