There are four basic types of brake warning lamp switches as shown,Figs. through . When a pressure differential occurs between the front and rear brake systems, the valves will shuttle toward the side with the low pressure.

In the switch shown inFig. , movement of the differential valve forces the switch plunger upward over the tapered shoulder of the valve to close the switch contacts and light the dual brake warning lamp, signaling a brake system failure.

InFig. , the valve assembly consists of two valves in a common bore that are spring loaded ...

Vehicle: 1990 Oldsmobile 98 Regency 3.8 V6 GAS

When working on or around brake assemblies, care must be taken to prevent breathing asbestos dust, as many manufacturers incorporate asbestos fibers in the production of brake linings. During routine service operations the amount of asbestos dust from brake lining wear is at a low level due to a chemical breakdown during use, and a few precautions will minimize exposure.

  • Do not sand or grind brake linings unless suitable local exhaust ventilation equipment is used to prevent excessive asbestos exposure.
  • Wear a suitable respirator approved for asbestos dust use during all repai...

To test the valve, install gauge set shown in Fig. in brake line between master cylinder and proportioning valve, and at outpu...
