20140028231 | RANGE SWITCHOVER APPARATUS - When electric power supply is started, an initial driving operation is performed to switch over a power supply phase of a motor in open-loop control. Initial learning processing is performed to learn a phase deviation correction value for the power supply phase relative to a count value of a pulse signal of an encoder. As a restraint caused by a shape of a detent mechanism, the motor need be rotationally driven so that a detent lever does not move in a negative direction beyond a bottom position of a P-range in the initial driving operation.

When the motor rotates within a predetermined stop range, the feedback control ends and a power supply to the motor is stopped. However, if the motor has not rotated to the target rotation position after a predetermined time has elapsed from the stopping of the power supply to the motor, an open drive is performed, in which the power supply phase of the motor is sequentially switched by open-loop control and the motor is rotated in small and/or minute steps toward the target rotation position.

When the shift ranges before and after being switched are the ranges other that the P range, the controller controls the motor to rotate until the range switching mechanism abuts against a second limit position of the movable range and learns the rotation position of the motor as the reference position. | 07-31-2014 |

When a direction of rotation of the motor is the same as a direction toward the target position and a difference between the target position and a present position is larger than a threshold value in a case that the selected range is changed during rotational driving of the motor, the target position is updated to a post-change target position. When the direction of rotation of the motor is opposite to the direction toward the target position or the difference between the target position and the present position is smaller than the threshold value in the case that the selected range is changed during rotational driving of the motor, the target position is updated to the post-change target position after completing the switchover to the pre-change selected range. | 06-04-2015 |
