A hydraulic pump is driven by an engine. A hydraulic motor is driven by hydraulic fluid discharged from the hydraulic pump thereby causing a vehicle to travel. A controller controls a rotation speed of the engine and a displacement of the hydraulic pump. The controller acquires a tractive force of the vehicle. The controller changes the rotation speed of the engine to a low speed side in accordance with a reduction in the tractive force.

Hydraulic pump failure detection for transmission with normally engaged clutch

A method of detecting a failure of a hydraulic pump includes sensing a rotational speed of the engine, and a rotational speed of a rotating drivetrain component. A numerical difference between the rotational speed of the engine and the rotational speed of the rotating drivetrain component is calculated. The numerical difference is compared to a threshold value to determine if the numerical difference is less than the threshold value, or is equal to or greater than the threshold value. A failure of the hydraulic pump is identified when the numerical difference between the rotational speed of the engine and the rotational speed of the rotating drivetrain component is equal to or greater than the threshold value, and the transmission is positioned in the neutral gear mode. When a failure of the hydraulic pump is identified, the operation of the engine is stopped.
