don't know what vehicle or hydraulic systems you are asking about
but on our Safari DP
the steering and brakes are powered from a 12v motorized pump
and the relay (or something) for the pump will buzz, when the brake pedal is pressed IF the engine & thus the alternator, is not running
they work but the buzzing alerts you to the fact the engine is not running
this way there is power steering and power braking even if the engine fails
