A control apparatus for controlling a linear solenoid by controlling a driving current supplied to the linear solenoid through a feedback control. The feedback control is executed by a feedback control system having parameters that are determined in accordance with an ILQ design method. In a frequency characteristic of a gain of a transfer function representing a ratio of an output to a disturbance in the feedback control system, the gain is lower than 0 [dB] throughout all frequency ranges.

Control apparatus for linear solenoid

A control device of a vehicle with a stepped automatic transmission has: a gradient acquiring part; a driving force calculating part; a future change estimating part; and a shift control part. The shift control part prohibits change of the gear stage when the speed of change of the speed or acceleration of the vehicle in the future if the maximum driving force applied, is within a reference range of speed of change where the occupants would not notice a change in speed or acceleration, and permits change of the gear stage when the speed of change of the speed or acceleration of the vehicle in the future if the maximum driving force applied, is outside the reference range of speed of change.

Control device of vehicle

A vehicle system includes: a shift operation device including an operator, the operator being configured to be returned to an initial position when not operated by a driver, the operator being configured to be operated by the driver to an operation position corresponding to a shift position of an automatic transmission; a change mechanism configured to change the shift position by activating an actuator; and an electronic control unit configured to set a first required position on the basis of the initial position and the operation position, electrically change the shift position on the basis of the required position, hold the required position as a second required position until a new required position is set on the basis of the operation position, and, by comparing the second required position with the shift position, determine whether the vehicle system is abnormal.

Vehicle system

A vehicle control device includes: a first calculation processing portion outputting a calculation result based on an input value; and a second calculation processing portion acquiring the same input value as the input value of the first calculation processing portion, the second calculation processing portion detecting an abnormality of the first calculation processing portion based on comparison between the input value of the second calculation processing portion and the calculation result of the first calculation processing portion or based on whether the calculation result is a predefined highly safe state value at which a relatively high safety state of a vehicle is acquired.

Vehicle control apparatus

An electronic circuit device including a circuit board having electronic parts, and a flexible wiring board for connection between the circuit board and external equipment. The circuit board has circuit-side connection terminals juxtaposed on a mount surface having the electrical parts mounted thereon or a non-mount surface. The wiring board has terminals juxtaposed on one of the surfaces thereof so that the wiring-board-side connection terminals confront the circuit-side circuit board connection terminals, and free-end portions each formed so as to include at least one of the wiring-board-side connection terminals, and the wiring board free-end portions are not adhesively attached to the circuit board, and the circuit-side connection terminals are electrically connected to the corresponding wiring-board-side connection terminals while the circuit-side connection terminals confront the wiring-board-side connection terminals.

Electronic circuit device

In an inspection procedure of a completed product of an automatic transmission main body at a unit factory, a control system transmits a control signal to an actuator to receive characteristic data (hardware performance information) output in response to operation of the automatic transmission main body according to the control signal. The hardware performance information of the automatic transmission main body is brought into correspondence with hardware identification information, and set in a database as learning value data. The learning value data of the automatic transmission main body is transferred to a vehicle factory to be aggregated in a database management system at the vehicle factory. When the automatic transmission main body is assembled with an electronic control device, learning value data of the automatic transmission main body is read out based on the hardware identification information from the database management system, and written into an AT_ECU during the inspection procedure of a completed vehicle at the vehicle factory.

Writing method of hardware performance information of unit in vehicle

The present invention provides inspection of a transmission with higher precision and in a shorter period of time. Before a finished A/T is inspected, a V/B ASSY and an ECU are inspected together by a V/B tester in a subsidiary line. A solenoid current command value (a characteristic value inherent in the A/T) for a linear solenoid of the V/B ASSY is corrected and written into the ECU through CAN communication. Spring load of a return spring SP and stroke of the piston of a hydraulic servo for a frictional engagement element are measured. Actually measured values or corrected values of the spring load and the stroke are stored. In the final inspection of the A/T a finished-product tester reads the stored characteristic values and transmits them to the ECU integrated with the A/T through CAN communication. The characteristic values are then written into the ECU. The finished-product tester inspects the finished A/T product, using the characteristic values thus written into the ECU.
