Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An automatic transmission includes engagement mechanisms whose engagement states among the engagement mechanisms are changeable to achieve each of shift stages of the automatic transmission, a detector, and a determination device. The detector is configured to detect the engagement states of the engagement mechanisms. The determination device is configured to determine that abnormality has occurred in a case where the engagement states detected by the detector do not match a predetermined engagement state.
