- Push the reset button located on the valve with your fingers, which will reset it so the valve is working properly again. Inspect the brake pressure.
What happens when a proportioning valve goes bad?
Since the proportioning valve decreases the pressure sent to the rear brakes, the main symptom the valve is going bad is the rear wheels locking up when the brakes are applied. Furthermore, the wheels will lock up more easily on wet surfaces. The rear brakes may feel touchy when applied even gently.

How do you Currenter a proportioning valve?
Slowly open a bleeder to the front brake system, and in a little bit, you will hear a sharp “click” as the valve goes back on center. Close the bleeder as soon as the valve clicks. I have done it this way about a dozen times and it is quick and easy.

Why am I not getting any brake fluid to rear brakes?
If there are no brake fluid pressure rear brakes, check for the pipes that deliver brake fluid to the rear brakes. Sometimes these pipes are exposed to corrosion that makes them have holes and leak the brake fluid. This makes the rear wheels not to bleed air, and make no pressure in the rear wheels.
Do you need a brake proportioning valve?
Yes. The addition of a proportioning valve is a must. Without it your braking system will not operate properly.
Do you need a proportioning valve with drum brakes?
You are correct that stock drum/drum systems don’t need (or ever used, to my knowledge) a prop valve. By switching to a dual master with the same bore size as your single does not change the braking or balance, just splits the hydraulic system from one to two.
Can a proportioning valve be cleaned?

What are the signs of a bad master cylinder?
- Warning Light.
- Brake Fluid Leak.
- Spongy Brake Pedal.
- Contaminated Brake Fluid.
- Sinking Brake Pedal.
- Bad Brake Bias.
- Uneven Brake Pad Wear.
Why do I have no brake pressure after bleeding brakes?
This is likely not the case; the condition can be caused by the piston sticking in the bore of the master cylinder during the bleeding process when the brake system is manually bled. The brake pedal will go to the floor and subsequent efforts to get a satisfactory brake pedal will fail.
