The tractor air control valve? Stops air from flowing to trailer red air line. Safety switch incase trailer falls off truck all the air will not go out the broken hose and cause tractor spring brakes to lock up due to low air. It can be tested by disconnecting red air line while trailer brakes air released. Air should stop at about 30psi I think.
