Integrated Control Unit - MK25E: Removal
- Disconnect negative (-) battery cable from battery post and isolate.
- With engine not running, pump brake pedal until a firm pedal is achieved (4-5 strokes).
- Remove nuts fastening coolant recovery bottle in place and reposition bottle with hoses attached out of way. (Refer to COOLING/ENGINE/COOLANT RECOVERY PRESS CONTAINER - REMOVAL)
- Thoroughly clean all surfaces of brake fluid reservoir and master cylinder, paying special attention to area where master cylinder attaches to power brake booster. Use only Mopar(R) Brake Parts Cleaner or equivalent.
- Disconnect wiring harness connector from brake fluid level switch in master cylinder brake fluid reservoir. See Fig 1.
1 - MASTER CYLINDER 2 - SENSOR WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR 3 - BOOSTER 4 - MOUNTING NUT - Disconnect primary and secondary brake tubes coming from master cylinder at ABS ICU. See Fig 2. Cap off brake tubes and install sealing plugs in open brake tube outlet ports of ICU.
1 - MASTER CYLINDER 2 - PRIMARY BRAKE TUBE 3 - ICU 4 - SECONDARY BRAKE TUBE - Remove two nuts attaching master cylinder to power brake booster. See Fig 1.
- Slide master cylinder straight out of power brake booster and remove. See Fig 1.

1 - LEFT FRONT CHASSIS BRAKE TUBE 2 - RIGHT FRONT CHASSIS BRAKE TUBE 3 - ICU 4 - LEFT REAR CHASSIS BRAKE TUBE 5 - RIGHT REAR CHASSIS BRAKE TUBE - Disconnect the 47-way connector from the antilock brake module (ABM) by depressing the tabs on each side of the connector cover. See Fig 4, then pulling outward and upward on the lower half of the cover until it locks into position pointing straight outward. The connector can then be pulled straight outward off the ABM. See Fig 5.

1 - MOUNTING BOLTS 2 - ICU - Lift ICU off frame rail bolts and remove from vehicle.
- If ABM and HCU need to be separated, (Refer to BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ICU (INTEGRATED CONTROL UNIT - DISASSEMBLY)
CAUTION:
Vacuum in power brake booster must be pumped down (removed) before removing master cylinder from power brake booster. This is necessary to prevent power brake booster from sucking in any contamination as master cylinder is removed. This can be done simply by pumping brake pedal, with vehicle's engine not running, until a firm feeling brake pedal is achieved.
CAUTION:
Before removing master cylinder from power brake vacuum booster, master cylinder and vacuum booster must be thoroughly cleaned. This must be done to prevent dirt particles from falling into power brake vacuum booster.
