  Q: How to Address Issues with the Brake Proportioning Valve on a Ford Escape?

  A: The brake proportioning/combination valve requires brake pressure control valve removal as a first step of service and repair work. The six Brake Line fittings need disconnecting while plugging the brake lines to stop fluid leakage. Proceed with the removal of bolts which attach the brake pressure control valve. After installation follow the approach of reversing the removal sequence while properly bleeding the brake system. Safety precautions should be taken when dealing with brake fluid because it includes polyglycol ethers along with polyglycols which can lead to skin irritation. Handle eye contact carefully by rinsing your hands completely after working with the fluid. Severe eye contact requires you to constantly wash with running water for 15 minutes followed by medical help for lasting irritation symptoms. Wash out the substance by drinking water followed by vomiting induction and urgent medical assistance. The hydraulic system contains brake fluid which needs caution because it damages painted surfaces and plastics thus any spills must get immediate water washing.
