Abstract:
1. A vehicle, comprising: an internal combustion engine; a power storage device; a rotating electric machine for receiving supply of power from said power storage device and starting up said internal combustion engine; a detection unit for detecting a state of said power storage device; and a control unit programmed to execute a deterioration diagnosis process for diagnosing whether said power storage device has deteriorated or not based on the state of said power storage device, when a prescribed condition is satisfied, wherein said control unit suppresses startup of said internal combustion engine when a condition for starting up said internal combustion engine is satisfied before said deterioration diagnosis process is completed, said prescribed condition includes the condition that a voltage of said power storage device is larger than a threshold value, said control unit executes said deterioration diagnosis process when the voltage of said power storage device is larger than said threshold value, and said control unit executes said deterioration diagnosis process after starting said internal combustion engine and charging said power storage device when the voltage of said power storage device is smaller than said threshold value.
