Abstract
An anti-lock braking system which incorporates a pressure modulator disposed between a master cylinder and one or more wheel cylinders of the vehicle. The pressure modulator includes an electrically operated pump for pumping fluid from the rear cylinders back to the master cylinder and a pressure responsive isolating valve for isolating the wheel cylinders from the master cylinder in response to operation of the pump. The system is particularly well suited for application to the rear wheels of the vehicle.
