Rear Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System

1986 GMC Suburban C2500, 5.7 M, StandardSECTION Rear Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System
NOTE: On models equipped with anti-lock brake systems, ALWAYS observe the following cautions:
  • DO NOT attempt to bleed hydraulic system without first referring to appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article in the BRAKES Section.
  • DO NOT mix tire sizes. As long as tires remain close to the original diameter, increasing the width is acceptable. Rolling diameter must be identical for all 4 tires. Some manufacturers recommend tires of the same brand, style and type. Failure to follow this precaution may cause inaccurate wheel speed readings.
  • Use ONLY recommended brake fluids. DO NOT use silicone brake fluids in an ABS-equipped vehicle.
