Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation

The brake pressure control valve proportions the pressure to the rear brakes.
- When the brake pedal is applied, brake fluid under pressure passes through the proportioning valves to the rear brake system until the valve split point is reached.
- Above its split point, the proportioning valve begins to proportionally limit the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes, creating a balanced braking condition between the front and rear brakes.
