Abstract

A control apparatus for a vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes an engine, a first electric motor, a rotary member, and a rotation lock mechanism. The rotary member is provided between the engine and the first electric motor. The rotation lock mechanism is configured to prevent a coupling portion of the rotary member on the engine side from rotating in at least one direction. The control apparatus includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to learn characteristic associated with an input torque of the rotary member by applying a torque to the rotary member by the first electric motor and measuring a twist angle of the rotary member, with the rotation lock mechanism preventing the coupling portion from rotating.
