A vehicle turn control apparatus has an electronic control unit which controls the operation of hydraulic pressure control valves for adjusting a fluid pressure generated by a pump during the turn control which is carried out in accordance with a required control variable for yaw moment control calculated based on either or both of the operating state and behavior of a vehicle. Adjusted fluid pressures are supplied to the wheel brakes concerned, so that a braking force difference is produced between these wheels to control a yawing motion of the vehicle. When the brake pedal is operated during the turn control, the electronic control unit stops the operation of the pump unless the fluid pressure for turn control is so adjusted as to be increased, to thereby decrease the fluid pressure to suppress the brake pedal push-back action of the fluid pressure.
A vehicle turn control apparatus including a hydraulic circuit through which a master cylinder connected to a brake pedal is connected with wheel brakes provided individually to wheels of a vehicle, one pump adapted to generate and supply a hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic circuit when actuated, and a hydraulic pressure control valve unit arranged in the hydraulic circuit so as to be located between the pump and the wheel brakes and adapted to adjust the hydraulic pressure generated by the pump, said control apparatus supplying the hydraulic pressure, generated by the pump and adjusted by means of the hydraulic pressure control valve unit, to at least one required wheel brake while a turn control request is being delivered, comprising:
