Rear Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 20 other vehicles, including the 1987 GMC Pickup, 1987 GMC Cab & Chassis, 1987 Chevrolet Pickup, 1987 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis, and 1986 GMC Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The anti-lock brake system contains electronic equipment that can be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. Since this interference could cause the possible loss of the anti-lock braking capability, such equipment should be installed by qualified professionals.
On models equipped with anti-lock brake systems, ALWAYS observe the following cautions:
- DO NOT attempt to bleed hydraulic system without first referring to the appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article in the BRAKES Section.
- DO NOT mix tire sizes. As long as tires remain close to the original diameter, increasing the width is acceptable. Rolling diameter must be identical for all 4 tires. Some manufacturers recommend tires of the same brand, style and type. Failure to follow this precaution may cause inaccurate wheel speed readings.
- Use ONLY recommended brake fluids. DO NOT use silicone brake fluids in an ABS-equipped vehicle.
