A vehicle control device using brake hydraulic pressure includes a
hydraulic unit having a housing and an electronic control unit having a
casing. The housing of the hydraulic unit is mounted on a mounting
surface of the casing of the electronic control unit so that the casing
of the electronic control unit protrudes from the housing of the
hydraulic unit to one side. On the protruding area of the casing, a bulge
is formed in which a vehicle behavioral sensor is mounted. A control
connector is also provided on the protruding area of the casing. The
bulge does not protrude from the substantially square contour of the
vehicle control device. Thus, the bulge will scarcely increase the
installation space of the vehicle control device. A vehicle behavioral
sensor is mounted on a small substrate. By adjusting the angle and
position of the small substrate relative to a control substrate in the
casing, the position of the sensor can be adjusted relative to the travel
direction, lateral direction and vertical direction of the vehicle. With
the position of the sensor adjusted, the small substrate is fixed to the
bulge of the casing.
