Which of the following is a reason for the Maintenance Fault light to activate?

The Maintenance Fault light is commonly activated due to issues related to the HVAC system. This system is critical for maintaining a comfortable environment within the vehicle, and when there are faults detected—such as failure to maintain temperature or air quality—the system will trigger the Maintenance Fault light. This serves as an alert to the crew that there is a potential problem with the HVAC system that needs attention to ensure passenger comfort and safety.

On the other hand, while unusual train speeds, cab lighting problems, and track misalignment can signify potential issues that could affect operational safety or efficiency, they typically do not directly relate to the specific systems monitored for maintenance faults that would trigger the Maintenance Fault light. In contrast, the HVAC system is integral to some of the automatic monitoring features that actively watch for failures, ensuring that any detected faults prompt immediate attention.
