Abstract: A vehicle brake system includes a switching valve switchable between a first state allowing communication between a first fluid pressure generating device and a frictional brake and a second state allowing communication between a second fluid pressure generating device and the frictional brake. The second fluid pressure generating device generates a fluid pressure by moving a piston with an electric actuator, and has a fluid pressure supply port connected to the switching valve and an atmosphere opening port connected to a reservoir tank. When, due to a failure, the switching valve becomes a third state in which the switching valve makes each of the first fluid pressure generating device and the second fluid pressure generating device communicate with the frictional brake, a control device controls the second fluid pressure generating device to close the atmosphere opening port with the piston.

Abstract: A vehicle brake system includes a first fluid pressure generating device for generating a fluid pressure according to a brake operating amount, a second fluid pressure generating device for generating a fluid pressure by moving a piston with an electric actuator, and a switching valve switchable between a first state allowing communication between the first fluid pressure generating device and a vehicle behavior stabilizing device and a second state allowing communication between the second fluid pressure generating device and the vehicle behavior stabilizing device. A control device places the switching valve in the second state during execution of automatic brake control, and places the switching valve in the first state when a predetermined abnormality occurs in the vehicle, except that the control device places the switching valve in the second state when an abnormality including inability of the second fluid pressure generating device to generate the fluid pressure occurs.

Abstract: The gear position measuring device includes a switch, an output unit, a processor, and a storage. The switch includes multiple individual contacts respectively corresponding to the multiple gear positions. The multiple individual contacts are separated into multiple gear position groups that include at least two of the multiple individual contacts. The output unit includes circuits so that the individual contacts for the gear positions of each of the multiple gear position groups are connected to the same circuit, thereby being able to output from the circuits that are different for each of the multiple gear position groups. When an output value from the output unit is changed, the processor determines a current gear position on the basis of the gear position stored in the storage and the multiple gear positions corresponding to the output value from the output unit.
