Abstract
A braking system for a vehicle having primary and secondary braking circuits includes a secondary braking circuit having a secondary source of braking pressure connectable to a braking actuator and including a three-port, two-position, inlet solenoid valve having two inlet ports and one outlet port. One of the inlet ports is connected to an outlet of an inlet solenoid valve of the primary braking circuit and to the inlet of an exhaust solenoid valve of the primary braking circuit. The other inlet is connected to a secondary source of braking pressure. The outlet port is connected to the braking actuator. The inlet solenoid valve is movable by an output signal from an electronic control unit.
