20100057316CONTROLLER FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - In a controller for a belt-type continuously variable transmission including a hydraulic actuator that changes a groove width of a primary pulley, a hydraulic actuator that changes a groove width of a secondary pulley, and a belt clamping pressure control solenoid that controls the hydraulic pressure supplied to the hydraulic actuator of the secondary pulley, a mechanism calculates a transmission ratio between the primary pulley and the secondary pulley and determines whether or not there is belt slippage based on that calculated transmission ratio, and a mechanism determines normalcy of the belt clamping pressure control solenoid. The input torque when belt slippage has actually occurred, i.e., when a failure has been determined, is used as a condition when performing the normalcy determination. By setting such a condition, it is possible for a normalcy determination threshold value (input torque value α) used for the normalcy determination to be a small value, and thus it is possible to suppress erroneous normalcy determination.03-04-2010
