A diagnosis device includes a learning information acquisition unit configured to acquire a learning value of a first device mounted in at least one first vehicle present in a predetermined range from a second vehicle, a learning unit configured to calculate a learning value of a second device mounted in the second vehicle using the learning value of the first device, and a diagnosis unit configured to diagnose an operation state of the second device by comparing a detection value of the second device with the learning value of the second device.

Diagnosis device and diagnosis method

A vehicle-side connector included at one end of a cable through which a power source outside a vehicle feeds a power storage device, includes a signal pin, a resistive element Rconnected to the signal pin at one end, a switch connected in series to the resistive element Rat one end and grounded at the other end, and a resistive element Rconnected in parallel to the switch. The switch changes from an ON state to an OFF state upon depression of a depression portion located on the vehicle-side connector. The vehicle includes a resistive element Rwhose one end is connectable to the signal pin and other end is grounded and a control device which determines a state of connection of the cable on the basis of a signal voltage value input from a signal line electrically connected to the signal pin.

A shift control ECU includes the steps of storing a position of a shift lever; starting a count-up timer when the shift lever comes to a neutral position; and recognizing a driver's request for the neutral position when a count-up timer value attains TN() if the stored shift lever position is a home position and when a count-up timer value attains TN() if the stored shift lever position is not the home position. Here, TN() is set to be smaller than TN().
