Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation

The brake pressure control valve:
-

regulates the hydraulic pressure in the rear brake system.

Operation is as follows:
-

When the brake pedal is applied, the full, rear brake fluid pressure passes through the proportioning valve to the rear brake system until the valve
split point is reached.

-

Above its split point, the proportioning valve begins to reduce the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes, creating a balanced braking condition
between the front and rear wheels to minimize rear wheel skidding during hard braking.
