Electronic control device for vehicular automatic transmission

Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of obtaining an electronic control device for a vehicular automatic transmission that suppresses sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, and gear shift shock that occur when the transmission moves into a fail-safe mode due to the electronic control device stopping during a main CPU abnormality. An electronic control device 100 for a vehicular automatic transmission has: a main CPU 3 that performs gear shift control for the vehicular automatic transmission; and a sub-CPU 4 that detects abnormalities in the main CPU 3. When the sub-CPU 4 detects an abnormality in the main CPU 3 while the vehicle is traveling, the sub-CPU 4 stops the gear shift control executed by the main CPU 3. Next, when the control status of the vehicular automatic transmission is in a state of maintaining the gear position, the sub-PCU 4 continues the maintaining of the gear position; when the control status is in a state of changing the gear position, the sub-PCU 4 continues a gear shift operation for the gear position, and, instead of the main CPU 3, performs alternative control for maintaining the gear position after the gear position is changed. Subsequently, as a result of a stop in the traveling of the vehicle, the sub-PCU 4 finishes the alternative control and abnormally stops the electronic control of the automatic transmission.
