Abstract
A braking system includes an emulator cylinder, an emulator actuator piston within the emulator cylinder, an emulator actuator chamber within the emulator cylinder defined in part by the emulator actuator piston, a pedal feel simulator including an input port in fluid communication with the emulator actuator chamber and an output port, a selector piston movable within the emulator cylinder between a first position and a second position, and a poppet valve operably connected to the emulator actuator piston, the poppet valve movable by the emulator actuator piston between a deactivated position and an actuated position and configured such that (i) when the selector piston is in the first position and the poppet valve is in the actuated position, the poppet valve is closed and the emulator actuator chamber is not in fluid communication with the reservoir through the poppet valve, and (ii) when the selector piston is in the second position and the poppet valve is in the actuated position, the poppet valve is open and the emulator actuator chamber is in fluid communication with the reservoir through the poppet valve.
