This is what it was on my trailer.
Spring brake valve, with spring brake priority.
It is designed so that when air is applied, it first fills the spring brake chambers. Once they are released, then it fills the reservoirs on the trailer, which then supply the air suspension.
When this valve fails, it still fills the brake chambers, but will not fill the reservoirs, hence no air to the suspension.

Mine doing the same.. the front airbags are full of air the back are not. And the rear axle brakes lock up when you barely touch them.. $3000 later I can tell you it’s not airbags, brake chambers, the main valve that is on the tank.
