A hybrid control module (81) is provided in this FF hybrid vehicle. The hybrid control module (81) is configured to perform a control so that during vehicle stop, the lower an ATF oil temperature is, the more the pump driving energy to drive the main oil pump (14) is decreased. With this control, consumption energy during the vehicle stop can be reduced. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An oil pump driving control device of a vehicle having an oil pump that is driven by a vehicle-mounted power source and is structured to provide a pump discharge oil to a hydraulic pressure working unit provided on a driving force transmission line, the oil pump driving control device comprising: a controller configured to control a pump drive of the oil pump, the controller being configured to perform a control such that during a vehicle stop, after decreasing a pressure of the hydraulic pressure working unit, the lower a working fluid temperature is, the more a pump driving energy to drive the oil pump is decreased. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The oil pump driving control device of the vehicle as claimed in claim 1, wherein: the controller is configured to perform, as the control decreasing the pump driving energy, a control that decreases a drive output of the vehicle-mounted power source driving the oil pump. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The oil pump driving control device of the vehicle as claimed in claim 2, wherein: the controller is configured to set, according to the working fluid temperature, a required oil pump rotation speed for compensating a leak amount of a working fluid in a hydraulic circuit of the hydraulic pressure working unit, and is configured to perform, as the control decreasing the drive output of the vehicle-mounted power source, a rotation speed control with a setting required oil pump rotation speed being a target oil pump rotation speed. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The oil pump driving control device of the vehicle as claimed in claim 1, wherein: the controller is configured to add, as a permission condition of the pump driving energy decrease control, a creep cut condition, a non-learning control condition and an abnormality-absence judgment condition to a vehicle stop condition. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The oil pump driving control device of the vehicle as claimed in claim 4, wherein: the controller is configured to judge, during continuation of the pump driving energy decrease control, whether the permission condition is satisfied, and is configured to stop the pump driving energy decrease control when the permission condition is not satisfied. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The oil pump driving control device of the vehicle as claimed in claim 4, wherein: the controller is configured to simultaneously output an increase command of the pump driving energy and a pressure increase command of the hydraulic pressure working unit when a judgment is made that the permission condition is not satisfied, and is configured to shift the control to a normal pressure control when a pressure return delay time elapses. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The oil pump driving control device of the vehicle as claimed in claim 6, wherein: the controller is configured to return the pump driving energy at an increase gradient that is steeper than a decrease gradient of the pump driving energy when outputting the increase command of the pump driving energy. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The oil pump driving control device of the vehicle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hydraulic pressure working unit comprises at least a belt-type continuously variable transmission. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The oil pump driving control device of the vehicle as claimed in claim 8, wherein the hydraulic pressure working unit comprises at least one clutch and the belt-type continuously variable transmission.
