ABSTRACT:
A fault controller for a brake system includes a control display having a plurality of identifying labels displayed thereon corresponding to predetermined brake system fault mode options. A plurality of switches corresponding to the identifying labels and selectively setable to activate and deactivate conditions are on the control display. Fluid control valves are disposed along brake lines between the master cylinder and the wheel brakes. There are electrical connections between the switches and fluid control valves wherein setting one of the switches to the activate condition activates a corresponding fault mode of the brake system. An enable switch on the controller, if included, must be set to an "enable" condition for the fault controller to affect brake operation.
