Zusammenfassung:A brake system for selectively actuating at least one wheel brake includes a reservoir and a power transmission unit for selectively providing pressurized hydraulic fluid for actuating at least a selected one of the wheel brakes during a braking event. A first electronic control unit at least partially controls at least one of the power transmission unit and a selected one of the pair of rear brake motors. A second electronic control unit at least partially controls at least one of the power transmission unit and an other one of the pair of rear brake motors. The first electronic control unit controls at least one SAP valve, an isolation valve, and a dump valve for a selected two of the wheel brakes, and the second electronic control unit controls at least one SAP valve, an isolation valve, and a dump valve for an other two of the wheel brakes.
