Abstract

A control device for a hybrid vehicle that can avoid component damage due to such operation, and can continue driving smoothly even in the case that operation that does not occur during normal driving occurs. In the case that the main contactor , which has been turned ON, is turned OFF due to the ignition being turned OFF while the motor has a high rotation speed, and then the ignition is turned ON again, the engine control device controls engine so that the rotation speed of the engine becomes the rotation speed at which the voltage generated by regeneration of motor is equal to or below the withstanding voltage of the power drive unit . Subsequently, when the main contactor is turned ON by the engine speed falling, the engine control device controls the engine so that the engine speed becomes equal to or less than 7000 rpm.
