On the other hand, after driving the pressurizing pump 31, the brake ECU 100 closes both the pressure-increasing linear control valve 65A and the adjustment flow cut valve 66 if the magnitude of the acquired control pressure Px is equal to or less than the predetermined value Px0. It is determined that no valve operation abnormality has occurred.
- the brake ECU 100 compares the magnitude of the control pressure Px acquired from the control pressure sensor 103 with the predetermined value Px0 after driving the pressurizing pump 31. By doing so, it is possible to determine whether or not a valve closing operation abnormality has occurred in the pressure-increasing linear control valve 65A or the adjustment flow rate cut valve 66. However, the brake ECU 100 cannot yet specify which of the pressure-increasing linear control valve 65A and the adjustment flow cut valve 66 has a valve closing operation abnormality only by this determination.
- the brake ECU 100 energizes the solenoids of the pressure-increasing linear control valve 65A and the adjustment flow cut-off valve 66 in order, and increases the pressure based on the change in the control pressure Px when the valve-closing state is changed to the valve-opening state.

If it is the same as the magnitude of the predicted gradient (shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 5) obtained at this time, the brake ECU 100 determines that a valve closing operation abnormality has occurred in the pressure-increasing linear control valve 65A. On the other hand, as shown in FIG.

Energize the solenoid to fully open. At this time, the brake ECU 100 does not energize the solenoid in order to maintain the pressure-increasing linear control valve 65A in the closed state.
- the magnitude of the time change gradient of the control pressure Px acquired from the control pressure sensor 103 is set in advance and the adjustment flow cut valve 66 is fully opened. If it is the same as the magnitude of the expected gradient (shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 7), the brake ECU 100 determines that the valve closing operation abnormality has occurred in the adjusted flow cut valve 66. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, after the adjustment flow cut valve 66 is fully opened, the magnitude of the time change gradient of the control pressure Px acquired from the control pressure sensor 103 is the predicted gradient (indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 8).
- the brake ECU 100 determines that a valve closing operation abnormality has occurred in the pressure-increasing linear control valve 65A.
- valve closing operation abnormality that occurs in the pressure-increasing linear control valve 65A or the adjustment flow cut valve 66 may occur, for example, by biting a foreign substance contained in the hydraulic fluid. Is expensive.

After that, it can be returned to the reservoir 23.
- the reservoir 23 is provided with a filter that removes foreign substances in the working fluid.
- the brake ECU 100 performs flushing as described above, and then closes the pressure-increasing linear control valve 65A and the adjustment flow rate cut valve 66 again to drive the pressure pump 31. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 10, if the control pressure Px acquired from the control pressure sensor 103 does not increase as the accumulator pressure Pacc increases as the pressure pump 31 is driven, the brake ECU 100 performs the valve closing operation. It is determined that the pressure-increasing linear control valve 65A or the adjusted flow cut valve 66 in which the abnormality has occurred has recovered to a normal state. Therefore, in a state where the pressure-increasing linear control valve 65A and the adjustment flow rate cut valve 66 are restored to the normal state, the brake ECU 100 executes the brake control in the above-described linear control mode.
- the brake ECU 100 is closed when the control pressure Px acquired from the control pressure sensor 103 increases with time after performing the flushing as described above. It is determined that the pressure-increasing linear control valve 65A or the adjustment flow rate cut valve 66 in which the valve operation abnormality has occurred has not yet recovered to the normal state. Then, the brake ECU 100 determines whether or not the magnitude of the time change gradient of the control pressure Px is larger than the preset leak determination gradient (indicated by a long broken line in FIG. 11).

- the brake ECU 100 when the time change gradient of the control pressure Px is larger than the magnitude of the leakage determination gradient, the brake ECU 100 increases the pressure increasing linear control valve 65A in which the valve closing operation abnormality has occurred. Alternatively, there is much (large) leakage of the hydraulic fluid through the adjustment flow cut valve 66, so that the pressure cannot be properly adjusted by the pressure reduction by the pressure reduction linear control valve 65B.

Abstract
Description
A-1.閉弁動作異常の発生有無の判定
上述したように、リニア制御モード(4Sモード)によってブレーキ制御を実行している状況においては、ブレーキECU100は、増圧リニア制御弁65Aを通電制御によって弁開度を制御するとともに、例えば、ドライバによるブレーキペダル10へのブレーキ操作量が大きいときには調整流量カット弁66を開弁状態に維持し、各ホイールシリンダ42への作動液の供給流量(容量)を確保して制御圧Pxを目標液圧に追従させる。一方、ドライバによるブレーキ操作が解除されると、ブレーキECU100は、アキュムレータ32から主流路52に作動液が流通しないように、増圧リニア制御弁65A及び調整流量カット弁66のソレノイドへの通電を遮断することによって開弁状態から閉弁状態に変更して維持する。
上述したように、ブレーキECU100は、加圧ポンプ31を駆動させた後、制御圧センサ103から取得した制御圧Pxの大きさと所定値Px0とを比較することにより、増圧リニア制御弁65A又は調整流量カット弁66に閉弁動作異常が発生しているか否かを判定することができる。しかし、ブレーキECU100は、この判定のみによっては、未だ、増圧リニア制御弁65A及び調整流量カット弁66の何れに閉弁動作異常が発生しているかを特定することはできない。そこで、ブレーキECU100は、増圧リニア制御弁65A及び調整流量カット弁66のそれぞれのソレノイドに順に通電し、閉弁状態から開弁状態に変更させたときの制御圧Pxの変化に基づき、増圧リニア制御弁65A及び調整流量カット弁66の何れに閉弁動作異常が発生しているかを特定する。以下、この特定を説明する。
増圧リニア制御弁65A又は調整流量カット弁66に発生する閉弁動作異常は、例えば、作動液中に含まれてしまう異物を噛み込むことによって発生する可能性が高い。このため、ブレーキECU100は、上述したように閉弁動作異常が発生したと判定した場合には、増圧リニア制御弁65A及び調整流量カット弁66を全開とした状態で動力液圧発生装置30の加圧ポンプ31を駆動させて高圧の作動液を供給し、所謂、フラッシングを実行することによって噛み込んだ異物を洗い流す。
B-1.開弁動作異常の発生有無の判定
上述したように、ドライバによってブレーキ操作がなされて制動要求が発生すると、リニア制御モード(4Sモード)によってブレーキ制御を実行する状況においては、ブレーキECU100は、増圧リニア制御弁65Aを通電制御によって弁の開度を制御するとともに、例えば、ドライバによるブレーキペダル10へのブレーキ操作量が大きいときには調整流量カット弁66を開弁状態に維持し、各ホイールシリンダ42への作動液を供給流量(容量)を確保して制御圧Pxを目標液圧に追従させる。
上述したように、ブレーキECU100は、増圧リニア制御弁65A及び調整流量カット弁66を開弁状態とした後、制御圧センサ103から取得した制御圧Pxの時間変化勾配の大きさと目標液圧勾配とを比較することにより、増圧リニア制御弁65A又は調整流量カット弁66に開弁動作異常が発生しているか否かを判定することができる。しかし、ブレーキECU100は、この判定のみによっては、未だ、増圧リニア制御弁65A及び調整流量カット弁66の何れに開弁動作異常が発生しているかを特定することはできない。そこで、ブレーキECU100は、増圧リニア制御弁65A及び調整流量カット弁66のそれぞれのソレノイドへの通電を順に遮断し、開弁状態から閉弁状態に変更させたときの制御圧Pxの変化、より詳しくは、制御圧Pxの増加傾向の変化に基づき、増圧リニア制御弁65A及び調整流量カット弁66の何れに開弁動作異常が発生しているかを特定する。以下、この特定を説明する。
増圧リニア制御弁65A又は調整流量カット弁66に開弁動作異常が発生した場合であっても、ドライバがブレーキ操作によって要求する制動力、言い換えれば、ブレーキ操作に応じた制御圧Pxの時間変化勾配(以下、この時間変化勾配を「昇圧勾配」と称呼する。)を発生させることが肝要である。このため、ブレーキECU100は、調整流量カット弁66に開弁動作異常が発生した場合であって昇圧勾配が予め設定された目標勾配よりも小さい状況(通常時)と昇圧勾配が目標勾配よりも大きい状況(緊急時)とに対応するブレーキ制御を実行し、増圧リニア制御弁65Aに開弁動作異常が発生した場合であって昇圧勾配が目標勾配よりも小さい状況(通常時)と昇圧勾配が目標勾配よりも大きい状況(緊急時)とに対応するブレーキ制御を実行する。以下、これらの対応を順に説明する。
