ABSTRACT:
To provide a deceleration controlling apparatus for an automotive vehicle, which may perform a deceleration control that is effective in a breakdown of a throttle valve kept opened, without increasing a cost, the deceleration controlling apparatus for an automotive vehicle, includes: an engine, an accelerator pedal and a brake system which are mounted on the vehicle; an automatic transmission connected to the engine; a throttle valve for adjusting an amount of intake air of the engine; an accelerator opening degree sensor for detecting an opening degree of the accelerator pedal to output an accelerator opening degree signal; a throttle valve controlling unit for electrically controlling an opening degree of the throttle valve in response to the accelerator opening degree signal; a throttle opening degree sensor for detecting an opening degree of the throttle valve to output a throttle opening degree signal; a throttle-open breakdown detecting unit S3 for detecting a breakdown of throttle-open of the throttle valve; a deceleration condition detecting unit S5 for detecting a deceleration condition of the vehicle; and a speed-change pattern changing unit S7 for changing a speed-change pattern of the automatic transmission on a low gear side when the breakdown of throttle-open and the deceleration condition are detected.
