Abstract: An electrically actuated relay valve or adaptive braking modulator for a vehicle fluid pressure braking system includes a housing having a fluid pressure inlet, a pair of vents communicating with the ambient atmosphere, and a brake application effecting mechanism. The inlet communicates with a chamber defined within the modulator, amd this chamber is in turn communicated to the brake application effecting mechanism. An electrically actuated valve controls communication from the inlet into the chamber, and is shiftable from a first condition permitting substantially uninhibited communication from the inlet to the chamber to a second condition communicating the chamber to one of the vents when an incipient skidding condition is detected. A pressure differential responsive valve element controls communication between the chamber, the brake application effecting mechanism, and the other vent.
