Abstract

A control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a first motor that cranks the engine, and a second motor for propelling the hybrid vehicle, and is able to perform motor driving by using the first motor and the second motor as driving force sources. The control apparatus includes a controller that controls the first motor. The controller is configured to, during the motor driving, determine whether the first motor is in a single-phase locking state (step S), when it is determined that the first motor is in the single-phase locking, end the motor driving (step S), and then start the engine by cranking the engine with the use of the first motor (step S).
