Brake Proportioning ValveCruize 05-29-2006, 01:50 PM If my ABS is not working at all, does that have any impact on the brake proportioning valve not working? When I hit the brakes suddenly on a wet road, the rear wheels locked up and the back end slid out to the side. The rain had already stopped and the fronts didn't lock at all.

What/which proportioning valve are you asking about? Better have a look at the ABS brakes. What year and 2 or 4 wheel drive and rear antilock or 4 wheel abs? Any lights on? MT Cruize 05-29-2006, 08:38 PM Well, I didn't know there was more than one brake proportioning valve. I guess I'll have to do some research. I was thinking of the one between front and rear brakes. I have a '95, 4x4, w/ 4 wheel ABS. Yes, the ABS dashboard light is on. The garage said one of the solenoid valves / pumps (?) hangs up. If you tap it with a hammer, it will free itself, work for a bit, and then hang up again. I'm thinking of taking a trip to some junkyards in search of a module assembly with valves / pumps.

I only see a conbination valve on it. Have you got a VCM or PCM computer on it? Have you had the system open or got air in it? A scsnner is required to bleed most of them. If the ABS light is on you need to get the code no. Also a ABS capable scanner is required to get codes. Post back code no. MT vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
