If you are a fan of Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2), you may have encountered the "Low Air Pressure" error message. This message often appears when the air pressure in the truck's brakes decreases, causing the truck to not move normally. In this article, we will discuss solutions to overcome this error in an easy-to-understand way. Let's check out the following tutorial!
When I first experienced low air pressure, I thought my steering wheel was faulty or the game was buggy, but it turned out not to be. When the air pressure is low, the truck will be forced to stop for safety and cannot be driven until the air pressure returns to normal.
What is Low Air Pressure in ETS2?
Low Air Pressure is a condition where the air pressure in the truck's braking system is below normal levels. ETS2 simulates this aspect to provide a more realistic driving experience. When the air pressure is low, the truck's brakes will not work properly, and you will see warning lights and hear warning sounds.
Common Causes of Low Air Pressure Error
Before we get to the solutions, it is important to understand some common causes of the low air pressure error in ETS2:
- Driving Too Fast After Starting the Engine: Air pressure takes time to build up to optimal levels after the truck's engine is started. If you start driving immediately without waiting, you are likely to experience this error or problem.
- Brakes Used Too Frequently: Using the brakes too often in a short period can cause the air pressure to drop. Truck brakes require air pressure to work, and the more you use the brakes, the more the air pressure will decrease and even deplete.
- Leakage in the Brake System: Although this is rare in the game, there is a possibility of a leak in the truck's brake system (a real-world technical issue).
Emergency Steps to Fix Low Air Pressure in ETS2
Here are the steps if the truck has already displayed the "Low Air Pressure" error and cannot be driven at all.
The easiest way is to disable the Low Air Pressure simulation from the game settings page. If disabled, your truck will no longer have this problem. However, if you want to continue using this simulation, please follow the steps below:
- Stop or park in a safe position. In some cases, the truck will suddenly become undriveable and the wheels will seem locked. That's okay, please proceed to the next step.
- Make sure the truck's engine is still running. If the truck's engine is off, please restart it.
- Press the throttle periodically for 2 - 3 minutes until the air pressure indicator returns to normal and the truck can be driven again. Actually, leaving it in neutral (with the engine running) will also allow the air pressure to return to normal, but not as quickly as with throttle input. You don't need to press the throttle to the maximum, just 50% throttle occasionally.
Here are some easy steps to avoid the low air pressure error in ETS2:
-
Check the Air Pressure Indicator:
- Look at the air pressure indicator on the truck's dashboard. Make sure the needle on the indicator is in the green zone. If not, it means the air pressure is still low.
-
Don't Drive Immediately After Starting the Engine:
- After starting the engine, wait a moment for the air pressure to build up. Usually, it takes about 1-2 minutes.
- You can monitor this process by looking at the air pressure indicator or listening for the compressor sound to stop.
-
Use the Brakes Wisely:
- Avoid using the brakes excessively in a short time. Try to drive more carefully and use the engine brake or retarder if your truck has one.
-
Check and Repair Leaks:
- If you suspect a leak in the brake system, get it repaired at the nearest workshop. In ETS2, you can go to a workshop with a wrench icon on the map and select the repair option.
-
Check and Adjust Pneumatic System:
- Some modifications or custom maps can affect the performance of the pneumatic system. Make sure you use compatible mods and update them according to the game version.
Additional Tips
- Don't Overload the Truck: Excessive load can make the braking system work harder, causing the air pressure to drop quickly.
- Update the Game: Make sure you are using the latest version of ETS2 to get bug fixes and performance improvements.
- Use Mods Carefully: Incompatible mods can cause problems with the braking system and air pressure.
Q&A
Q: What should I do if the air pressure is still not sufficient after waiting a few minutes?
A: Try turning off the engine and restarting it, or check for any incompatible mods that might be causing the problem.
Q: Is there a quick way to increase the air pressure?
A: There is no instant way, as this is part of the realism simulation in ETS2. However, keeping the truck in good condition and using the brakes wisely can help.
Q: Why is the air pressure indicator still low even after following all the steps?
A: There may be a bug or an incompatible mod. Make sure the game and all mods are updated to the latest version.
Q: Does this error occur on all trucks in ETS2?
A: Yes, all trucks in ETS2 can experience this error as it is a simulation feature of the game.
That is the solution to overcome the low air pressure error in ETS2. Hopefully, this tutorial helps you enjoy the game without any obstacles! Always check the condition of your truck before starting the journey. Good luck!
