Abstract
An apparatus for controlling an opening-and-closing member for a vehicle includes: a latch mechanism; a driving lever; a neutral position detecting portion detecting that the driving lever is in a predetermined neutral position; and a controlling portion performing a close movement, a release movement, and a returning movement after the close movement or the release movement, the controlling portion including a stress relaxing portion executing a driving of the driving lever in a reverse direction toward the neutral position after the close movement in a case of a detection failure, a prohibiting portion executing a prohibition of the driving of the driving lever after the driving of the driving lever in the reverse direction, and a cancelling portion cancelling the prohibition of the driving of the driving lever in a case where the number of times of the detection failures is less than a predetermined plural number of times.
