(14) Solenoid valve for maximum pressure
(15) Pressure regulator
(16) Drain valve
(17) Brake air relay valve
(18) Brake air relay valve for the Automatic Retarder Control (ARC)
(19) Pressure protection valve for the brake air system

(27) Solenoid valve for autolube
(28) Air system pressure protection valve
(29) This is the stop lights pressure switch. This pressure switch is normally open. This pressure switch is closed by air pressure
when the service brakes, the retarder, or the Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) are applied. When this pressure switch is closed,
this pressure switch activates the stop lights.
(30) This is the pressure switch for the service brake and the retarder. This pressure switch is normally closed. This pressure
switch is opened by air pressure when the service brakes, the retarder, or the Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) are applied.
When this pressure switch is open, the pressure switch signals the Power Train ECM in order to allow the transmission to perform
rapid shifts. The Power Train ECM also indicates that higher engine rpm is needed for upshifts or for downshifts of the
transmission when this pressure switch is open.
(31) This is the secondary brake and parking brake pressure switch. This pressure switch is normally open. The pressure switch is
closed by air pressure when the parking brakes or secondary brakes are released. When this pressure switch is open, this pressure
switch signals the Power Train Electronic Control Module (Power Train ECM) to allow rapid shifts.
(32) This is the brake air pressure sensor. The brake air pressure sensor monitors brake air pressure. The operator will be alerted to
a condition of low air pressure.
(33) Double check valves
(34) Service brake air control valve
(35) Retarder air control valve
(36) Parking brake reset valve
(37) Front brake air/hydraulic cylinders
(38) Rear brake air/hydraulic cylinders
(39) This is the Automatic Retarder Control pressure switch. This pressure switch is normally closed. This pressure switch is
opened by air pressure in order to indicate that the Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) is operating. The pressure switch verifies
that air pressure is being provided through the Automatic Retarder Control valve.
(40) Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) valve
(41) Secondary brake air control valve
(42) Parking brake air control valve
(43) Air horn
(44) This is the manual retarder pressure switch. This pressure switch is normally open. This pressure switch is closed when the
