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

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 battery negative cable.
2. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
3. Remove the EHCU splash shield.
4. Remove the combination valve electrical connector.
5. Remove the front and the rear brake pipes.
6. Remove the three bolts securing combination valve to the BPMV (11).
7. Remove the combination valve from the BPMV (12).
8. Remove the two transfer tubes (13).

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

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

1. Install the two new transfer tubes into the combination valve until fully seated (13).
2. Install the combination valve to BPMV (12).

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.

3. Install the three combination valve bolts (11).

Tighten
Tighten the bolts first to 8 N·m (6 lb ft), then to 16 N·m (12 lb ft).

4. Install the front and the rear brake pipes to the combination valve.

Tighten
Tighten the brake pipe nuts to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).

5. Connect the combination valve electrical connector.
6. Install the EHCU splash shield.

Tighten
Tighten the splash shield bolts to 16 N·m (12 lb ft).

7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Connect the battery negative cable.

Important: Verify that the combination valve metering rod is depressed during bleeding.

9. Bleed the brake system. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding .
