CDL Air Brake test

When you fail air brakes you can’t move on

CDL Air Brake test

Today I took my air brake test. I failed when fanning down between 40-20. My trailer brake button popped out the tractor brake button popped out 1/2 way. I got through the build up phase and completed it. I told the examiner I was now going to secure my truck and get my chocks. I opened the door and he said do me a favor pull on your yellow button. It popped out completely then. He said he thought I would catch it during my 85-100 test. I know I failed because the truck wasn’t secure. If I had pulled the button out when I secured my truck would I have failed then?

Then my second question, if they don’t pop out at the same time, and I continue to fan down my brakes until the tractor button pops, aren’t I compounding the trailer brakes when I continue to fan down?
