PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to start an engine using a small low-cost starter in a hybrid vehicle that has the engine and a motor as driving force. SOLUTION: Generally, a mode 9 is so implemented that an engine is cranked using an electric motor (SA4). If the battery has a capacity not enough for the electric motor, a fail in motor is caused or a cranking time by the electric motor is over a given time T1 , the engine is cranked by a starter (SA5). In addition to this method, the engine may be cranked basically and then the cranking force may be assisted by the electric motor. |
