This is a Bendix ATR-6 brake relay traction valve, a crucial component in the air brake system of Volvo trucks, controlling air pressure to the trailer brakes. It is manufactured to meet rigorous safety and performance standards, ensuring consistent and reliable braking response, unlike a worn valve that may leak or activate erratically. Operators might experience delayed trailer brake application, uneven braking, or a loss of air pressure in the trailer brake system when this valve is faulty.

Flush hydraulic lines before fitting new components. Use only manufacturer-specified hydraulic fluid. Check O-rings and backup rings for correct orientation. Bleed air from system after installation.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The first indication of a failing brake relay traction valve is often a noticeable delay in the trailer brakes engaging or releasing. If the issue persists, the trailer brakes may apply unevenly or not hold pressure effectively, leading to reduced braking performance. The worst consequence is a potential loss of control during braking due to inconsistent or absent trailer brake function, posing a significant safety risk.
Ensure all air lines are clean and free of debris before connecting them to the new valve. Do not use excessive force when tightening the air line fittings, as this can damage the valve's ports.
Inspect all air lines connected to the valve for cracks or leaks, and check the air dryer for proper operation.
