Abstract
Methods and systems for operating a clutch of an axle are provided. In one example, the clutch may be characterized in static or dynamic conditions. The clutch characterization may be a basis for subsequently operating the clutch during gearbox shifting. In particular, an amount of torque that is transferred via the clutch may be controlled or adjusted according to the clutch characterization.
Claims6
A method for operating a vehicle powertrain, comprising:
- adjusting a relationship between a clutch actuator position and a torque capacity of a clutch in response to an amount of torque generated via an electric machine being greater than a threshold;
- and
- operating the clutch according to the relationship.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
