Abstract
A shift-by-wire system improves responsiveness to a shift command and ensures safety. An electric motor generates a rotational output to be used to switch the ranges of an automatic transmission. A by-wire control circuit unit electrically controls the rotation of the electric motor to comply with an inputted shift command. If a re-shift command is inputted during switching control, the by-wire control circuit unit modifies rotation control. The modification can be implemented until the rotational position of the electric motor reaches a new target rotational position to comply with the re-shift command.
