A memory for an electronic brake control system is divided into portions that are classified as critical and non-critical. Each portion is periodically tested for faults. Upon detection of a fault, the memory is reconfigured with any operations of the brake system associated with a critical memory portion permanently disabled and any operations of the brake system associated with a non-critical memory portion temporarily disabled.

Microprocessor memory management

Under certain operating conditions, the pressure applied to a vehicle rear brake circuit is increased above the pressure applied to the vehicle front brake circuit to enhance stopping of the vehicle.

Pressure boost for vehicle rear brake circuits

The speed of an ABS pump motor is increased during an ABS braking cycle upon determining that an extended ABS braking cycle duration is required.
