Electric braking apparatus and vehicle provided therewith

摘要

An electric braking apparatus (101) which first moves a piston in a detaching direction or passes a current to move the piston in the detaching direction in order to detect a pad contacting position. Furthermore, while the piston moves in the detaching direction, pad non-contact judgment is performed. After a pad non-contact state is confirmed, the piston is moved in a pressing direction to detect the pad contacting position. When the piston does not move in the detaching direction it is judged that a parking brake has an ON-state, and it is waited until a host system instructs parking brake release.
