When I read up on this valve some time ago I concluded that there are only two uses of it instead of the three often stated. Note this quote from a link off Manny's site (spelling errors are theirs):

"The original brake combinaton valve installed in our coaches peforms two functions: it activates a warning light in the dash if there is unequal pressure between the front and rear brakes such as if there's a fluid leak on one side, and it includes a metering valve to delay the front disc brakes so they don't engage before the slow rear drum brakes"

Those who have all disks are also warned that the old valve needs mods to the metering part for that application. That leaves only one uses of the valve... a warning light.

I do highly regard your posts... maybe I am about to learn something.
