CONTROL DEVICE FOR HYBRID VEHICLE

[Problem to be Solved] [0002] There is provided a control device for a hybrid vehicle, the control device being capable of easily detecting the abnormal state of a shift position sensor at a low cost by making use of a neutral switch and a reverse switch, and of preventing an electric motor from being driven based on a detection result from the shift position sensor that is in an abnormal state. [0003] [Solution] [0004] In a hybrid vehicle (1), an ECU (10) prohibits a motor generator (3) from being controlled based on a detection result by a shift position sensor (41) on a condition that the detection result by the shift position sensor (41) fails to match detection results by a neutral switch (42) and a reverse switch (43), the shift position sensor (41) detecting a position of a shift-and-select shaft (45) corresponding to a gear stage of a transmission.
