Removal & Installation: Notes
WARNING:
Vehicles are equipped with air bag supplemental restraint system. Before attempting ANY repairs involving steering column, instrument panel or related components, see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM in AIR BAGS -- ALLANTE
article.
CAUTION:
When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES -- GENERAL MOTORS
article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.
CAUTION:
Some operations require that hydraulic lines, hoses and fittings be disconnected for inspection testing and replacement purposes. This brake system uses a hydraulic accumulator which, when fully charged, contains brake fluid at high pressure. Before disconnecting any hydraulic lines, hoses or fittings, be sure that the accumulator is fully depressurized. Failure to depressurize the hydraulic accumulator may result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
The use of rubber hoses or parts other than those specified for the anti-lock brake system may lead to functional problems requiring major overhaul. Replace all components included in repair kits used to service this system. Lubricate rubber parts with clean, fresh brake fluid to ease assembly. Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts as damage to rubber components may result. If any hydraulic component is removed or brake line disconnected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of the brake system. The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.
CAUTION:
Certain components in the anti-lock brake system are not intended to be serviced individually. Attempting to remove or disconnect certain system components, such as the hydraulic accumulator and valve block, may result in personal injury and/or improper system operation. Only those components with approved removal and installation procedures in REMOVAL & INSTALLATION should be serviced.
