Abstract: An ECU includes a collision determination unit, a condition determination unit, and an output suppression unit. The collision determination unit monitors an acceleration detected by a collision sensor, and determines that a vehicle collision has occurred when the acceleration is greater than a predetermined value. The condition determination unit determines whether or not a vehicular speed absolute value is smaller than a threshold vehicular speed in a determination period lasting from the determination of collision for a predetermined time. The output suppression unit suppresses an output of a vehicle driving force when the vehicular speed absolute value is smaller than the threshold vehicular speed in the determination period.

Abstract: When a collision of a vehicle is detected, a control device performs fuel cut of an engine (14) in a case where the engine (14) is in a driven state, and engages an engine connection/disconnection clutch (K0) in a case where the engine connection/disconnection clutch (K0) is disengaged, whereby the rotational resistance of a motor (MG) is increased by drag of the engine (14) and the rotation speed (Nmg) of the motor (MG) after the collision of the vehicle can be speedily reduced. Consequently, generation of an electromotive force by rotation of the motor (MG) is prevented, and it is possible to speedily complete discharge of an inverter circuit (40).

Abstract: An ECU executes a program including the steps of: executing fuel-cut control when an IG OFF operation has been performed and when a vehicle is traveling; executing deceleration control when vehicle speed is equal to or higher than a threshold value; ending the deceleration control and permitting restart of an engine when the vehicle speed has become lower than the threshold value; and controlling a first MG and the engine when an IG ON operation has been performed.

Abstract: In a vehicle with a driving power source (an engine, a motor generator, or a similar component) to output driving power for running to a driving wheel, in a case where a restart is requested on the driving power source in an accelerator-on state after a stop operation is performed on the driving power source (a hybrid system) during running of a vehicle, the driving power corresponding to an accelerator position at the time of restart request is not directly output. Instead, the driving power is output to the driving wheels while being gradually increased. This reduces deterioration of drivability in recovery of the driving power.

Abstract: When a collision of a vehicle is detected, a control device performs fuel cut of an engine (14) in a case where the engine (14) is in a driven state, and engages an engine connection/disconnection clutch (KO) in a case where the engine connection/disconnection clutch (KO) is disengaged, whereby the rotational resistance of a motor (MG) is increased by drag of the engine (14) and the rotation speed (Nmg) of the motor (MG) after the collision of the vehicle can be speedily reduced. Consequently, generation of an electromotive force by rotation of the motor (MG) is prevented, and it is possible to speedily complete discharge of an inverter circuit (40).

Abstract: During the deactivation of a driving system of a vehicle, an ECU determines whether or not a P range abnormality occurs which exhibits that a shift signal transmitted from a shift position sensor includes a P signal and an MJ signal corresponding to the P range as well as a different-type signal other than the P signal and the MJ signal. When the P range abnormality occurs, the ECU determines whether or not the vehicle-stopped state can be assured based on whether or not a brake-ON state (a hydraulic braking force or a parking braking force are beyond the range capable of maintaining vehicle-stopped state) is present. In a case where a P range abnormality occurs, when ECU determines that the vehicle-stopped state can be assured, the ECU allows the activation of the driving system.

Abstract: An ECU determines whether or not there is an abnormality (shift pattern abnormality) in a combination of shift signals provided from a shift position sensor. After occurrence of the shift pattern abnormality is determined, the ECU determines whether or not a first condition that a shift pattern changes into a normal pattern of a drive range is satisfied, and whether or not a second condition that a vehicle is running (a driver has an intention to cause the vehicle to run) is satisfied. When occurrence of the shift pattern abnormality is determined, the ECU stops generation of driving force of the vehicle and prohibits switching to the drive range. When the above-mentioned first condition and second condition are satisfied after occurrence of the shift pattern abnormality is determined, the ECU switches the shift range to the drive range indicated by the shift pattern and recovers the driving force.

Abstract: A vehicle is provided with a differential gear including a sun gear, a carrier, and a ring gear, motor generators coupled to the sun gear, an engine coupled to the carrier, and a wheel coupled to the ring gear. The vehicle includes an ECU that stops the engine upon operation of a start switch by a driver, and a brake that brakes the sun gear upon operation of the start switch while the vehicle is traveling.

Abstract: In a first slip suppression control by a first slip suppression control unit when a vehicle stops on a slope, an electronic control unit controls an output torque of an electric motor so that a rotation speed of an input rotation member of a hydraulic power transmission reaches a predetermined target rotation speed during stopping of an engine. The electronic control unit starts the engine when the output torque of the electric motor is greater than a predetermined torque. Accordingly, when the output torque of the electric motor at a rotation speed under a slip suppression control is insufficient, the output torque of the engine can be used and thus a locked state of the electric motor is appropriately prevented.

Abstract: An ECU determines whether or not there is an abnormality (shift pattern abnormality) in a combination of shift signals provided from a shift position sensor. After occurrence of the shift pattern abnormality is determined, ECU determines whether or not a first condition that a shift pattern has changed into a normal pattern of a drive range, a second condition that a brake is ON and a vehicle is in a stop state is satisfied, and a third condition that an accelerator is OFF are satisfied. When occurrence of the shift pattern abnormality is determined, ECU stops generation of driving force of the vehicle and prohibits switching to the drive range. When ECU determines that the above-mentioned first to third conditions are satisfied after occurrence of the shift pattern abnormality is determined, ECU switches the shift range to the drive range indicated by the shift pattern.

Abstract: In a vehicle with a driving power source (an engine, a motor generator, or a similar component) to output driving power for running to a driving wheel, in a case where a restart is requested on the driving power source in an accelerator-on state after a stop operation is performed on the driving power source (a hybrid system) during running of a vehicle, the driving power corresponding to an accelerator position at the time of restart request is not directly output. Instead, the driving power is output to the driving wheels while being gradually increased. This reduces deterioration of drivability in recovery of the driving power.
