Note 1: The valves are removable only on early models with Mecatronic ABS. On late models with ABS, the valves are not removable. Their functions are performed by the hydraulic modulator.
Note 2: See warning at the beginning paragraph 15 on careful handling of brake fluid.
Removal
1. On models equipped with ABS, such valves are installed on the hydraulic modulator (see Fig. 19.1).
Fig. 19.1. Location of pressure limiting valves on the ABS hydraulic modulator.
1. Rear right brake valve
2. Exhaust port, front left brake
3. Inlet, from master cylinder (secondary circuit)
4. Rear left brake valve
5. Exhaust port, front right brake
6. Inlet, from master cylinder (primary circuit)
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable (chapter 5 paragraph 1).
3. Remove the air cleaner (chapter 4). Remove the air intake duct and its chamber.
4. Disconnect the low fluid level indicator electrical connector on the brake system reserve reservoir,
5. Unscrew the reserve tank cap, seal the tank with a thin film and tighten the cap to minimize leaks when removing the valve later.
6. Loosen the master cylinder mounting nuts. Carefully remove the cylinder from the servo booster without disconnecting the brake lines. Move the master cylinder to the left in the engine compartment and support it on the upper support of the left suspension strut.
7. Loosen the servo amplifier mounting nuts and move the servo amplifier to the side.
8. Place rags around the hydromodulator to catch any drips.
9. Wipe the valve to be removed. Hold the valve with a wrench and unscrew the connection nut. Pull the pipe out and bend it slightly away from the valve.
10. Unscrew the valve from the hydraulic modulator.
Installation
11. Installation - in the reverse order of removal. Finally, remove air from the hydraulic system (paragraph 15).
