Abstract
A brake apparatus includes first, second and third solenoid valves (hereinafter SOL, SOLand SOL) respectively disposed in a first branch pipe, a second branch pipe, and a main pipe connecting a master cylinder and a brake caliper. The brake apparatus also includes first, second and third pressure sensors (hereinafter P, Pand P) respectively disposed between the master cylinder and the SOL, between the SOLand a fluid loss simulator, and between the SOLand the hydraulic pressure modulator. The brake apparatus further includes a control unit for detecting output values of P, Pand P. A resolution of Pis set at a value greater than resolutions of Pand P. With SOLin an opened state, when detected output value of Pis less than a predetermined value, the control unit stores output values from the respective pressure sensors as reference values.
