Abstract
Under a normal condition, brake fluid pressure generated by a slave cylinder () that operates according to operation of a brake pedal () is fed to a wheel cylinder () to perform braking, while under a fault condition of the slave cylinder (), brake fluid pressure generated by a master cylinder () for backup that operates by the operation of the brake pedal () is fed to the wheel cylinder () to perform braking. In the latter case, brake fluid fed by a pump () is fed to the wheel cylinder (), before the brake fluid is fed from the master cylinder () to the wheel cylinder () by a driver depressing the brake pedal (). Accordingly, without leading to an increase in the stroke of the brake pedal (), a required amount of brake fluid can be fed to the wheel cylinder () to thus ensure a sufficient braking force.
