Electric pump control system

An electric pump control system, comprising:

• an electric pump for pumping a fluid;
• an accumulator connected to said electric pump;
• a first pressure detecting means for detecting a pressure in said accumulator;
• a second pressure detecting means for detecting a pressure in said accumulator;
• a first drive circuit for directly driving and stopping said electric pump based on an output signal from said first pressure detecting means;
• and
• a second drive circuit for driving and stopping said electric pump based on an output signal from said second pressure detecting means and an output signal from a control means which has a trouble detecting function;
• wherein a timing of starting and stopping driving of said electric pump by said second drive circuit is different from a timing of starting and stopping driving of said electric pump by said first drive circuit, thereby providing, during one driving operation of the electric pump from starting driving to stopping driving, which is between a time when said electric pump is started to be driven to a time when said electric pump is first stopped, a time period during which said electric pump is being driven only by said first drive circuit and a time period during which said electric pump is being driven only by said second drive circuit.
