Abstract
Abstract An electronic control system for controlling an automatic transmission mounted on a vehicle determines whether a vehicle speed sensor is abnormal or not when the transmission gears are in a neutral gear position. If the vehicle speed sensor is abnormal, then vehicle speed data immediately before the vehicle speed sensor becomes abnormal is stored, and a gear position is determined based on the stored vehicle speed data for a predetermined period of time after the transmission gears are shifted from the neutral gear position to another gear position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
An electronic control system for controlling an automatic transmission mounted on a vehicle and having gear position detecting means, based on at least vehicle speed data from a vehicle speed sensor, comprising: detecting means for detecting an abnormality of the vehicle speed sensor when the gear position of the transmission as detected by the gear position detecting means is a neutral gear position; memory means for storing. when the abnormality of the vehicle speed sensor is detected, vehicle speed data obtained from the vehicle speed sensor immediately before the abnormality of the vehicle speed sensor is detected; and gear position determining means for determining, when the abnormality of the vehicle speed sensor is detected, a gear position for the automatic transmission based on the vehicle speed data stored in said memory means for a predetermined period of time after the gear position is changed from the neutral gear position to another gear position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
153 words
An electronic control system for controlling an automatic transmission mounted on a vehicle and having gear position detecting means, based on at least vehicle speed data from a vehicle speed sensor, comprising: detecting means for detecting an abnormality of the vehicle speed sensor when the gear position of the transmission as detected by the gear position detecting means is a neutral gear position; memory means for storing. when the abnormality of the vehicle speed sensor is detected, vehicle speed data obtained from the vehicle speed sensor immediately before the abnormality of the vehicle speed sensor is detected; and gear position determining means for determining, when the abnormality of the vehicle speed sensor is detected, a gear position for the automatic transmission based on the vehicle speed data stored in said memory means for a predetermined period of time after the gear position is changed from the neutral gear position to another gear position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
An electronic control system according to claim 1, wherein said detecting means includes means for detecting the abnormality of the vehicle speed sensor when an amount of change of the vehicle speed data from the vehicle speed sensor within a given period of time exceeds a predetermined value.
