Abstract

A vehicle has a parking brake system including spring-applied, pressure-released brakes. An electrohydraulic control system is provided for selectively energizing a solenoid-operated brake control valve so that release pressure is supplied to the brakes when the transmission control lever is not in neutral or when the vehicle tachometer is indicating a ground speed other than zero.
