Abstract

A brake control device for a vehicle controls a vehicle wheel by supplying a hydraulic pressure generated by a hydraulic pressure generating device to a wheel brake cylinder of the vehicle wheel when a brake operating member is not being operated. When the brake operating member is operated while the hydraulic pressure has been supplied to the wheel brake cylinder for the vehicle wheel, a hydraulic pressure control valve device for the other vehicle wheel is controlled for supplying the hydraulic pressure to a wheel brake cylinder for the other vehicle wheel. Therefore, the hydraulic pressure is supplied to the wheel brake cylinder for the other vehicle wheel as well.
