Abstract

A vehicle controller includes processing circuitry configured to execute a counter updating process, first and second starting processes, and a resetting process. The resetting process includes resetting the crank counter when a crank counter has a value outside of a range corresponding to a tooth-missing portion in a case in which a magnitude of a difference obtained by subtracting a value of a pre-update crank counter from the value of the crank counter that was increased by receiving the pulse signal in the counter updating process is greater than a first threshold value corresponding to a specified angle. The resetting process further includes resetting the crank counter when the crank counter has a value within the range corresponding to the tooth-missing portion in a case in which the magnitude of the difference is greater than a second threshold value that is greater than the first threshold value.
