ABSTRACT:
When a solenoid is operated so as to move an engaging pawl to a disengaged position, if a displacement detection device (an angular position sensor and a controller) detects that a motor rotor has not been displaced by an amount equal to or exceeding a predetermined level, that is, if the motor has not returned by an amount equal to or exceeding the predetermined level within a predetermined time period, a defect in an unlocked condition (an unlocking failure of a park braking lock mechanism) is determined. In this case, a driver is notified of the failure, so that prompt action can be taken to rectify the unlocking failure of the park braking lock mechanism.
