    I have been working on a 2008 volvo vnl plow truck. Regardless if the park valve button is in or out if I make a brake application air will constantly leak out the yellow exhaust line under the cab that I believe runs to the park valve. The unit does have both Yello and red buttons but does not tow and the outlet ports of the tractor protection valve are plugged. I suspect something in the system is back feeding just do not know what. The park valve (dash valve) has been replaced and problem still exists.

    Thanks Nasriza it does not have a spike but it turned out to be a faulty tractor protection valve. It is a plow that is the third spare and selling in spring that never has had a hitch or trailer cords so I eliminated the valve by plugging the supply lines.
