Driver safety device
How many times can you reset a defect?
2
How do you stable for fault rectification?
Get permission

What do the electrical systems do if a fault is detected?
Self isolate
Single point failure CBs (BETC)
Brake control supply
Emergency brake loop power supply
Traction control
Cab activation
What is the likely cause if traction and aux power supply systems fail at the same time?
