To adjust the brakes on a 2001 Rubicon 500 FA, first, ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and secured. Locate the brake adjustment mechanism, typically found near the brake lever or at the rear brake caliper. Adjust the tension by turning the adjustment bolt or nut clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen, ensuring the brakes engage properly without dragging. Finally, test the brakes to confirm they function effectively before taking the vehicle for a ride.

QR-1C valve takes air from the PP-1 or MV3 valve. That air goes through a line to the inlet of the QR-1C valve. As it does, it pushes down a diaphragm, which covers the exhaust port. Thus, the air is piped out of the outlet ports to the spring brake side of the brake chamber. When the air supply is removed, the diaphragm returns to an open state. This opens the exhaust port, and air from the spring brake chamber is evacuated out through it. If it's leaking air, if your brakes aren't releasing, if your brakes aren't setting when you pull the yellow brake control valve, or you get air exhausting steadily through the treadle valve with the brake control valve pressed, an issue exists.
Check the release switch that connects to the brakes. On many vehicles the brake light switch will cause the cruise to disengage. Next time, try pulling up on the brake pedal when you engage cruise. If it works when you're pulling up, you might be able to adjust the switch. It's physically connected to the brake pedal.
