Practice question
A single-unit applied leak check drops from 120 psi to 115 psi over two minutes with the engine off and full brake application held. How should this result be interpreted?
- It passes because the loss averages 2.5 psi per minute, below the 3 psi per minute limit
- It fails because any pressure drop is illegal
- It fails because single units are allowed only 1 psi total loss
- It cannot be evaluated because gauges are never used in leak checks
Answer: A — It passes because the loss averages 2.5 psi per minute, below the 3 psi per minute limit
