Abstract

When a slip control system is not operating, a speed ratio control device uses a sensor detected vehicle speed for speed ratio control, and when the slip control system is operating, it uses an estimated vehicle speed for speed ratio control. It is determined whether a variation amount of the estimated vehicle speed is greater than a threshold set to a variation amount which could not be obtained when there is no error. When the variation amount of the estimated vehicle speed is greater than the threshold, it is determined that the estimated vehicle speed is abnormal, and use of the estimated vehicle speed for speed ratio control is prohibited.
