Abstract
A method and system for detecting a failure of an automatic transmission for a vehicle employing a speed shift range switch operation signal from a speed shift range switch as one of the control signals to control the automatic transmission. The method is carried out by: detecting a speed shift range from the speed shift range switch; generating a start signal indicating a starting state of a starter for expediting a start of an engine for the vehicle; and automatically controlling the automatic transmission so as to maintain the speed shift range in the case where 'P' or 'N' range is not detected when the start signal is 'ON'.
