BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1991 Ford Taurus AUTOMOBILES
Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported 1991 Ford Taurus cars and light trucks from 1990+.
POWER BRAKES, FORD MOTOR CO. -> SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Vehicle: 1991 Ford Taurus LX 3.0 V6 GAS
The vacuum assist diaphragm assembly multiplies the force exerted on the master cylinder piston in order to increase the hydraulic pressure delivered to the wheel cylinders while decreasing the effort necessary to obtain acceptable stopping performance.
Vacuum assist units get their energy by opposing engine vacuum to atmospheric pressure. A piston, cylinder and flexible diaphragm utilize this energy to provide brake assistance. The diaphragm is balanced with engine vacuum until the brake pedal is de...

Vehicle: 1991 Ford Taurus LX 3.8 V6 GAS
DESCRIPTION
These units are of the vacuum suspended type. Some units are of the single diaphragm type,Fig. while others are of the tandem diaphragm type,Fig. . Both single piston and double piston or split system type master cylinders are used.
The vacuum suspended diaphragm type units utilize engine manifold vacuum and atmospheric pressure for its power. It consists of three basic elements combined into a single power unit. The three basic elements of the single diaphragm type are:
- A vacuum power section which includes a front and rear shell, a power diaphragm...

POWER BRAKES, FORD MOTOR CO. -> PUSHROD ADJUSTMENT -> BENDIX TYPE -> SINGLE DIAPHRAGM BOOSTER
Vehicle: 1991 Ford Taurus LX 3.0 V6 GAS
Proper adjustment of the master cylinder pushrod is necessary to ensure proper operation of the power brake system. A pushrod that is too long will prevent the master cylinder piston from completely releasing hydraulic pressure, eventually, causing the brakes to drag. A pushrod that is too short will cause excessive brake pedal travel and cause groaning noises to come from the booster when the brakes are applied. A properly adjusted pushrod that remains assembled to the booster with which is was matched during production should not require service adjustment. However, if the ...

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, FORD MOTOR CO. -> Sable/Taurus & Town Car, 1990-91 Continental -> OPERATION
Vehicle: 1991 Ford Taurus SHO 3.0 V6 GAS
When brakes are applied, fluid is forced from the master cylinder outlet ports to the hydraulic control unit (HCU) inlet ports. This pressure is transmitted through four normally open solenoid valves contained inside the HCU, then through outlet ports of the HCU to each wheel. The primary (rear) circuit of the master cylinder feeds the right front and left rear brakes. The secondary (front) circuit feeds the left front and right rear brakes.
When the electronic control unit ECU senses wheel lock conditions, based on wheel speed sensor data, it pulses the normally open solenoid valve cl...

DISC BRAKES, FORD MOTOR CO. -> General Information -> BRAKE DISC SERVICE -> BLEEDING DISC BRAKES -> BRAKE ROUGHNESS
Vehicle: 1991 Ford Taurus L 3.8 V6 GAS
Servicing of disc brakes is extremely critical due to the close tolerances required in machining the brake disc to insure proper brake operation.
The maintenance of these close controls of the shape of the rubbing surfaces is necessary to prevent brake roughness. In addition, the surface finish must be non-directional and maintained at a micro inch finish. This close control of the rubbing surface finish is necessary to avoid pulls and erratic performance and promote long lining life and equal lining wear of both left and right brakes.
In light of the foregoing remarks, refinis...

FRONT & REAR SPLIT SYSTEMS
When the brake pedal is depressed, both the primary (front brake) and the secondary (rear brake) master cylinder pistons are moved simultaneously to exert hydraulic fluid pressure on their respective independent hydraulic systems. The fluid displacement of the two master cylinders is proportioned to fulfill the requirements of each of the two independent hydraulic brake systems,Figs. and .
If a failure of a rear (secondary) brake system should occur, initial brake pedal movement causes the unrestricted secondary piston to bottom in the mas...
