If there is a failure in the primary service circuit, what is the first warning that a driver will receive?

In the event of a failure in the primary service circuit, the first warning a driver will receive is a low air pressure warning. The air brake system relies on compressed air for operation, and if there is a failure in the primary service circuit, it typically results in a loss of air pressure. Therefore, the low air pressure warning is designed to alert the driver to the risk that brake performance is compromised.

This warning is critical because it informs the driver that immediate attention is required to address the air pressure issue to ensure safe operation of the vehicle. The other options, while related to different systems or conditions in the vehicle, do not directly indicate a primary service circuit failure as effectively and immediately as the low air pressure warning does. This makes the response to low air pressure a key safety aspect in air brake systems.
