If the law enforcement officer fails to give the required warnings, the failure of the person to submit to a chemical test is not admissible.
If a failure to submit to a chemical test is not admitted into evidence, the court may inform the jury that no test result is available.
If a test result is not available for a reason other than failing to submit to a chemical test, the unavailability and the reason are admissible in evidence.
