During any service pro- PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL WARNING LIGHT The hydraulic brake system, on non-ABS vehicles, is split diagonally. The left front and right rear and left rear are part of another. Both systems are If hydraulic pressure is lost in one system, the warning light switch will activate a red light on the The warning light switch is the latching type. It will automatically center itself after the repair is The instrument panel bulb can be checked each time the ignition switch is turned to the start position or the NON-ABS PROPORTIONING UNIT OPERATION The proportioning valve section operates by trans- mitting full input pressure to the rear brakes up to a On light pedal applications equal brake pressure will be transmitted to the front and rear brakes. On heavier applications the pressure transmitted Fig. 1 Brake Combination Valve And Warning Switch Location Fig. 2 Switch and Valve Assembly 5 - 26 BRAKES Ä |
