Abstract
A shift range is selected based on a vehicle speed or acceleration of a vehicle and a shift range kept by a drive unit at the time when it is determined that there is a malfunction in shift sensors. Thus, it is possible to avoid a disabled self-propelled state resulting from a change into a neutral range through a fail-safe operation and keep limp home running.
