Abstract

When braking occurs but the ABS is not in operation, the brakes at the rear wheels are isolated from the master cylinder by a solenoid valve. Brake pressure at the rear wheels is then provided by a pump and regulated so that the slower rear wheel runs slower than the faster front wheel by a given small speed difference.
