Abstract
A fail-safe control device for an electronically controlled automatic transmission to be mounted on a vehicle arranged in such a manner that the number of engine revolution or the number of revolution input to a T/M is detected, the duration of the engine revolving state is counted, and it is determined that a failure of the engine water temperature sensor occurs if the engine water temperature detected by the engine water temperature sensor after a predetermined time elapse counted is lower than a predetermined temperature. As a result of this, a proper fail-safe control against the failure of the engine water temperature sensor can be performed.
