Abstract: When driving of a motor is on and W/C pressure of a low-pressure-side wheel is increased, the driving of the motor is continued until the actual W/C pressure of a high-pressure-side wheel in the same system reaches a predetermined range relative to a target pressure. Specifically, if the target pressure of the low-pressure-side wheel is greater than a predetermined value, the braking hydraulic pressure of the low-pressure-side wheel is increased, the motor is driven, and to account for a resulting decrease in the W/C pressure of the high-pressure-side wheel, the driving of the motor is continued until the W/C pressure of the high-pressure-side wheel is restored. Temperature increases in the motor can thereby be prevented and durability can be improved by shortening the drive time of the motor as much as possible.
