BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1996 Chrysler LHS AUTOMOBILES
Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported 1996 Chrysler LHS cars and light trucks from 1990+.
Disc Brakes -> Type 6-Kelsey-Hayes Dual Pin Floating Caliper Disc Brake, Front -> Brake System Bleed -> Manual Bleed -> Pressure Bleed
Vehicle: 1996 Chrysler LHS 3.5 V6 GAS
Bleeding the hydraulic brake system is necessary if air has entered the system. Symptoms can be noted by loss of brake operation, and/or a low or spongy brake pedal.
The hydraulic fluid is bled or flushed from the system through bleeder valves located on the calipers, wheel cylinders, and some master cylinders. Use only specified brake fluid when bleeding the system. Never reuse old brake fluid removed from the system.
Pressure Bleed
Pressure bleeding is recommended for all hydraulic brake systems. It is the fastest method because the master cylinder is automatically fed brake f...

Vehicle: 1996 Chrysler LHS 3.5 V6 GAS
System Operation
Under normal braking conditions, the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) functions as a standard brake system with a diagonally split master cylinder and conventional brake booster.
If a wheel lock is detected during braking, the system will enter ABS mode. During ABS mode, hydraulic pressure in the four wheel circuits is modulated to prevent any wheel from locking.
Each wheel circuit has a set of electrical valves to provide modulation to each wheel. Front wheels receive separate signals and rear wheels receive the same signal.
Fault Diagnostic System

Hydraulic Brake Systems -> Hydraulic Brake System Controls -> Anti-Lock Brake System -> Description -> Less Anti-Lock Brake System -> Proportioning Valve -> Testing -> Type 1 Combination Valve -> Type 2 Proportioning Valve -> Type 3 Proportioning Valves -> Type 4 Proportioning Valves -> Warning Light System
Vehicle: 1996 Chrysler LHS 3.5 V6 GAS
Type 1 Combination Valve
This valve assembly, Fig. , is comprised of a warning switch, and a dual proportioning valve.
The warning switch detects system failure when a pressure difference occurs between the diagonally split systems. In such a case, the valve piston shuttles toward the side with the low pressure forcing the switch plunger upward over the piston's tapered shoulder. This movement closes the switch contacts causing the brake warning lamp to illuminate. Upon restoration of equalized system pressure the brake warning switch will reset.
The proportioning v...

Caliper Overhaul
- Remove caliper from rotor as described under "Brake Pad Service."
- Place a small piece of wood between piston and caliper fingers, then carefully depress brake pedal to hydraulically push piston out of bore. Prop brake pedal to any position below first inch of brake pedal travel to prevent brake fluid loss.
- If pistons are to be removed from both calipers, disconnect brake hose at frame bracket after removing piston, then cap brake line and repeat procedure to remove piston from other calip...
