The low pressure alarm should give an audible and visual warning at 60 psi or above. The order does not matter as long as you hit everything. When I did my test last week, I made a mistake. I said, "I missed a step so I must redo my test." I started the engine and had to wait for the air pressure to rebuild. Then I started over with my test. I got everything right. I lost no points. It did not matter I restarted doing them. It showed that I knew what I was doing.
