SHIFT-BY-WIRE CONTROL SYSTEM

Abstract:

Shift-by-wire control system including: actuator driven by electric signals generated in response to operator's manipulation to change speed range; main and auxiliary power source; ECU; and electric circuit connecting power source and ECU. ECU acquires vehicle travel speed information; determining whether main power supply is abnormal and travel speed is predetermined speed or lower; controlling electric circuit to stop auxiliary power supply until it is determined that main power supply is abnormal and travel speed is predetermined speed or lower; controlling electric circuit to supply power from auxiliary power source when it is determined that main power supply is abnormal and travel speed is predetermined speed or lower; determining whether auxiliary output voltage is predetermined voltage or lower; and controlling actuator to change speed range to parking range when it is determined that auxiliary output voltage is predetermined voltage or lower during auxiliary power supply.
