Which valve reduces rear brake pressure to prevent rear lock-up?

  • A.The bypass valve within the master cylinder, which allows the fluid to return to the reservoir when the pedal is released
  • B.The pressure proportioning or limiting valve
  • C.The residual pressure valve, which maintains a small pressure in the drum circuit in order to keep the seals expanded
  • D.The non return valve

Answer: B

Weight transfers forward under braking so the rear wheels lock first unless their pressure is limited, which the proportioning valve does above a threshold. Residual pressure valves exist for drum brakes but serve a different purpose entirely. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. The shared properties explain why these belong to one family, and the differences explain why more than one exists.
