Abstract:
In motor double-drive mode, a first rotation speed (Np1) and a second rotation speed (Np2) as a drive shaft rotation speed are calculated from rotation speeds (Nm1, Nm2) of motors (MG1, MG2) on the assumption that an engine rotation speed is zero (S110). A state where a difference (Npl - Np2) between the first rotation speed and the second rotation speed is larger than a threshold (Npref) continues, and, when a malfunction counter (CW) becomes larger than a threshold (CWref), it is determined that there is a malfunction in a one-way clutch (CL1) or pinion gears (S140 to S180). At a start of the engine, it is determined that there is a malfunction in the one-way clutch (CL1) when the engine rotation speed (Ne) is normally increasing (S240), and it is determined that there is a malfunction in the pinion gears when the engine rotation speed (Ne) is not normally increasing (S260).

The transmission includes an input shaft, an output shaft, and a clutch.

The electronic control unit is configured to, when the rotation speed difference detected by the electronic control unit is smaller than a predetermined rotation speed difference (α) between the input shaft and the output shaft in a case where the power transmission shut-off state of the clutch is established, inhibit the cranking of the engine using the first motor generator (MG1) and to, when the power transmission shut-off state is established, provoke the cranking of the engine using the first motor generator (MG1).

Abstract:
Methods and systems are described for monitoring a determined wheel speed of a wheel. A three wheel speed values—each indicative of a measured wheel speed of a different wheel—are each received from a different wheel speed sensor. An estimated wheel speed value for a fourth wheel is determined based on at least one of the three wheel speed values. A calculated wheel speed value is determined based on information received from a vehicle system. A fault condition is detected based on deviations between the estimated wheel speed value for the fourth wheel and the calculated wheel speed value for the fourth wheel.
