there's an audible air leak from under the dash when the foot valve is applied. technician A
says the double check valve may be faulty. Tech B says the single check valve may be
faulty. who's correct?
Tech A only
on a straight truck equipped with air brake, the secondary tank pressure gauge falls to zero
when the wet tank air is drained. Tech A says the one way check valve is faulty, Tech B
says the foot valve may be faulty. Who's correct?
Tech A only. one way check valve protects secondary tank

codes. What is the cause?
Modulator Valve seat
air is leaking from a quick release valve mounted on the front axle during service
application. What is the cause?
Quick release
