Vehicular brake control device

摘要

A vehicular brake control device makes it possible to detect a failure or malfunction in closing an electromagnetic valve which is placed between a master cylinder and each of wheel cylinders. The vehicular brake control device includes a pressure application device which is capable of applying a hydraulic pressure automatically, i.e., regardless of a brake pedal depression, to each of wheel cylinders by way of a hydraulic pressure control device 17 from a master cylinder 20 and an ECU 18 which drives the pressure application unit 12 and the hydraulic pressure control device 17 to adjust a braking force of each of wheels. The hydraulic pressure control device 17 includes a set of pressure-maintaining and pressure-reducing valves for each wheel. The ECU 18 has a pressure application check division 77 which begins to check the pressure application at a predetermining timing.
