A controller (3, 40) for controlling a vehicle having a bi-wire range selector (10) for selecting a range of an automatic transmission (2) by means of an actuator (60). If a range selection failure occurs while a range selection of a specific pattern (for example, R?D or D?R) to reverse the present direction of the driving force is carried out, the motion of the vehicle can be diminished as much as possible or prevented. The controller (3, 40) comprises countermeasure means (steps S1, S5) for lowering the output produced by a drive source (1) toward the lower limit when the controller (3, 40) recognizes that the request to select a forward range or a reverse range is of a specific pattern and performing means (steps S2, S4, S6) for controlling the range selector (10) to establish the requested range. |
