    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for building pressure within a secondary braking system (SBS) of a vehicle having a plurality of brakes. The system may comprise a reservoir and a primary braking system (PBS) including a master cylinder including a primary circuit portion, a plurality of valve subsystems, a primary path connecting the master cylinder to the plurality of valve subsystems, and at least one valve disposed along the primary path between the master cylinder and the plurality of valve subsystems. The PBS also includes a secondary path connecting the reservoir to at least one valve subsystem of the plurality of valve subsystems, and no valves are disposed within the secondary path. The SBS is connected to the at least one valve subsystem.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for validating operation of a secondary braking system (SBS) of a vehicle having a plurality of brakes, by controlling the SBS and a primary braking system (PBS) of the vehicle. The method may involve using the PBS to generate a first predetermined target braking pressure in the PBS for at least a first one of the brakes, while using the SBS to generate a second predetermined target braking pressure in the SBS for at least a second one of the brakes. Actual and anticipated performance characteristics of a braking component associated with the vehicle are then observed and compared, and from the comparison a determination is made whether the SBS is operating properly.

    Abstract: A method and a system are disclosed for validating operation of a secondary braking system (SBS) of a vehicle having a plurality of brakes. The method may involve generating a predetermined braking pressure for at least one brake of the plurality of brakes and calculating, via an electronic control unit (ECU), an estimate of a pump output pressure based upon a counter electromagnetic force generated by a motor within the SBS. The method may further involve comparing an expected pump output pressure to the estimate, wherein the expected pump output pressure corresponds to the predetermined braking pressure and determining whether the SBS is operating properly based upon the comparison.
