Gear Tension Relief (F5)

When the displacement cylinder pistons are in the "home" position, each motor has prevailing torque. This torque results in "gear tension", or force on each gear that makes motor pack separation difficult. To avoid injury, or damage to the gears, the "Gear Tension Relief Function" briefly reverses each motor to eliminate the prevailing torque. Always perform the "Gear Tension Relief Function" prior to removing ABS actuator assembly (the hydraulic modulator/motor pack assembly) from the vehicle.
