Abstract
According to the invention, erroneous learning of an accelerator pedal fully-closed position is reliably detected, problems originating from the erroneous learning are prevented from arising, and further improvements in reliability of vehicle motion are achieved. A fully-closed position learning process routine for an actual control in which a learning value of a fully-closed position of an accelerator pedal is supplied for actual motion control of a vehicle, and a fully-closed position learning process routine for monitoring used for determining erroneous learning of the learning value of the fully-closed position learning process routine for the actual motion control, are executed, independently, and it is determined that the actual control fully-closed position learning process routine is in an erroneous learning condition in which fuel is injected in an amount exceeding an actually required amount if the learning value in the actual control fully-closed position learning process routine is lower than the learning value in the monitoring fully-closed position learning process routine.
