ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
BOSCH ABS 38
IMPORTANT NOTE
• COMPUTER
Never disconnect the computer when the circuit is being fed.

The earths and resistances must be checked when the battery is disconnected.
• BRAKING COMPENSATOR
On this vehicle, the braking compensator is suppressed (on versions equipped with ABS). It is ensured by a
special programme stored in the ABS assembly computer and known as REF (Electronic Braking
Distributor).
IMPORTANT: if the ABS fuse is removed, do not brake sharply during a road test as the REF function is no
longer activated (identical front and rear pressure), there is therefore a risk that the vehicle will spin.

BLEEDING PROCEDURE
NOTE: the hydraulic assembly is pre-filled.
This bleeding procedure can be carried out after removal of the following components:
- the hydraulic assembly,
- the master cylinder,
- the pipework (between assembly and master cylinder).
NOTE: the braking circuit equipped with ABS should be free of faults and should operate correctly. If this is
not the case, repair the ABS circuit hydraulically and electrically. To do this, refer to MR 315 section 38.
1) Carry out the conventional bleeding operation for the braking circuit by foot.
NOTE: if the pedal travel is not correct after a road test with ABS regulation, bleed the hydraulic assembly.
2) Bleed the hydraulic assembly.
IMPORTANT: observe the bleeding order, beginning with the rear right brake, then the rear left, front left
then the front right brake.
a) Bleed the rear right hand brake by bleeding the secondary circuit of the hydraulic assembly using the
XR25 :
- position the bleed bottle and the hose, open the brake bleed screw,
- pump the brake pedal (approximately 10 times),
- start the bleed command on the XR25,
- pump the brake pedal during the bleed fault finding phase,
- at the end of the bleed cycle on the XR25, continue to pump the brake pedal and close the brake
bleed screw.
b) Carry out the procedure described at a) for the rear left, front left and front right brake.
c) Check the pedal travel. If this is not satisfactory, begin the bleed procedure again.
IMPORTANT : ensure that there is always enough brake fluid in the reservoir.

BOSCH ABS 38
CHECKING THE ALLOCATION OF THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS
Carry out:
a) A resistance check of the sensor connectors (from the computer connector to the two track speed sensor
connector).
b) A visual check of the target teeth: if there is a fault here, replace the target (see the method described in
MR 315 section 38).
c) A check of the air gap using a set of feeler gauges.
Front: 0.35 < Z < 1.35 mm Rear: 0.6 < Z < 1.6 mm
It is only possible to check the air gap on vehicles

equipped with rear disc brakes.
PRN3820
d) A check of the sensor mounting.

Fault finding - Introduction 38
CONDITIONS FOR APPLYING THE CHECKS DEFINED IN THIS FAULT FINDING
The checks defined in this fault finding are only to be applied to a vehicle if the description of the fault being
dealt with corresponds exactly with the display on the XR25 .
If a fault is dealt with due to a bargraph flashing, the conditions for confirming the actual presence of the
fault (and the need to apply fault finding) are given in the "Notes" box or at the start of the bargraph
interpretation procedure.
If a bargraph is only interpreted when it is permanently illuminated, applying the tests recommended in the
fault finding when the bargraph is flashing will not allow the reason why this fault was memorised to be
located. In this case, only the wiring of the faulty component should be checked (the fault is simply
memorised since it was not present at the time of the test).
NOTE: the ignition must have been switched off before use of the XR25 .
SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED FOR WORKING ON THE ABS SYSTEM
- XR25.
- XR25 cassette n° 18, minimum.
Reminders:
When memorising an intermittent fault, the ABS warning light will illuminate the next time the
vehicle is used until the speed equals 7.5 mph (12 km/h). When the fault is memorised, a counter
associated with the fault is set to 40. The value will be reduced each time the ignition is switched
on if the fault is not present when the vehicle speed exceeds 7.5 mph (12 km/h).
When the counter value equals 1, it is no longer reduced and the fault is erased.

BARGRAPH SYMBOLS
- Faults (always on coloured background):
If illuminated, indicates a fault on the product tested. The associated text defines
the fault.
The bargraph can be:
- Illuminated : fault present.
- Flashing : fault memorised.
- Extinguished : fault absent or not detected.
- Status (always on white background):
Bargraph always located at the top right.

If illuminated, indicates that dialogue has been established with the product
computer.
If it remains extinguished:
- The code does not exist.
- There is an XR25, computer or XR25 / computer connection fault.
The representation of the following bargraphs indicates their initial status:

Initial status (ignition on, engine stopped, no operator action).
or Indefinite
is illuminated when the function or condition specified on the
fiche is being met.
Extinguished

NOTES None.
Ensure that the XR25 is not the cause of the fault by trying to communicate with a computer on another
vehicle. If the XR25 is not at fault and dialogue is not established with any other computer on the same
vehicle, it may be that a faulty computer is disrupting diagnostic link K and L. Disconnect each computer
in turn to locate the faulty one.
Check that the ISO selector is in position S8, that you are using XR25 cassette 18 and the correct access
code.
Check the battery voltage and carry out the necessary operations to obtain the correct voltage (9.5 volts
< U battery < 17.5 volts).
Check the presence and condition of the ABS fuse on the passenger compartment connection unit (7.5A).
Check the connection of the computer connector and the condition of its connections.
Check the connection and condition of the front left wing connector connections in the engine
connection unit (R183).
Check the ABS earths (tightness of the ND earth).
Check that the computer is correctly fed:
- earth on track 19 of the 31 track connector,
- + after ignition feed on track 15 of the 31 track connector.
Check that the diagnostic socket is correctly fed:

- + before ignition feed on track 13 of the 26 track yellow passenger compartment connection unit
connector (A).
- earth on track 1 of the white connector (C).
Check the continuity and insulation of the diagnostic socket / ABS computer connection lines:
- between track 12 of the computer connector and track 15 of the diagnostic socket,
- between track 11 of the computer connector and track 7 of the diagnostic socket.
If dialogue is still not established after these various checks, replace the ABS computer.

Chart 7 LOCKING OF ONE OR MORE WHEELS
Reminder: Locking of the wheels on a vehicle equipped with ABS or tyre squeal, which the customer
perceives to be the wheels locking, can be linked to a normal reaction of the system and
should not systematically be considered to be a fault:
- Locking is allowed below 3.75 mph (6 km/h) (the system no longer triggers regulation).
- Braking with ABS regulation on very poor roads (high degree of tyre squeal).
However, if a wheel is actually locking, raise the vehicle so that the wheels can be turned and check for:
- A possible inversion in the connection of the speed sensors.

• Use functions #01, #02, #03 and #04 while rotating the associated wheels and ensure the coherence of
the results obtained.
• If the value measured is zero, turn the other wheels to confirm an electrical inversion of the sensors and
repair the wiring.
- A possible inversion of the hydraulic assembly pipework.

• Use functions G03*, G04*, G05* and G06* whilst pressing the brake pedal and check for the presence of
ten locking/releasing cycles on the wheel in question (consult the "aid" section).
• If the ten cycles do not occur on the wheel tested (wheel remains locked), check whether they occur on
another wheel (if inversion is confirmed: repair).
• If the ten cycles do not occur on a wheel and the pipes are not incorrectly connected, replace the
hydraulic assembly.
• Check the condition of the ABS targets and their conformity.
• Also check the sensor / target air gap over one revolution of each of the wheels:
Front 0.3 mm < air gap over one revolution < 1.4 mm.
Rear 0.6 mm < air gap over one revolution < 1.6 mm.
If the fault persists after these checks, replace the hydraulic assembly.

UNEXPECTED ABS OPERATION AT LOW SPEED AND LOW
Chart 10
PEDAL FORCE
Vibrations can be felt at the brake pedal which are linked to reactions of the system in specific conditions:
- driving over speed bumps.
- rear inside wheel lifts off the ground on tight bends.
This feeling may be linked to the operation of the "braking compensator" when the pressure is limited at
the rear axle assembly.
If the problem is different to this, check the speed sensor connectors (micro-cuts) and the air gaps.

UNEXPECTED ABS OPERATION UNDER POOR ROAD
Chart 11
CONDITIONS
On poor roads, it is normal to feel juddering and vibrations at the pedal as well as more tyre squeal than
when on a good road surface.
The result is an impression of a variation in efficiency which should be considered as being normal.

Chart 18 NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE ABS COMPUTER
Ensure that the XR25 is not the cause of the fault by trying to communicate with a computer on another
vehicle. If the XR25 is not at fault and dialogue is not established with any other computer on the same
vehicle, it may be that a faulty computer is disrupting diagnostic link K and L. Disconnect each computer in
turn to locate the faulty one.
Check that the ISO selector is in position S8, that you are using XR25 cassette 18 and the correct access
code.
Check the battery voltage and carry out the necessary operations to obtain the correct voltage (9.5 volts <
U battery < 17.5 volts).
Check the presence and condition of the ABS fuse on the passenger compartment connection unit (7.5A).
Check the connection of the computer connector and the condition of its connections.
Check the connection and condition of the connections in the connection unit/ ABS (R183).
Check the ABS earths (tightness of MAD and ND earths).
- earth on track 19 of the 31 track connector,
- +after ignition feed on track 15 of the 31 track connector.
Check that the diagnostic socket is correctly fed:

- +before ignition feed on track 13 of the 26 track yellow passenger compartment connection unit
connector (A).
- earth on track 1 of the white connector (C).
Check the continuity and insulation of the diagnostic socket / ABS computer connection lines:
- between track 12 of the computer connector and track 15 of the diagnostic socket,
- between track 11 of the computer connector and track 7 of the diagnostic socket.
If dialogue is still not established after these various checks, replace the ABS computer.
