Abstract: The shift control ECU performs shift change control of switching the shift range from the P range to the D range based on a range switching request. When determining that the shift range is the P range based on the shift range state signal representing the shift range inputted from the shift control ECU, the door control ECU executes the opening control of the door based on the opening request for switching the door from the closed state to the open state, and outputs the door state signal representing the open/close state of the door to the shift control ECU. The shift control ECU switches the shift range from the D range to the N range when it is determined that there is a state change that has been switched from the closed state to the open state in the door within the predetermined period after the range switching request.

Abstract: The vehicle comprises an auto-return shift lever which is operated to switch the shift range. When the shift lever is held at the N position for a predetermined holding period or longer during the regeneration control while the shift range is traveling in the D range, the electronic control device of the vehicle performs the braking cooperative control for gradually decreasing the regeneration torque and gradually increasing the wheel brake torque for a predetermined control period, and then switches the shift range to the N range.

Abstract: An ECU is connected to a multi-system shift sensor detecting a shift lever position in a shift direction associated with detection of the R position, and to a multi-system select sensor detecting a shift lever position in a select direction not associated with detection of the R position. When only one or more, but not all, of sensors in the select sensor are abnormal, the ECU controls the shift range according to the shift position detected based on the remaining proper sensor. When only one or more of sensors in the shift sensor are abnormal, the ECU maintains the current range until an operation of a shift lever is detected, and switches the shift range to the N range at the point of time of detecting an operation of the shift lever.
