Patent ID: 7044015

Claim:
A control apparatus of an automatic transmission with a manual mode comprising: a mode change switch which commands change of an automatic shift mode and the manual mode; a manual shift command switch which commands an up-shift or a down-shift; and a control circuit which controls a shift operation of the automatic transmission based upon the up-shift command or the down-shift command from the manual shift command switch when the manual mode is commanded by the mode change switch, wherein the mode change switch further includes a switch with a normal-closed contact point and a normal-open contact point, the mode change switch outputting as a manual mode signal an output from the normal-open contact point to the control circuit in operating the mode change switch, while an output from the normal-closed contact point is outputted to an input side of the manual shift command switch in non-operating of the mode change switch, and the manual shift command switch includes a switch with a normal-open contact point for each of the up-shift and the down-shift and with a normal-closed contact point for each thereof, wherein an up-shift signal which commands the up-shift or a down-shift signal which commands the down-shift in operating the manual shift command switch is outputted to the control circuit from the normal-open contact point, and a monitor signal is outputted to the control circuit from the normal-closed contact point in non-operating of the manual shift command switch.
