A brake control system for a vehicle, the brake control system including a master cylinder, a brake line for communicating brake fluid between the master cylinder and a brake, a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the brake line during non-braking conditions, and means for selectively moving brake fluid into and/or out of the fluid reservoir. The means for selectively moving brake fluid into and/or out of the fluid reservoir includes means for removing gas from the fluid reservoir, and is configured to move brake fluid into the fluid reservoir, so that brake fluid is moved along the brake line in a direction towards the master cylinder, during non-braking conditions. Upon receiving a signal of an anticipated brake event, brake fluid may also be moved out of the fluid reservoir, so that brake fluid is moved along the brake line in a direction away from the master cylinder.
