    Good day all my 96 kw t600 is letting air out the service line when i apply the brakes when i'm bobtailing. At first i thought it was a rear brake booster but turned out to be the service line letting the air out.

    The valve is also called a tractor protection valve. It will be located along the frame somewhere it depends on make. Not sure were kw puts them. follow service line from gladhand. Both service and supply lines connect to the valve.

    Tractor protection valve is done. The valve shuttles over when trailer supply button is pushed in, allowing service air to the trailer. Spool in the valve is probably gummed up and sticking. The valve on my W900A is located inside the left frame rail, next to the transmission.
