Vehicle brake system

Abstract

A brake system includes first and second wheel brakes, a reservoir, and a brake pedal unit having a housing and a pair of output pistons slidably disposed in the housing. The output pistons generate brake actuating pressure during a manual push-through mode for actuating the first and second wheel brakes. The system further includes a plunger assembly having a housing having a motor driving an actuator, and a piston connected to the actuator. The piston pressurizes a chamber when the piston is moving in a first direction to provide fluid flow out of a first port and through a pair of parallel valves. The piston pressurizes a second chamber when the piston is moving in a second direction opposite the first direction to provide fluid flow out of a second port. The first and second ports are selectively in fluid communication with the wheel brakes.
