Anti-lock braking system for a vehicle having a traction control module

摘要

A vehicle anti-lock braking system having a master cylinder operated upon operation of a brake operating member, a wheel cylinder activated by a pressure produced by the master cylinder, and an anti-lock control device which includes a slip ratio detector for detecting a slip ratio of a drive wheel of the vehicle, and a pressure regulating device for controlling a pressure in the wheel cylinder, so as to maintain the slip ratio in an optimum range. The system also has a traction control device including a traction control power source, and a communication switching device for selective communication of the pressure regulating device with the traction control power source or the master cylinder. The switching device maintains a discharge port of the pressure regulating device in communication with a reservoir while the traction control power source is in communication with the pressure regulating device, and disconnects the discharge port from the reservoir while the master cylinder is in communication with the pressure regulating device.
