Abstract: A control device for a vehicular automatic transmission which can realize a shifting with quickened response with suppressing a turbine blow-up during the shifting is provided. When a response in hydraulic pressure control by a hydraulic pressure control circuit 42 fails to satisfy a preset predetermined determining criterion, a shifting response is prevented from improving, in comparison to a case where the determining criterion is satisfied. Under a relatively low response of the hydraulic pressure control by the hydraulic pressure control circuit 42 due to air mixture to working oil, a control to inhibit a high-response shifting or the like is performed, so that a turbine blow-up caused by a delayed response of hydraulic pressure can be prevented. Thus, the control device for the vehicular automatic transmission can be provided, which can realize the shifting with quickened response, with suppressing the turbine blow-up during the shifting.

Abstract: When the driver makes a request for switching the shift range to the P range despite that the vehicle has not yet stopped completely, the wheel cylinder pressure is maintained at a brake hold pressure Ph for a while, rather than switching the shift range to the P range immediately. At this time, more specifically, the wheel cylinder pressure is maintained at the brake hold pressure Ph for a brake hold duration ?t within which the vehicle is estimated to stop, and when the brake hold duration ?t has passed, the shift range is switched to the P range. After the lock mechanism is actuated to establish the P range, the wheel cylinder pressure is gradually reduced from the brake hold pressure Ph at a given pressure reducing gradient.

Abstract: When a vehicle stops, a brake control unit maintains a braking force applied on a wheel by a braking-force application unit for maintaining a halted state. In this state, if a driver depresses the accelerator pedal to execute starting of the vehicle, the braking force is gradually decreased, and the vehicle starts at a speed that accords with a degree of accelerator opening and a gradient of a road on which the vehicle is stopped. When a movement direction at this time is the same as a movement direction intended by the driver, the braking force is decreased to zero for smooth starting. When the movement direction is opposite to the intended movement direction, the braking force is increased to control the movement in the opposite direction, such that the movement changes from the opposite direction to the same direction, and finally, smooth starting in the desired direction is executed.

Abstract: A control system for an automatic transmission includes a clutch adapted to be applied when a forward running range is selected, for transmitting the rotation of an engine to a speed change unit. A hydraulic servo applies the clutch responsive to feed of an oil pressure and a control unit controls the oil pressure fed to the hydraulic servo. The control unit brings the clutch into a substantially released state by lowering the oil pressure of the hydraulic servo if the stop state of a vehicle is detected by a stop state detector and applies the clutch if the stop state of the vehicle is not detected with the clutch released. The oil pressure fed to the hydraulic servo is raised according to a second mode when the accelerator pedal is depressed, in preference to a first mode in which a brake pedal is released, if the accelerator pedal is depressed when the stop state of the vehicle is not detected because the accelerator pedal is released so that the engagement of the clutch has not started.
