<p>An improved emergency system (10) for a vehicle having a closed center steering valve (12), a pump (14) normally supplying fluid to the valve, and an accumulator (16) for supplying emergency pressurized fluid to the valve when the pump fails. The improvement is a flow directing circuit (18) connecting the accumulator to the valve in parallel relationship to the pump and apparatus for blocking flow from the accumulator to the valve responsive to proper operation of the pump. Adequate emergency steering is provided to a closed center steering valve system by the above arrangement.</p> |
