Method of controlling a selectable one way lutch of a transmission

A method of controlling a selectable one way clutch for a shaft of a transmission of a hybrid vehicle, the method comprising:

• determining if the selectable one way clutch is currently engaged to couple a shaft of the transmission to a housing of the transmission, or if the selectable one way clutch is currently not engaged to allow rotation of the shaft relative to the housing;
• determining if wheel torque of at least one wheel of the hybrid vehicle is currently being actively managed by at least one of an anti-lock brake system, a vehicle stability enhancement system, or a traction control system;
• disengaging the selectable one way clutch to release the shaft from the housing and allow rotation of the shaft relative to the housing when wheel torque of at least one wheel of the hybrid vehicle is currently being actively managed by at least one of the anti-lock brake system, or the vehicle stability enhancement system;
• and
• disengaging the selectable one way clutch to release the shaft from the housing and allow rotation of the shaft relative to the housing when wheel torque of at least one wheel of the hybrid vehicle is currently being actively managed by the fraction control system, and an absolute value of an actual wheel slip of at least one wheel of the hybrid vehicle is greater than a slip threshold value.
