On a combination vehicle, does the low air pressure warning respond to pressure in the trailer's air tanks as well as the tractor's?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 60 (Air Brakes): The warning is built around the tractor's own air system, which is what actually supplies and monitors the trailer's brakes through the shared lines
Why
The tractor's air system supplies and monitors the whole combination through shared lines, so a real pressure problem anywhere in that shared system, trailer included, can affect the tractor's own warning.
