Abstract
The gear position measuring device includes a switch, an output unit, a processor, and a storage. The switch includes multiple individual contacts respectively corresponding to the multiple gear positions. The multiple individual contacts are separated into multiple gear position groups that include at least two of the multiple individual contacts. The output unit includes circuits so that the individual contacts for the gear positions of each of the multiple gear position groups are connected to the same circuit, thereby being able to output from the circuits that are different for each of the multiple gear position groups. When an output value from the output unit is changed, the processor determines a current gear position on the basis of the gear position stored in the storage and the multiple gear positions corresponding to the output value from the output unit.
