Abstract
A control method and system for a vehicle anti-lock brake system to provide for recovery from premature activation of the vehicle anti-lock brake system. The control method includes the steps of determining whether the anti-lock brake system has prematurely activated, and engaging a premature activation recovery control of the anti-lock brake system when the anti-lock brake system has prematurely activated. The control system includes a wheel speed sensor for measuring the speed of at least one vehicle wheel, and a control unit for determining whether the anti-lock brake system has prematurely activated. The control system also includes a signal generator for generating a signal operative to increase brake fluid pressure to a vehicle wheel brake when the anti-lock brake system has prematurely activated, and for generating a signal operative to terminate brake fluid pressure increase when the anti-lock brake system has recovered from premature activation.
