Abstract
A vehicular skid control system for relieving the brake pressure when an incipient skid condition is sensed. The system includes a combined check and bleed valve between the master cylinder and rear wheel brakes, a modulator assembly actuable by a ancillary source of fluid pressure, a fal safe bypass valve for communicating unmodulated master cylinder pressure directly to the rear brakes upon failure of the ancillary pressure source, and a regulator provided in the circuit connecting the source of ancillary fluid with the expansion chamber for maintaining at least a predetermind pressure in the circuit. Certain of the elements of the system may be automatically cycled each time the vehicle engine is started and stopped.
