A hydraulic-mechatronic system, for a vehicle that is connected to a target system, includes a housing with a fluid reservoir containing fluid, a communication port, a hydraulic pump, an electric motor for driving the hydraulic pump, at least one check valve, and a relief valve fluidly connected to the target system and the fluid reservoir. The relief valve moves between a first valve position, which is inactive and directs fluid to the communication port, and at least a second valve position, which is active and directs fluid from the communication port to the fluid reservoir. The hydraulic pump may rotate in forward and reverse directions. During operation of the hydraulic pump in the reverse direction, the relief valve is active such that the hydraulic-mechatronic system limits delivery of fluid through the communication port and instead directs fluid flow into the fluid reservoir of the housing.
