What are the differences in Brake Proportioning Valve configurations for the Nissan Maxima?

On vehicles produced in 1993 and 1994 model year, the proportioning valve is internally built in the master cylinder. For 1995 and later models there is no Anti-lock Brake System in it then two proportioning valves are installed in the master cylinder and for the models which have ABS a remote dual proportioning valve is installed. These valves cannot be serviced, if the check is needed it's recommended to do it a dealer service department or a shop that uses pressure gauges. If the valve is leaking or if it is decided to be bad, then the same has to be replaced by disconnecting the brake lines with flare-nut wrench and unbolting the valve from its mounting or unscrewing it from the master cylinder. As if often the case after a mechanical adjustment has been made, there is the need to bleed the brake system after the new valve has been put in place.

Nissan Maxima Brake Proportioning Valve

The Nissan Maxima Brake Proportioning Valve maintains stability during panic stops by reducing the amount of fluid pressure that goes to the rear drums. This allows the front discs to take a heavier load a lot easier without the tail sliding. Positioned adjacent to the master cylinder, this valve intervenes only when a sudden surge in hydraulic pressure compresses a spring, causing a piston to interrupt fluid flow to the rear. The Brake Proportioning Valve controls rear wheel lock-up through pressure balancing, which gives the driver more steering control. Over the years, the Maxima has applied three styles of Brake Proportioning Valve, named fixed, adjustable, and lever type, the name representing how the driver or factory sets rear line pressure on disc-drum layout. The adjustable version allows enthusiasts to turn a knob to tailor brake bias. The lever style simply changes a single line through a movable arm. The fixed Brake Proportioning Valve is sent preset for stock balance and works well for many daily Nissan driving. The modern Nissan safety systems rely on this delicate interplay, and every Maxima owner finds comfort in knowing the Brake Proportioning Valve's at work.
