Abstract
A shift position switching controller determines whether the responsiveness for switching the shift position to an other-than-N position will be affected by a reduction of an N position check time and keeps the N position check time unchanged from a normal value if a current shift position is a D position or if a vehicle speed is equal to or greater than a preset value. Alternatively, the shift position switching controller determines whether the responsiveness of the controller will be affected by reducing the N position check time, and sets the N position check time to a shorter-than-normal value if the current shift position is a D position and the vehicle speed is equal to or greater than the preset value.
