So where should I start the diagnosis?

Check spring brake relay valve and/or quick release valve. Might be sticking and not dumping air fast enough.

If taking awhile to exhaust air to apply springs then i’d look for a line restriction, bad quick release valve, or plugged exhaust in dash valve or quick release valve.
If exhausts air and applies springs like normal but takes awhile for shoes to grab and lock down drums to stop a rollaway. I’d look at possible broken springs in chambers, bad slacks/ or out of adjustment, camshafts defective, lack of grease or grease turned to glue, shoes and drums beyond service size and wear tolerances or getting oil contamination.Another Canadian driver, omardten and Yousername Thank this. -
