Abstract

A control apparatus and control method of an automatic transmission that establishes a plurality of speeds of different speed ratios by selectively engaging and/or releasing a plurality of engagement devices, detects abnormal engagement of at least one of the engagement devices which causes tie-up to occur in the automatic transmission; establishes a predetermined specific speed set in advance in order to prevent tie-up from occurring in the automatic transmission, when abnormal engagement of the at least one of the engagement devices is detected; and places the automatic transmission in a neutral state when an engine speed will exceed a predetermined allowable speed if the predetermined specific speed is established.
