Abstract: A control system is provided in a vehicle including an internal combustion engine, a second MG, and a first MG. The control system starts the engine when required vehicle output becomes equal to or larger than a predetermined start threshold value, and stops the engine when the required vehicle output becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined stop threshold value. The control system controls the engine so that output power equal to or larger than a predetermined output lower-limit value is generated, during a period from the time when the required vehicle output becomes equal to or larger than the predetermined start threshold value to the time when the required vehicle output becomes equal to or lower than the predetermined stop threshold value. The predetermined output lower-limit value is set to the predetermined start threshold value used when the required vehicle output becomes equal to or larger than the predetermined start threshold value.

Abstract: An ECU operates a charging unit such that a power storage device is charged by an electric power from a power supply. When a vehicle moves while charging the unit charges the power storage device, the ECU stops charging the unit to discontinue the charging of the power storage device. The ECU diagnoses a state of the charging unit after the charging of the power storage device is stopped. The ECU determines whether the charging of the power storage device is able to be resumed based on the diagnostic result. When determining that the charging of the power storage device is able to be resumed, the ECU resumes the charging of the power storage device by resuming the operation of the charging unit.
