20090076701 | Vehicle cruise control apparatus and vehicle cruise control method - A vehicle cruise control apparatus includes a vehicle speed adjusting device that adjusts a vehicle speed to a set target vehicle speed, a brake operation detecting device that detects brake operation performed by a driver, and a first controller that controls the vehicle speed adjusting device based on a target driving force that maintains a vehicle in a stopped condition, when the brake operation performed by the driver is detected. | 03-19-2009 |
20090088935 | CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - If a mode-detection value is switched from an automatic shift-mode to a manual shift-mode, a T-ECU changes a shift-stage to a speed lower than a speed that is obtained before the switching of the mode-detection value. The T-ECU determines that a state of the T-ECU returns to a recognizable-state, in which a mode-selection value can be recognized, from an unrecognizable-state, in which the mode-selection value cannot be recognized. The T-ECU sets the shift-stage to a hold value after the return. The T-ECU controls the shift-stage in the automatic shift-mode āDā over a standby-period after the return. The T-ECU controls the shift-stage in the automatic shift-mode āDā until the detection of the operation of the shift-lever after the standby-period passes. | 04-02-2009 |

20100305823 | AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM FOR REALIZING THAT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM ON WHICH THAT PROGRAM IS RECORDED - An ECU controls an automatic transmission that can be manually shifted. The ECU executes a program that includes i) the step of, when there are a plurality of allowed gears that are allowed at the time of a downshift operation (i.e., YES in S | 12-02-2010 |
20110098881 | VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A vehicle control device having an actuator operative to prevent a movement of a vehicle and a shift operating device including a shift position detection means detecting a shift position, the vehicle control device outputting, when the shift operating device is shift-operated to a predetermined shift position to release prevention of the movement of the vehicle, a control signal for permitting the actuator to release the prevention of the movement of the vehicle, the vehicle control device includes: an abnormality detecting means that detects an abnormality in at least part of the shift position detection means; a shift operation determining means that determines, based on a detection signal from the shift position detection means, whether the shift operating device is shift-operated or not by a driver, and a vehicle movement prevention control means that, in a case where the movement of the vehicle is prevented by the actuator and in a case where the abnormality in part of the shift position detection means is detected by the abnormality detecting means, permits the actuator to release the prevention of the movement of the vehicle if it is determined by the shift operation determining means that the shift operating device is shift-operated by the driver, the shift operation determining means determining that the shift operating device is shift-operated by the driver if the shift position changes from a predefined pre-operation position to a position other than the pre-operation position after the abnormality in part of the shift position detection means is detected by the abnormality detecting means. | 04-28-2011 |
20110130910 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - When a charge connector has been removed from a vehicle-side connector while parking lock is set, an ECU determines whether or not there is return history that a momentary shift lever has moved to a home position after removal of the charge connector from the vehicle-side connector. When there is return history and when a brake-on state is set, the shift lever has been operated from the home position to any position of N, D and R, and the resultant position is continuously maintained for a prescribed period of time, the ECU unlocks the parking lock. | 06-02-2011 |
20110202231 | VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - 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. | 08-18-2011 |
20120072083 | CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE - When initial drive control for an actuator driving a shift switch mechanism is completed, a P-ECU determines whether an IG signal is received. In the case where the P-ECU has not received the IG signal at the time when the initial drive control is completed, the P-ECU temporarily keeps the actuator in a state where the initial drive control is completed. In the case where the P-ECU receives the IG signal in the period from completion of the initial drive control to the time when a predetermined time T | 03-22-2012 |

20120305360 | SHIFT CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - It is provided a shift control device for a vehicle having a parking lock device driven by an actuator to selectively switch switching positions between a lock position and an unlock position, wherein when a run-enable operation is made by a driver and a non-running state is switched to a running state, shift position recognizing control is executed for recognizing an initial switching position appearing at the beginning when the running state is established, by driving the actuator in response to switching position information indicative of the switching position on a stage before the running state is established, wherein: the non-running state is configured to be switched to the running state prior to the execution of the run-enable operation; and updating of the switching position information, stored in the switching position information storage device, is permitted to be executed subjected to the switching position recognizing control being executed. | 12-06-2012 |
20120309590 | VEHICULAR SHIFT CONTROL APPARATUS - A vehicular shift control apparatus for a vehicle provided with a parking lock device selectively switched to a locking position in which rotation of wheels of the vehicle is prevented and a non-locking position in which the rotation of the wheels is not prevented, by an operation of an electrically operated actuator, the vehicular shift control apparatus being configured to perform a failure diagnosis to determine whether the actuator is operable or not, the vehicular shift control apparatus includes: the vehicular shift control apparatus permits the operation of the actuator if a supply voltage to the actuator is raised from a value lower than a predetermined threshold supply voltage value to a value not lower than the threshold supply voltage value after a determination that the actuator is inoperable is obtained in the failure diagnosis. | 12-06-2012 |
