System and method for testing vehicle brake and steering systems

An article of manufacture, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer storage medium having a computer program encoded thereon that when executed by a controller tests a braking system and a steering system of a vehicle, the computer program including code for
• transmitting a first control signal to a first electropneumatic module of a plurality of electropneumatic modules on the vehicle, each electropneumatic module associated with a corresponding brake for a corresponding wheel of the vehicle and including a first solenoid configured to control fluid communication between a brake actuator of the corresponding brake and one of a fluid source and atmosphere, the first electropneumatic module associated with a first brake for a first wheel on a first side of the vehicle, the first control signal configured to actuate the first solenoid of the first electropneumatic module;
• and,
• transmitting a second control signal to a steering actuator configured to cause rotation of a steering wheel of the vehicle
• wherein the second control signal is configured to cause rotation of the steering wheel during actuation of the first solenoid of the first electropneumatic module in a first rotational direction towards the first side of the vehicle.
