(J) Vehicle Pulls to One Side During Normal Braking

ABS Power Center:

1. Perform prediagnosis inspection. Be especially sensitive to any brake/bearing drag on any wheel with the brakes not applied, uneven brake pad wear, or worn brake pads. Also verify that with the brakes lightly applied, all wheels are getting enough pressure such that the wheels cannot be rotated by hand with vehicle on a hoist.
2. Pull the 10 amp controller fuse from the ABS power center. This will verify that a solenoid is not being energized by the controller and causing the problem. Road test vehicle. From approximately 30 mph, apply the brakes such that the vehicle slows at a rate of approximately 5 mph/second. If the vehicle pulls, go to step 3. If the vehicle does not pull, skip step 3 and continue with step 4.
3. Vehicle pulls in step 2. Replace the 10 amp controller fuse. Using 94-00101-A, perform the "Solenoid Bleed and Checkout" test. Road test vehicle using procedures in step 2. If the vehicle still pulls, go to step 4.
4. Vehicle does not pull in step 2, or step 3 did not correct the problem. Replace the 10 amp controller fuse if not already done. Perform (B) "ABS System Functional Check" and (C) "ABS Hold Function Check". If the sound of brake fluid being forcefully sprayed into the reservoir is heard during test (C) but not during test (B), check the wiring at the appropriate solenoid to be sure the correct wires go to the hold circuit and the release circuit of the solenoid. If no problem is identified, bleed the entire brake system at the brake caliper bleeder screws using the procedures found in the "Powermaster III Bleeding" section. Also perform the "ABS Solenoid Bleed and Checkout Test" using 94-00101-A. Road test vehicle. If the problem still exists, replace Powermaster III Unit.
