Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation

The proportioning/differential valve is used on vehicles equipped with the Antilock Brake System (ABS). Outlet pressure is controlled to the rear brakes
after a predetermined rear input pressure has been reached. This allows for smooth braking action and reduces the chances of rear wheel lockup during
normal braking.
The proportional/differential valve has a bypass feature which insures full system pressure to the rear brakes in the event of a front brake system failure.
In case of a rear brake system failure, full system pressure is delivered to the front brake system. For proportional/differential valve service procedures,
refer to Proportioning Valve Replacement.
