Abstract
A control system for a brake vacuum pump, the system being capable of accumulating a negative pressure required for a vacuum chamber, without excessively operating the vacuum pump. In this system, an EGI_ECU determines whether a vehicle has experienced running at a speed equal to or higher than a preset creep vehicle speed after the startup of an engine. The EGI_ECU prohibits the operation of the vacuum pump until the time when the vehicle experiences running at a speed equal to or higher than the creep vehicle speed. Thereby, in a situation obviously not requiring a strong braking force, such as in a stopped state immediately after the startup of the engine, the operation of the vacuum pump can be prohibited, which allows the vacuum pump to be accurately prevented from an unnecessary drive.
