ABSTRACT:
A pressure difference is formed between a master cylinder pressure and a wheel cylinder pressure when a master cut-off valve closes a hydraulic path connecting a master cylinder and a wheel cylinder and a hydraulic pump supplies pressurized brake fluid to the wheel cylinder. After the pressure difference has been formed, the master cut-off valve opens the hydraulic path so that the pressure difference is cancelled. As a result, pulsations in brake fluid pressure occurs in the hydraulic path. A failure of the master cut-off valve or the hydraulic pump is detected based on the pulsations in brake fluid pressure.
