  • Patent number: 10746289
    Abstract: A shift-by-wire system includes an actuator, a detent plate, a detent spring, a control unit, and a display device. The control unit includes a first position learning unit, a second position learning unit, and a power-on determination unit. When the power-on determination unit determines that the power on is the post-instantaneous interruption on while the vehicle power is turned on, the first position learning unit learns the first reference position or the second position learning unit learns the second reference position, (i) in a case where the display device still displays the N-range after the target-range determination unit determines the target range to the R-range while the display device displays the N-range or (ii) in a case where the display device displays the N-range after the target-range determination unit determines the target range to the N-range while the display device displays the R-range.

  • Patent number: 9970539
    Abstract: A shift position switch controller includes a reference position learner, learning a reference rotation position of an electric motor in a reference shift position, a target position setter, while setting a target rotation position based on an absolute rotation position detected by an absolute position detector until a satisfaction of a first condition, which is an initialization of a learned reference rotation position in the reference shift position or a second condition, which is a post-switch shift position being set as the reference shift position in a shift position switch instruction that is input after the initialization of the learned reference rotation position, and setting the target rotation position based on a rotation position that is detected by a rotation position detector with reference to the reference rotation position serving as a rotation start position.
