A commercial motor vehicle’s tractor protection system consists of a tractor protection valve, trailer supply valve and anti-bleed back valve.

All valves should be properly tested during a driver’s trip inspection and an inspector’s roadside inspection.

During the inspection of tractor protection system components, the inspector will:

Direct the driver to release all brakes by pressing dash valves.
Have the driver carefully remove the gladhands and allow air to escape.
Ensure the air stops leaking from the supply line with at least 20 psi remaining.
Listen and/or feel for any leaking air at the gladhand couplers on the trailer.
Request a full service brake application by the driver.
Listen and/or feel for leaks from both air lines.
