Systems and methods for reducing energy consumption within a braking system are provided. In one example, a method includes detecting an energy reduction condition associated with the braking system of the vehicle; energizing a primary circuit apply valve and a secondary circuit apply valve of the braking system in response to detecting the energy reduction condition; de-energizing a motor of a slave cylinder of the braking system in response to energizing the primary circuit apply valve and the secondary circuit apply valve; and de-energizing the primary circuit apply valve and the secondary circuit apply valve of the braking system in response to de-energizing the motor of the slave cylinder.
