Abstract
A control apparatus for an automatic transmission in which when a select position of a select lever operated by a driver is detected by an inhibitor switch, and a detected select position is a neutral position and/or a reverse position, ignition timing is retarded or fuel supply is reduced to reduce output torque of an engine, the output torque of the engine is also reduced when abnormal detection of the select position is determined due to a disconnection of the inhibitor switch or the like, thereby preventing transmission of excessive output torque to a frictional engaging element to achieve a reverse and driving force transmission members connecting to the frictional engaging element.
