Abstract: A wireless communication abnormality determination device includes: a processor mounted on a vehicle which is non-contact chargeable. Further, the processor determines that there is an abnormality in a wireless communication device mounted on the vehicle and notify a user of the vehicle of the abnormality when determining that the vehicle is parked on a ground power supply device and the vehicle cannot perform wireless communications with the ground power supply device.

Abstract: A vibration reduction apparatus of a hybrid vehicle includes a differential rotation detector configured to detect a difference between a rotational speed of an output shaft of a prime mover and a rotational speed of a second rotating shaft, and controller configured to control a driving part and an electric motor so as to switch an operation mode from a first mode where a torque of the prime mover is output to an electric motor and a third shaft to a second mode where torque of the prime mover and the electric motor is output to the third shaft, when the difference detected by the differential rotation detector in the first mode is within a predetermined range continuously for a predetermined time.

Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling an automatic transmission connected to a prime mover mounted on a vehicle, having a torque converter equipped with a lock-up clutch, when predetermined operating conditions of the vehicle are satisfied at drive-off, a lock-up clutch engaging circuit is formed through a hydraulic supply circuit. Next it is determined whether engage-position sticking malfunction of the lock-up clutch has occurred based on a ratio of an input rotational speed of the automatic transmission relative to an output rotational speed of the prime mover and a change rate of the output rotational speed of the prime mover when the lock-up clutch engaging circuit has been formed, and fail-safe control is then implement when the sticking is determined.

Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling an automatic transmission connected to a prime mover mounted on a vehicle, having a torque converter equipped with a lock-up clutch, when the automatic transmission is gear-shifted to a predetermined gear at deceleration of the vehicle and it is determined that predetermined operating conditions of the vehicle are satisfied, a lock-up clutch engaging circuit is formed through a hydraulic supply circuit. Next it is determined whether engage-position sticking malfunction of the lock-up clutch has occurred based on a ratio of an input rotational speed of the automatic transmission relative to an output rotational speed of the prime mover when the lock-up clutch engaging circuit has been formed, and fail-safe control is then implement when the sticking is determined.

Abstract: When driver's deceleration intention is detected during traveling by a motor generator with an engine being stopped, a clutch is engaged to start the engine, and thereafter disengaged. When an engine speed after engine start is lower than a reference rotational speed being an input shaft rotational speed produced by driving force reversely transmitted from drive wheels, the engine speed is increased to a target rotational speed lower than the reference rotational speed. When the engine speed reaches the target rotational speed, output from the engine is decreased and the clutch is reengaged. Thus, while engine stall when activating the engine brake, which is due to the engine speed too low after engine start, is avoided by increase in the engine speed, the clutch is reengaged earlier so as to activate the engine brake fully, generating deceleration feeling the driver expects.
