Abstract
A test circuit periodically emits a test control signal as long as the vehicle speed exceeds a preselected value and there is no antiskid brake control action. The test signal causes a frequency control circuit to decrease the frequency of a sensor signal that indicates the rotating velocity of a wheel of the vehicle, thereby simulating a wheel deceleration sufficient to obtain wheel behavior signals from the antiskid brake control system. A logic sensing circuit then reacts to these wheel behavior signals to suppress production of an error signal, which otherwise occurs after a predetermined delay period to indicate a defect in the antiskid brake control system.
