Abstract: An electric brake comprises a brake mechanism that transmits a thrust generated by driving an electric motor to a piston that moves brake pads pressed against a disc rotor; a thrust sensor that detects the thrust applied to the piston; a rotation angle sensor that detects a rotational position of the electric motor; and a rear electric brake ECU that controls the driving of the electric motor on the basis of a braking command. The rear electric brake ECU detects an abnormality in the brake mechanism from a detected value of the thrust sensor and a detected value of the rotation angle sensor in response to the braking command which are obtained when the electric motor is driven.
