A lean detector for a vehicle is capable of reducing the cost of the parts of a lean sensor and enhancing the waterproof property thereof. The lean detector also detects when the leaning of the vehicle body has reached a prescribed angle in the right, left, front or rear direction. The lean sensor is installed at a position above a bottom end of a baseplate of the seat of a saddle-ride type four-wheeled vehicle.

A control unit incorporating a pressure sensor has a case body with an upper opening, incorporating a printed circuit board on which a pressure sensor and a plurality of control circuit components are mounted, and a lid to close the case body. A connector box extending outward is attached to one sidewall of the case body. The pressure sensor is disposed in the vicinity of the connector box. A first pressure passage is integrally formed with the lid, being opposed to the pressure sensor. A second pressure passage communicating with the first pressure passage is integrally formed with the lid, extending in the same direction as the connector box.
