kPa/minute) with engine stopped and without
brake applied. Perform a full brake application.
Air loss should not exceed 7 psi/minute (48 kPa/
minute).
Brake Test
Release parking and emergency brakes. Pump
service brake pedal until air pressure drops to 65
psi (448 kPa). Make sure the warning buzzer
operates and that the emergency brakes apply
(the control valve knob lifts up). Allow air
pressure to reach 95 psi (655 kPa) before
releasing parking brake.

Driving the vehicle while the parking brake is
applied should not be possible.
