VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM

DRIVE October 5, 2023
Source
A vehicle braking system includes a master cylinder having a pedal feel simulator incorporated therein, a reservoir configured to retain a volume of unpressurized brake fluid for use in the vehicle braking system, a wheel cylinder coupled to the master cylinder via a first braking circuit, an electronically-controlled pressure generating unit configured to move fluid through the first braking circuit to the wheel cylinder in a first mode of operation, and a two-way valve positioned in the first braking circuit and configured to selectively decouple the master cylinder from the wheel cylinder. In the first mode of operation, the master cylinder is decoupled from the wheel cylinder via the two-way valve and the master cylinder is coupled to the reservoir via the two-way valve. In a second mode of operation, the master cylinder is coupled to the wheel cylinder via the two-way valve.
