This is a brake relay traction valve, also known as an ABS modulator valve, for Volvo Bendix trucks. It plays a critical role in the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control system by regulating air pressure to the brake chambers. This ensures optimal braking performance and stability, especially during emergency stops or on slippery surfaces. Symptoms of a failing valve include ABS warning lights illuminating, inconsistent braking force, or the traction control system not engaging properly.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

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 most common initial symptom is the illumination of the ABS or traction control warning light on the dashboard. This can progress to inconsistent braking, where the truck pulls to one side during braking, or the traction control system fails to activate when wheel slip is detected. In severe cases, it can lead to reduced braking effectiveness and compromised vehicle stability.
Ensure all air lines are clean and free of debris before connecting them to the new valve to prevent internal contamination. Do not overtighten the mounting bolts, as this can distort the valve body.
It is recommended to check and clean the ABS wheel speed sensors and their wiring when replacing the brake relay traction valve.
