Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An improved electro-hydraulic brake system having an electrically powered normal source of pressurized hydraulic brake fluid, and a manually powered backup source of pressurized hydraulic brake fluid to all four of the vehicle brakes in the event of failure of the normal source. During normal braking, fluid from the backup source is redirected from the vehicle brakes to a pedal simulator. The brake system of the invention further diverse arrangements for providing braking in the event of a failure of the normal source of pressurized fluid. The brake circuit for the front wheels are provided with relatively low cost fluid separator units, while the rear brake circuit is not.
