				  range and engine RPM increased to double idle RPM, or the brake failure warning
				  light does not go out when the parking brake is released. Some vehicles with
				  electric parking brakes (EPB) can be checked in a similar manner, but if a

				  the brakes can be checked by activating them when the vehicle is moving about 2
				  or 3 mph.
(6) Required brake
				  hardware is incomplete or not properly installed;
(7) Brake hose or line is mounted in a manner
				  that will cause premature wear or failure;
