Systems and methods for operating a transmission of a hybrid vehicle's driveline are presented. In one example, the systems and methods adjust operation of an electrically driven transmission pump that supplies transmission fluid to one or more transmission components in response to a rotational stopping position of a mechanically drive transmission pump.

A vehicle makes a notification to prompt a driver to perform a predetermined operation in a case in which a predetermined function of the vehicle is lost, and starts a recovery operation of the function on condition that the predetermined operation is performed.

A control apparatus for a linear solenoid valve configured to regulate a hydraulic pressure in a vehicle transmission. The control apparatus includes a hydraulic control portion configured to output a control command signal that is applied to a solenoid of the linear solenoid valve. The hydraulic control portion outputs, as the control command signal, a regulating control command signal by which the hydraulic pressure is to be regulated to a regulated pressure value that is dependent on a vehicle driving state. When the regulated pressure value is in a certain pressure range in which vibration-based noise is likely to be generated by vibration of the linear solenoid valve that is operated with the regulating control command signal being applied to the solenoid, the hydraulic control portion outputs, as the control command signal, a noise-restraining command signal by which generation of the vibration-based noise is restrained.

An automated manual transmission (AMT) shift shock reduction control method may include a compressor delay control that is configured to keep an operation of a compressor as a non-operation state until a delay time is reached during a shift control, when an air conditioner signal and a shift signal are detected by an Engine Management System (EMS).

A method of operating a powertrain system during coasting operation, wherein the powertrain system includes a driveline component (e.g., a transmission, drive shaft, differential, axle or wheel) having an output torque profile. The method includes: (i) determining a desired output torque transition profile for the driveline component between a first transition point before an end of a first state, and a second transition point after a beginning of a second state; and (ii) in response to a braking torque request, generating a friction braking torque command to operate a friction braking system, and adjusting the friction braking torque command during a transitional state between the first and second transition points by an amount corresponding to a difference between a magnitude of the output torque profile and a magnitude of the desired output torque transition profile.

A backup power supply system for a shift-by-wire system includes a power storage unit and a control unit. Power storage unit supplies power to a shift-by-wire system. When at least one of a first condition or a second condition is satisfied, control unit outputs an instruction signal, instructing that a shift range of an automatic transmission should be changed into a parking range, to shift-by-wire system. First condition requires that the duration for which output voltage of the mains power supply remains equal to or less than a first voltage threshold value should be longer than a first duration. Second condition requires that the duration for which the output voltage of the mains power supply remains equal to or less than a second voltage threshold value, smaller than the first voltage threshold value, should be longer than a second duration which is shorter than the first duration.
