Abstract
A control apparatus for a vehicle including an engine, drive wheels, a drive-force transmitting apparatus, a hydraulic pressure sensor and a pump. The control apparatus makes a determination as to whether a failure occurs in the hydraulic pressure sensor, based on a detected value of a pulley hydraulic pressure by which a primary pulley or a secondary pulley of a continuously-variable transmission mechanism of the drive-force transmitting apparatus is to be operated. The control apparatus makes the determination until a given length of time elapses from a point of time at which the hydraulic pressure sensor becomes ready to detect the pulley hydraulic pressure after initiation of supply of an electric power to at least the hydraulic pressure sensor in an operation stopped state of the engine. The control apparatus does not make the determination after the given length of time elapses from the above-described point of time.
