An abnormality determination device and an abnormality determination
method of a vehicle that includes a stepped type automatic transmission
capable of forming a plurality of speed change steps are provided. The
presence/absence of an abnormality of an element related to formation of
a predetermined speed change step is determined in a state of the vehicle
where the predetermined speed change step is formed. Information about
the abnormality determined to be present is then stored. If the
information about the abnormality is stored when the vehicle is to newly
start to run, the predetermined speed change step where the abnormality
stored occurred is established, and the presence/absence of the
abnormality of the element related to the formation of the predetermined
speed change step is re-determined.
