Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Testing and Inspection
LESS ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
If premature rear wheel skid occurs on hard brake application, it could be an indication of a malfunctioning proportioning valve unit.
The proportioning valve is designed with two separate systems. One half controls the right rear brake, and the other half controls the left rear brake. A
road test to determine which rear brake slides first must be performed.
1. If right rear wheel slides first, leave front brakes connected to valve, then proceed as follows:
Fig 43 Type 4 Proportioning Valve Pressure Gauge Test Connections. Right Wheel Malfunction Less ABS
a. Install one gauge of set tool No. C-4007A, or equivalent, between brake line from master cylinder secondary port and brake valve assembly.
b. Install second gauge of set tool No. C-4007A, or equivalent, as shown. A special adapter may be fabricated from a short piece of brake tube
and one 3/8 X 24 tube nuts and one M10 X 1 tube nut.
c. Bleed the hose and gauge set.
d. While watching pressure gauges, have an assistant depress the brake pedal. Note gauge readings, then refer to Hydraulic Brake
System/Specifications.
2. If left rear wheel slides first, leave front brakes connected to valve, then proceed as follows:
Fig 44 Type 4 Proportioning Valve Pressure Gauge Test Connections. Left Wheel Malfunctions Less ABS
a. Install one gauge of set tool No. C-4007A, or equivalent, between brake line from master cylinder secondary port and brake valve assembly.
b. Install gauge set tool No. C-4007A, or equivalent, as shown. A special adapter may be fabricated from a M12x1 tube nut, a short piece of
brake tube and a 3/8 X 24 tube nut.
c. Bleed hose and gauge set.
d. While watching pressure gauges, have an assistant depress the brake pedal. Note gauge readings, then refer to Hydraulic Brake
System/Specifications.
3. If pressure readings are not as specified for left or right rear wheel, replace the combination valve. After installing a new combination valve, bleed
