The present invention relates to a position learning system for an electric shift-by-wire system, which senses changes in the load of a motor according to operations of a four-stage detent plate and a detent spring to learn positions of shift stages of the electric shift-by-wire system, the position learning system including: a sensor for sensing the current generated from the motor; and a controller for receiving current data until a shift stage P is switched to a shift stage D or the shift stage D is switched to the shift stage P from the sensor, learning positions of shift stages R and N through the received current data, and performing offset operations on the basis of the learned positions of the shift stages R and N to learn positions of the shift stages P and D.

A method for training an automatic gear unit of a two-wheeled vehicle and/or a device, as well as a two-wheeled vehicle having such a device modifies an existing characteristic map for the control of the gear unit based on the individual user information. Optionally, it is also possible to set up a characteristic map for the control of the gear unit with the aid of the method in that the user information is recorded during gear-change operations and utilized for further automatic gear-change operations.

A method for automatically controlling a shift stage may include a shift stage check operation of detecting a position of the shift stage of a vehicle, a driving and stopping sensing operation, of detecting driving state information of the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is in a driving or a stopping condition, a learning preparing operation, of identifying whether the shift stage is shifted from a D stage to an N stage when it is determined that the shift stage enters the stopping condition at the D stage, a learning operation, of measuring a shifting time from when the shift stage enters the stopping condition at the D stage to when the shift stage is shifted to the N stage, and a learning execution operation, of automatically shifting the shift stage from the D stage to the N stage in the stored shifting time.

A device for switching an automatic transmission range includes an actuator, a detent mechanism driven by the actuator and engageable with concave portions, and a control unit. The control unit sets first and second positions of the detent mechanism as first and second target values for positions corresponding to first and second transmission ranges. The first position is detected when the detent mechanism is driven to a limit position, is driven by a first predetermined amount, moves toward a valley of a first concave portion without being driven by the actuator, and then stops naturally. The second position is detected when the detent mechanism is driven by a second predetermined amount to move away from the first target value, move toward a valley of a second concave portion without being driven by the actuator, and then stop naturally.
