First Claim
1. A vehicle-behavior control system for a vehicle, including actuators capable of changing the vehicle behavior, wheel speed sensors for individually detecting a plurality of wheel speeds, respectively, a controller which determines whether the control of the vehicle behavior is carried out, based on the wheel speeds detected by said wheel speed sensors, respectively, and which controls the operations of said actuators based on the result of the determination, a wheel speed sensor failure detecting means for detecting a failure of the wheel speed sensors based on mutual comparison of the wheel speeds detected by said wheel speed sensors, respectively, and a fail-safe means for performing a predetermined fail-safe operation based on a detection of failure of the wheel speed sensors by said wheel speed sensor failure detecting means, said vehicle-behavior control system comprising:
- a parking brake operation detecting means for detecting an operational state of a parking brake;
a during-traveling signal generating means for outputting a during-traveling signal by detecting that the vehicle is in a traveling state;
a fail-safe operation prohibiting signal outputting means for outputting a fail-safe operation prohibiting signal only for a predetermined time from establishment of a state in which operation of the parking brake is detected by said parking brake operation detecting means and the during-traveling signal is output from said during-traveling signal generating means; and
a fail-safe operation prohibiting means for prohibiting the fail-safe operation of said fail-safe means when said fail-safe operation prohibiting signal outputting means outputs the fail-safe operation prohibiting signal.

Abstract
In a vehicle behavior control system, a failure of a wheel speed sensor is detected by a wheel speed sensor failure detecting device based on the mutual comparison of wheel speeds detected by wheel speed sensors, respectively. When the failure of the wheel speed sensor is detected, a preselected fail-safe operation is carried out by a fail-safe device. A fail-safe operation prohibiting signal is output only for a predetermined time from the establishment of a state in which the operation of a parking brake is detected by a parking brake operation detecting device and a during-traveling signal is output from a during-traveling signal generated device. When the fail-safe operation prohibiting signal is output, the fail-safe operation by the fail-safe device is prohibited by a fail-safe operation prohibiting device.
