    Hi, I have a KW 2006 W900 cat C15. I fixed an air leak. I started the truck up to let the pressure build up. The primary gauge went to 130 quickly, the secondary gradually got up to 130. So I shut the truck off, I pushed the valves in, turned the key on, and I started pumping the brakes to do the low air pressure test. The light came on about 60psi and the buzzer never sounded. The air went all the way down to about 5 pounds before for the brake valves pop out.

    I have another question. Can the parking brake be bad? Thanks

    Does anyone know what the problem would be? I appreciate any help.

    Thank you.

    I would start with the tractor protection valve for the valves popping out. The buzzer is gonna be an electrical problem of some sort. Either power to buzzer possible bad sending unit telling buzzer to come etc. without some diag there it’s impossible to say

    I found that if you don't use both valves all the time one seems to stick .
    A bit of silicone or wd 40 on the valve may loosen it up

    The buzzer is part of the idiot light module. Its simply broken. Replace the whole module, and the buzzer will work. They go off the same sensor.
