Proper control is performed even during a stuck abnormality of a current sensor 56 configured to detect a reactor current. A boosting converter 12 is controlled by feedback control of a boosted voltage of the boosting converter 12 and a reactor current, detected by the current sensor 56, of a reactor 54 in the boosting converter 12. When a variation of the reactor current is less than a predetermined current value, failure determination of the current sensor is performed and, if a variation of the pre-boosting voltage exceeds a predetermined voltage value, failure of the current sensor is determined.
