SECTION J - REPAIR PROCEDURE MOMENTARY ILLUMINATION OF INSTRUMENT PACK WARNING LIGHTS

To install ground straps on vehicles from VIN 667829 to 685239, use the following procedure:
1. Raise the vehicle on a lift.
2. Remove both front wheels.




3. Use tin-snips to cut a 10 mm (3/81) section from the large eyelet end of both ground straps (LMB 3744AA) to form a spade end connection, Fig. 1.




4. Remove the bolt retaining the L/H ABS speed sensor, Fig. 2 A.

5. Align the small eyelet end of the ground strap to the ABS speed sensor bolt hole.

NOTE:
Position the ground strap to point upwards.

6. Refit and tighten the bolt retaining the L/H ABS speed sensor to secure the ground strap, Fig. 2 B.
7. Clean any underseal material from around the nut (Fig. 3 C) which retains the brake hose to its bracket. Loosen the nut until the shake-proof washer (Fig. 3 D) is loose.




8. Slide the spade end of the ground strap under the shake-proof washer. The ground strap must face towards the rear of the vehicle, (Fig. 3). Re-tighten the nut to clamp the ground strap between the shake-proof washer and the brake hose mounting bracket.
9. Note the location of the ratchet strap retaining the brake pad sensor harness to the brake hose, (Fig. 3 E). Cut and discard the ratchet strap.
10. Install a NEW ratchet strap (C 46294) at the same position around the brake hose, brake pad sensor harness and ground strap. Tighten the ratchet strap only enough to ensure it stays in place.

NOTE:
DO NOT pull the strap fully tight.

11. Cut off the protruding tail of the ratchet strap.
12. Fit the second ground strap on the R/H front hub, using the same procedure.

NOTE:
There is no brake pad wear sensor wire at the R/H brake hose. The ratchet strap fitted around the brake hose retains only the ground strap to the brake hose. Locate the ratchet strap at the lowest point of the brake hose.

13. Refit the front wheel assemblies.
14. Lower the vehicle from the lift.
