Removal Procedure


    Object Number: 241632  Size: SH

    Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Raise the vehicle.
  3. Support the vehicle with safety stands.
  4. Remove the electrical connector from the brake pressure differential switch.
  5. Remove the front and the rear brake pipes.

  6. Object Number: 241635  Size: SH

    Important: Note the identification code on the combination valve. The new valve must have the same identification number as the old valve.

  7. Remove the bolts (3) securing the combination valve (4) to the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) (1).
  8. Remove the combination valve from the BPMV.
  9. Remove the transfer tubes (5).

Installation Procedure

Important: Verify that the replacement combination valve has the same identification code as the code on the old combination valve.


    Object Number: 241635  Size: SH

    Important: Do not reuse the transfer tubes. Always install new transfer tubes with the new combination valve.

  1. Install the new transfer tubes (5) into the combination valve (4) until fully seated.
  2. Install the combination valve to the BPMV (1).
  3. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

  4. Install the combination valve bolts (3).
  5. Tighten
    Tighten the bolts first to 8 N·m (6 lb ft.), then to 16 N·m (12 lb ft).
