Abstract:
A second ECU determines whether or not there is an abnormality in a hydraulic-pressure sensor in a first cycle based on a detection value of the hydraulic-pressure sensor, and outputs a signal indicating a determination of an occurrence of the abnormality to a first ECU via a signal line when determining the occurrence of the abnormality in the hydraulic-pressure sensor. The first ECU receives the detection value of the hydraulic-pressure sensor through communication from the second ECU via the signal line to determine whether or not there is the abnormality in the hydraulic-pressure sensor in a second cycle that is shorter than the first cycle. When determining that the hydraulic-pressure sensor is abnormal, the first ECU controls driving of an electric actuator based on a braking command from an operation-amount detection sensor without using the detection value of the hydraulic-pressure sensor determined to be abnormal.
