Switch/Relief Valve


Failure of the switch/relief valve is indicated when vacuum is applied to the valve and air injection is not directed upstream (to the exhaust manifold crossover tube), or if air is injected both upstream and downstream. If the relief valve fails, air will escape from the silencer at engine idle speed. This valve is not serviceable and must be replaced if defective.
