Abstract
Abstract A fault detecting system for detecting faults in an anti-skid control system for vehicles which system prevents the loss of steering capacity, the abnormal spinning of the vehicle body and the like due to the locking of the wheel which occurs when an excessively large braking pressure is applied rapidly to a vehicle such as an automobile.
