Tractor protection valve is the valve that's mounted down on the frame or behind the cab. Its purpose is to protect tractor service air from escaping out the service line when bobtail.
Edit: The valve on the dash attached to the red knob is called the trailer supply valve. Modern trucks its usually integrated with the yellow tractor park brake valve.Hulld, dibstr and Snailexpress Thank this. -
I don't think it's broken. So it's kind of a moot point lol.
Blackshack46 and AModelCat Thank this. -
Its been a while. I knew it was somewhere around there.Bean Jr. Thanks this.

Thank you all. AModelCat i have this valve in my truck. Will replace it tonight and post updates.
For those who arguing about OOS criteria a few years ago I was under DOT inspection and she did this test. Truck next to me was set OOS for exact what I'm saying.
Snapshot from Meritor manual will helpBean Jr. Thanks this. -
The very first paragraph contradicts #7 on that screenshot.
Snailexpress and Bean Jr. Thank this. -
Ok i stand corrected.

I stand corrected.

Thank you, I was just about to say something but you saved me some typing.

Won’t argue with the manual on what it should be, but for OOS it is incorrect. For OOS the yellow button is not required to pop out and the red button must pop out before pressure drops below 20 psi. If she did the tests above she went well beyond her training or what is required.Bean Jr. and Snailexpress Thank this.
