DESCRIPTION

NOTE: Only vehicles without antilock brakes have proportioning valves. Vehicles with antilock brakes have Electronic Variable Brake Proportioning (EVBP) that is built into the Integrated Control Unit (ICU).





On the non-antilock master cylinder (1), two screw-in proportioning valves (2, 3) are screwed directly into the rear brake outlet ports. The chassis brake tubes leading to the rear brakes attach to the outlets of the proportioning valves. One proportioning valve controls each rear brake.

The proportioning valves are not identical and cannot be interchanged. The proportioning valve that threads into the primary port has 7/16 in.-24 threads in its outlet port. The proportioning valve that threads into the secondary port has 3/8 in.-24 threads in its outlet port.
