Nissan Quest Brake Proportioning Valve

The Brake Proportioning Valve for Nissan Quest is an essential component that aids minivan during sudden stops. It controls the hydraulic pressure between the front and rear brakes. As a result, it helps prevent the rear wheels from locking up and keeps minivan stable. The valve is mounted next to the master cylinder. The valve links to the anti-lock braking system where it examines the fluid pressure when the brake pedal is applied. During a regular braking situation, fluid flows in a balanced manner. However, under panic braking a build-up of pressure compresses an internal spring which moves the piston to close off the internal passage. This prevents fluid flowing to the rear circuit and allows a higher flow and pressure to the front brakes which are seeing greater weight transfer. The Brake Proportioning Valve allows one set of brakes to engage more than another. In this case, it's the front disc brakes over the rear drum brakes. This helps reduce the chance of skidding. Through the Brake Proportioning Valve, the Quest distributes pressure to the point where it can do good in any hard stop. All Quest drivers benefit from this proportioning effect. By regularly inspecting the Brake Proportioning Valve housing for corrosion which could potentially impede piston movement, this essential part will continue to operate reliably and safeguard operation of the Nissan Quest braking system. The Brake Proportioning Valve is also responsible for maintaining factory-balanced braking on Nissan vehicles, strengthening brake safety across the wider Nissan lineup.

Nissan Quest Brake Proportioning Valve Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How to replace a defective Brake Proportioning Valve on the Nissan Quest?
    A:
    With the vehicle unloaded and parked on a level driveway, measure the length of the load sensing valve spring. Have an assistant sit on the rear seat and then slowly step out of the vehicle to stabilize the suspension, then recheck the spring length. If it is still incorrect, adjust the spring length by loosening the eye bracket opposite the load sensing valve, adjusting the spring length, and tightening the bracket bolts to the specified torque. The dual load sensing valve is mounted on the frame above the axle and is not serviceable; if malfunction is suspected, it should be checked by a dealer service department or a repair shop equipped with the necessary pressure gauges. If the valve is leaking or determined to be defective, replace it by unscrewing the four Brake Lines with a flare-nut wrench and unbolting the valve from its mounting bracket. After installing the new valve, tighten the bolts to the specified torque and bleed the brake system.
