Abstract: In a transmission control device for controlling a transmission, a controller determines failure of a specific section. The controller variably controls line command pressure and secondary command pressure, and in a case where the failure is determined, fixes the line command pressure to a line pressure set value and the secondary command pressure to a secondary pressure set value. In a case where the failure is determined, the controller further starts a change in the secondary command pressure after start of a change in the line command pressure, and controls the secondary command pressure in such a manner that the secondary command pressure takes a first predetermined time to have the secondary pressure set value.

Abstract: Pressure regulation valve control device has line pressure regulation valve (4) having line pressure solenoid (41) and line pressure spool valve (42) and CVT control unit (8) controlling secondary pressure (Psec) by actuating the line pressure spool valve (42) by solenoid pressure (Psol) produced by controlling current command value (I) to the line pressure solenoid (41). CVT control unit (8) has abnormality control unit (81). The abnormality control unit (81) is configured to, when decrease in secondary pressure (Psec) is detected during travel, execute, during travel, abnormality control that increases solenoid pressure (Psol), supplied to line pressure spool valve (42) from line pressure solenoid (41), more than solenoid pressure (Psol) of a time when the decrease in secondary pressure (Psec) is detected. With this, even when the decrease in the pressure is detected during travel, the decrease in the pressure is suppressed during travel while reducing influence on vehicle travel.
