Abstract

An ECU determines in an HV mode that a fuel sender gauge is in malfunction when a first condition is met, and determines in an EV mode that the fuel sender gauge is in malfunction when a second condition differing from the first condition is met. The first condition is met when the difference between an estimated value of the fuel consumption amount and an amount of change in the detection value by the fuel sender gauge is greater than a predetermined value Z. The second condition is met when the detection value changes exceeding a predetermined range X.
