Abstract
In a series mode, a clutch rotational speed difference ΔN is calculated, and when the clutch rotational speed difference ΔN is within a first predetermined range Rit is determined whether a sticking determination timer tindicates a first predetermined time tor longer. When a closed sticking timer t indicates the first predetermined time tor longer, fuel cut is performed, and the clutch rotational speed difference ΔN is re-calculated. When the closed sticking timer t indicates a second predetermined time tor longer, and the clutch rotational speed difference ΔN is within a second predetermined range R, it is determined that there is closed sticking of a clutch. When the closed sticking timer t indicates less than the time t, and the clutch rotational speed difference ΔN is out of the second predetermined range R, it is determined that there is no closed sticking of the clutch.
