ENGINE CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD, ENGINE STARTING DEVICE, AND VEHICLE

摘要

In a vehicle including a starter for starting an engine, capable of controlling an actuator for an engagement operation of a pinion gear and a motor for rotating the pinion gear individually, an ECU drives the actuator when the rotational speed NE of the engine becomes lower than a reference rotational speed NEston, and drives the motor when a predetermined period has elapsed since the driving of the actuator is initiated. When the rotational speed exceeds reference rotational speed again during the predetermined period, the ECU delays the driving of the motor until the rotational speed becomes lower than reference rotational speed again, and a predetermined period has elapsed.
