1 A leak in the air brake system will generally cause the springs to put on the brakes. 2  Tractor and straight truck spring brakes will come fully on when air pressure drops to a range of 20 to 45 psi or 140 to 310 kPa (typically 20 to 30 psi or 140 to 210 kPa). 3  Do not wait for the brakes to come on automatically.
