Abstract
A brake system has wheel cylinders for producing a braking force in wheels using pressurized brake fluid transmitted through a main conduit from a master cylinder, a reservoir for storing brake fluid, a sideslip preventing device for when a sideslip state of the vehicle is detected supplying brake fluid to the wheel cylinder corresponding to a sideslip controlled wheel and producing a braking force in the sideslip controlled wheel, a first conduit used for supplying brake fluid from the reservoir to the wheel cylinders by the pump and a first valve for switching this first conduit between an open state and a closed state. The sideslip preventing device, when the sideslip state is detected during non-braking of the vehicle, makes the first valve open-state and thereby conducts supply of brake fluid through the first conduit from the reservoir to the wheel cylinder by a pump. When the sideslip state is detected during braking of the vehicle, the sideslip preventing device makes the first valve device closed-state and thereby prohibits supply of brake fluid from the reservoir to the wheel cylinder.
