When installing new brake discs, you must reco d new measurements for axle's service brake
r
wear indicator. Use this procedure in order to record new measurements. The information will be
recorded in powertrain electronic control module (ECM).
Individual service brakes use in icator pins to determine amount of wear on existing service
d
brake discs. Indicator pins are located on each side of front and rear axle center housings. When
installing new brake discs, you must record these measurements immediately.
Measurements must be recorded for each servce brake containing new brake discs. Measure-
i
ments are used as reference dimensions. Measurements are used to calculate amount of wear for a
given brake disc.
The following steps require accumuator pressure for service brakes:
l
1.
Start and run engine until brake accumulators reach cut-out pressure (less than 30 seconds) (TM 5-3805-291-10).
2.
Stop engine (TM 5-3805-291-10).
3.
Clean area around plug (12).
4.
