A vehicle braking system such as an anti-lock brake system and/or a traction control utilizes a separate controlled channel of the brake system for controlling the application of pressure to the respective wheel brake circuit. The valve includes a first port connected to the controlled wheel brake(s), a second port connected to an outlet of a hydraulic pump and a third port connected to the inlet of the hydraulic pump. The valve is only moveable between a first position wherein the outlet of the pump is connected to the wheel brake to increase pressure to the wheel brake and a second position wherein the wheel brake is connected to the inlet of the pump to decrease pressure to the wheel brake. An electronic control is provided for operating the valve to control the application of pressure to the selected wheel brakes. The control cyclically moves the valve between the first and second positions during a predetermined time period to alternately increase and decrease pressure to the wheel brake. More specifically, the control generates a pulse-width-modulated signal to modulate the time periods during which the valve is maintained in either the first or second positions to control the effective pressure of the wheel brake to obtain a net increase, decrease, or constant pressure to the wheel brake during the predetermined time period.
