§ 1063. Load-Controlled Air Pressure Reducing System.
(1) When the single or tandem-axle load on the roadway is 85 percent or more of the maximum legal load or rated gross weight of the axle, whichever is lower, the device or system shall not reduce the full service brake air pressure at the brake chambers to less than that required by Vehicle Code Section 26502 unless the vehicle meets the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 (49 CFR 571.121) in effect at time of manufacture.
(2) The system shall incorporate a feature to override the automatic control, at the driver's discretion, to allow at least 90 percent of the air supply pressure at the foot valve to be applied to the brake actuators upon full brake application, except on axles designed to carry not more than 50 percent of the maximum legal load or gross weight rating of the axle and used in tandem with a maximum legal load carrying axle on the same vehicle.
