Abstract

A fail-safe control device for an electronically controlled automatic transmission to be mounted on a vehicle, the fail-safe control device: detects the battery voltage; previously stores a standard battery voltage; makes a comparison between the thus-detected battery voltage and the above-described standard battery voltage; and switches to an emergency mode of turning off all of shift solenoids when the voltage deviates from the standard upon the comparison. As a result of this, generation of defects that shifting from high speed gear stage to a lower speed gear stage due to defective operation of the shift solenoid and disconnection or the like due to the overvoltage of the solenoid can be prevented. Furthermore, if a failure is detected, it can be notified to a drive.
