Abstract
A vehicle shift-by-wire device includes: a casing in which the shift actuator is disposed; a coupling member; and a connecting/disconnecting member disposed in the casing movably in the shifting direction and movably in a connecting/disconnecting direction crossing the shifting direction, and moved in the shifting direction integrally with the coupling member, wherein when the connecting/disconnecting member is held at an electrically shifting position in the connecting/disconnecting direction, the connecting/disconnecting member is coupled to the shift actuator and is moved in the shifting direction by the shift actuator to switch the shift corresponding position of the shift position switching mechanism via the coupling member, and wherein when the connecting/disconnecting member is moved to a manually shifting position in the connecting/disconnecting direction, the connecting/disconnecting member coupled to the shift actuator is disconnected so that the shift actuator is disabled to switch the shift corresponding position of the shift position switching mechanism.
