Abstract
A vehicle includes a motor, a resolver which detects a rotation angle of the motor, an automatic transmission which shifts rotation of the motor and transmits the shifted rotation to a drive shaft, and an ECU which performs learning control for correcting an error of the resolver and shift control of the automatic transmission. The ECU controls the automatic transmission such that, when the learning control is performed, a gear ratio becomes higher at a prescribed vehicle speed, than that when the learning control is not performed. By controlling the automatic transmission as described above, even when the vehicle is traveling at a low speed, a rotation speed of the motor easily reaches a rotation speed at and above which the learning control of the resolver can be performed. Accordingly, an opportunity to perform the learning control of the resolver can be obtained early.
