Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation

IMPORTANT:  Do not wash the proportioning valve in any cleaning solution. The internal components are prelubricated with a special grease.

The proportioning valves are located in the master cylinder. The valves proportion the brake fluid to each rear caliper after a predetermined amount of
pressure is reached. This feature maintains a proper brake force balance during all braking maneuvers.
