ABSTRACT:
An automatic transmission control system for a vehicle, including a throttle valve-opening detector and an electronic controller. The throttle valve-opening detector includes a detection arm mounted either on the accelerator pedal arm or the like rotary member of the accelerator operating system for controlling the opening of the throttle valve, or on the body of the vehicle pivotally supporting the rotary member. A position detector is mounted on the other of the rotary member and the vehicle body and equipped with a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element which face each other across both side surfaces of a shutter portion formed at an end portion of the detection arm. The light-receiving element is sensitive to an optical beam emitted from the light-emitting element and generates an electric signal. An aperture is further formed in the shutter portion so as to be movable into and out of the gap between the light-emitting and -receiving elements at predetermined rotational positions of the rotary member. The electronic controller is interposed between the throttle valve-opening detector and the like detectors and a variety of operating devices for the automatic transmission for the purpose of processing output signals from the throttle valve-opening detector and the other detectors to control the operating devices.
