A unified electronic shift lever may include a first selection unit installed on a dashboard of a vehicle, and on which various selectable options including a gear shift option of the vehicle are indicated, a second selection unit installed on an upper portion of the first selection unit, and on which sub-options of the various selectable options selected at the first selection unit are indicated, a display unit disposed on an upper portion of the second selection unit and displaying options selected at the first selection unit and the second selection unit, and a control unit disposed below the dashboard, identifying operations of the first selection unit and the second selection unit to control various types of options of the vehicle, and changing indication on the second selection unit and the display unit.

The present disclosure provides a device for selecting a desired switch position out of a plurality of switch positions, and a switch position depends on a position of at least one locking bolt relative to a snap-in cam, with a support member for a control element. The support member is arranged below a user interface and rotatable around a shaft relative to the locking bolt. The snap-in cam is designed in the support member, and a Maltese cross transmission structure is formed in the support member. A drive device is in engagement with the Maltese cross transmission structure so as to rotate the support member with the snap-in cam around the shaft relative to the locking bolt depending on the desired switch position.

An actuator unit that drives a switching mechanism for a shift range of an automatic transmission is provided. The actuator unit includes a motor that generates a drive force for driving the switching mechanism, a control substrate that controls the motor, a connector that connects a wire to the control substrate, a housing that includes an opening, a cover that covers the opening, and a shock absorption material that includes a first shock absorption material and a second shock absorption material. The motor and the control substrate are positioned in a housing space defined by the housing and the cover. The control substrate is fixed to the housing. The first shock absorption material and the second shock absorption material are positioned between the control substrate and the cover, and contacts both the control substrate and the cover.

An electronic control system for a motor vehicle comprising an automatic transmission operable to assume different operating modes, comprising a reverse mode, a neutral mode, a park mode, a drive mode and a manual mode, in response to a manual operation of a selector with at least one control switch and mounted to assume a stable central neutral position when the selector is not operated, and to be movable in opposite selection directions from the stable central neutral position to reach two instable end-of-travel selection positions arranged on opposite sides of the stable central neutral position. The automotive electronic control system is configured to detect operation of the selector and of the control switch and cause the transmission to switch from drive mode to reverse mode in response to operation of the selector in a first selection direction and with the control switch pressed, and from reverse mode to drive mode in response to operation of the selector in a second selection direction opposite to the first selection direction and with the control switch pressed.

A shift device includes: a shift switching member including a plurality of valley portions corresponding to shift positions; a motor that includes a rotor and a stator and that is configured to drive the shift switching member; and a positioning member configured to establish the shift positions in a state in which the positioning member is fitted into any one of the plurality of valley portions of the shift switching member. The shift device is configured to learn the shift positions based on a change amount of a load torque applied to the motor while the positioning member is moved to continuously pass through the plurality of valley portions.

A shift device includes: a shift switching member including valley portions corresponding to shift positions; a motor including a rotor and a stator and configured to drive the shift switching member; a first drive system including a first control unit configured to control a voltage for driving the motor; a second drive system provided separately from the first drive system and including a second control unit configured to control a voltage for driving the motor; and a positioning member configured to establish the shift positions in a state in which the positioning member is fitted into any one of the valley portions of the shift switching member. The shift device acquires the shift positions when the motor is driven by the voltage output from one of the first and second drive systems to move the positioning member such that the positioning member continuously passes through the valley portions.
