To check that both brakes are operating?
Without a current reading, I would always check the brake drum temperatures by hand immediately after stopping. If both were warm, then both were working. It was when one drum was cool that I discovered the broken brake line. I believe Bill has also experienced a broken brake line.
A continuous current readout in the cab would be better as that would tell you instantaneously that something was wrong as you were traveling.
AFAIK the P3 will not give you a continuous current reading while on the road. It is only in diagnostic mode that you can check the current as you press the brakes. But I could be wrong. And even so it's easier to do your current check before every trip, than make a stop and check the brake drum temperatures.
