3.4.11.1 Power-hydraulic type. Class 16 vehicles shall be equipped with power assisted,
hydraulically actuated, four-wheel service brakes or with full air brakes on all wheels.
3.4.11.1.1 Split hydraulic brake system. The power-hydraulic brake system shall be so
arranged as to provide separate systems for at least two wheels and so designed and constructed
that rupture or leakage type failure of any single pressure component of the service brake system,
except structural failures of the brake master cylinder body, effectiveness indicator body, or
other housing common to the divided system, will not result in complete loss of function of the
vehicle brakes when force on the brake pedal is continued. "Pressure component" means any
internal component of the brake master cylinder or master control unit, wheel brake cylinder,
brake line, brake hose, or equivalent, except power assist components.
3.4.11.1.2 Indicator light. The split hydraulic brake system shall be equipped with an
electrically operated red light mounted on the instrument panel to indicate system effectiveness.
The light shall have an area of not less than 0.196 square inch. It shall illuminate before or upon
application of the brakes when an actuating-pressure component of the system has sustained a
loss of pressure. The indicator light system shall include a means for testing by the vehicle
operator to assure that the light bulb is operable.
