Abstract

There is provided a shift-by-wire control system including a range switching device that switches engagement or disengagement of a forward engagement element and a reverse engagement element by using an actuator, a range switching operation unit by which a driver inputs a range switching operation, and a range switching control unit that controls the actuator of the range switching device on the basis of the state of the range switching operation unit. The shift-by-wire control system further includes vehicle start preparation state determination units for determining a vehicle start preparation state. When the vehicle start preparation state determination unit determines that the vehicle start preparation state is incomplete, the range switching control unit executes running prohibition control by which the forward engagement element and the reverse engagement element are all disengaged, regardless of the state of the range switching operation unit.
