What is the required idling speed to build air pressure after restarting the engine?

The required idling speed to build air pressure after restarting the engine is between 1000 and 1200 RPM. This range is optimal because it ensures that the engine runs efficiently enough to generate the necessary air pressure quickly without excessive strain on the engine itself.

At this RPM, the engine's alternator operates effectively to charge the battery and power other electrical systems while the air compressor is engaged. Maintaining this idling speed helps achieve the recommended air pressure levels required for safe operation of the vehicle's braking system. Other ranges, such as 800-900 RPM or 1200-1400 RPM, may not provide sufficient air pressure buildup or could be unnecessarily high, potentially leading to engine wear or increased fuel consumption.
