  • Motor system for triggering brake and steering control during engine failure
    Patent number: 8608254
    Abstract: An electric motor system that triggers brake and steering function upon engine failure featuring an electric motor; and a vacuum pump, an oil pump, and a sensor each operatively connected to the electric motor. The vacuum pump is connected to the vehicle's brake servo and the oil pump is connected to an oil reservoir and to the vehicle's steering sector. The sensor is adapted to detect when the engine is turned off. When the engine is turned off the sensor is activated and causes activation of the electric motor. Activation of the electric motor causes activation of the vacuum pump and the oil pump. The vacuum pump functions to provide a vacuum in the servo brake of the vehicle and the oil pump functions to create oil pressure with oil in the oil reservoir and direct oil pressure to the steering sector.
