Vehicle

A vehicle, comprising:

• a radiator that cools cooling water;
• a grille shutter that is provided on a vehicle front side of the radiator and opens or closes a grille provided in a vehicle;
• a first flow path in which the cooling water passes through the radiator;
• a second flow path in which the cooling water does not pass through the radiator;
• a thermostat that switches a path between the first flow path and the second flow path;
• a sensor that detects a speed of the vehicle;
• and
• a failure determiner that performs failure determination of the thermostat based on an actual temperature of the cooling water and an estimated temperature of the cooling water, the estimated temperature being calculated based on a temperature change of the cooling water of increasing or decreasing by an open or close state of the grille shutter in a travelling state of the vehicle, the grille shutter opening or closing the grill in accordance with the speed of the vehicle detected with the sensor,
• wherein the failure determiner is configured to:
• when the estimated temperature exceeds the given value, determine whether the actual temperature of the cooling water exceeds a given value as a primary failure determination, and then determine the thermostat as a temporary failure if the actual temperature of the cooling water exceeds the given value;
• when a given time elapses after the temporary failure determination is determined by the primary failure determination, determine again whether the actual temperature of the cooling water exceeds the given value as a secondary failure determination for performing again the failure determination of the thermostat, and then determine the thermostat as a failure if the actual temperature of the cooling water does not exceed the given value, or determine the thermostat as being normal if the actual temperature of the cooling water exceeds the given value.
