Vehicle shift control apparatus

A vehicle shift control apparatus including a position sensor that detects an operational position of an operation element included in a shift operating device and operated artificially and an electronic control portion that electrically controls switchover of a shift range of a transmission based on a position signal corresponding to the operational position, output from the position sensor,

• the electronic control portion determining whether the position signal output from the position sensor is normal or abnormal and storing a determination result of whether the position signal is normal or abnormal,
• the electronic control portion switching the shift range based on the position signal output from the position sensor acquired when a vehicle electric power supply is turned on if the electronic control portion retains a memory of the determination result when the vehicle electric power supply is turned on, not switching the shift range based on the position signal output from the position sensor acquired when the vehicle electric power supply is turned on if the electronic control portion does not retain the memory of the determination result.
