ABSTRACT:
An apparatus controls braking force during changes in drive position of an automatic transmission. The apparatus includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a controller and a brake device. The first sensor detects manual operation of the automatic transmission and outputs a first signal during the manual operation of the automatic transmission. The second sensor detects engine load and outputs a second signal. The controller receives the first and second signals, and outputs a controlling signal during the manual operation of the automatic transmission and a condition that the engine load is less than a predetermined value. The brake device receives the controlling signal and is actuated to generate braking force in accordance with receipt of the controlling signal. Accordingly, when the automatic transmission is manually operated and the engine load is less than the predetermined value, the vehicle is braked.
