Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a first MG (motor generator), a second MG, a battery electrically connected to the first MG and the second MG, an engine ECU configured to control the engine, and a hybrid ECU (Electronic Control Unit) configured to control the first MG and the second MG and communicate with the engine ECU. When an abnormality of communication with the engine ECU is not found and a history of an abnormality of the engine main body is not found and electric power generated by the first MG during cranking of the engine is lower than electric power receivable by the battery during MD (Motor Drive) running (fail-safe running) in which the engine is stopped, the hybrid ECU achieves recovery to normal running in which actuation of the engine is permitted, with cranking of the engine by power generation torque of the first MG.
