Abstract
A characteristic changing device is adopted in the inventive brake control system for the vehicle. The characteristic changing device sets a differential pressure between a first brake hydraulic pressure which is applied to wheel cylinders and a second brake hydraulic pressure which is generated by a master cylinder so that the first brake hydraulic pressure is higher than the second hydraulic pressure when the second brake hydraulic pressure is reduced. Due to the differential pressure set as described above, the first brake hydraulic pressure enough to exhibit effective braking force is kept even if the second brake hydraulic pressure is reduced.
