Replacing the braking force corrector

Each of the diagonally divided circuits of the braking system is equipped with a brake force regulator. Correctors are placed next to the master cylinder.

Always replace both correctors, paying attention to their type of performance (ATE or GMF) and stamped numbers, which must be the same on both equalizers.

■ Close the filler opening of the brake fluid reservoir tightly.

■ Unscrew the brake hose from each corrector.

■ Unscrew the correctors from the master cylinder.

■ Screw in new correctors and tighten them to torque 11 N m m (ATE type correctors) or 40 Nm (GMF type correctors).

■ Tighten the cap nuts of the brake lines to the torque 11 N-m.

■ Vent the system and check for leaks.

Estate cars (Caravan) are equipped with a brake force regulator, which regulates the brake fluid pressure depending on the loads on the rear axle wheels of the vehicle at the time of braking.

Unscrew the spring bracket on the rear axle and slide it backwards. Disconnect the spring at the corrector, and then unscrew the wires connected to the equalizer.

Unscrew the corrector from the underside of the body and its cover.

Assembly is in reverse order. Hang the spring to the corrector and to the bracket at the rear axle. Push the lever all the way forward. Loosely tighten the bracket fixing bolt, which then so move, that the spring is neither stretched nor stretched, and there is no play in the corrector lever bracket. In this position, tighten the bracket permanently. Bleed the system and check for leaks.
