A device (1) for actuating a parking lock device (2) of an automatic transmission includes a piston (3) guided in a cylinder (5) and hydraulically displaceable counter to a spring force of an actuation spring (4). The piston (3) is form-lockingly fixable in a first position and in a second position by radially displaceable blocking elements (26) of a blocking device (15). The blocking elements (26) are radially displaceable by an actuation element (17). The radial displacement path of the blocking elements (26) and an operating condition of the actuation element (17) corresponding thereto in the first position of the piston (3) deviate from the radial displacement path of the blocking elements (26) and the operating condition of the actuation element (17) corresponding thereto in the second position of the piston (3).

A shift range control device includes a plurality of control units provided for each of motor windings. When a motor rotation angle sensor is normal, a drive control unit controls an energization of the motor winding of its own system by using a motor rotation angle signal. When the motor rotation angle sensor has an abnormality and it is determined that an output shaft is rotating before a standby time elapses, the drive control unit does not energize the motor winding of its own system. When it is determined that the output shaft is not rotating even after the standby time has elapsed, the drive control unit controls the energization of the motor winding of its own system without using the motor rotation angle signal.

A method for operating a motor vehicle with a prime mover (1), a transmission (2), a driven end (14), and a parking lock system (19) is provided. A shift element (9) of the transmission (2) and a parking lock actuator (21) of the parking lock system (19) utilize a common pressure control. When the shift element (9) is actuated with the aid of a pressure control effecting an at least partial engagement of the shift element (9) and when the pressure control is less than a limiting value for holding the parking lock system (19) in the disengaged position, the method includes monitoring a parking lock sensor (23) to determine whether the parking lock sensor (23) detects a movement of the parking lock actuator (21) or a signal corresponding to the movement of the parking lock actuator (21) despite a parking lock detent (22) having been actuated for locking.

A transmission system for a vehicle comprises a first partial transmission (T1) with a first controllable clutch (C1) and a second partial transmission (T2) with a second controllable clutch (C2) each forming a respective transmission path between an input (ci; ci1, ci2) and a common output (to), the first and the second controllable clutch (C1, C2) having a first and a second actuating means (CA1,CA2) respectively, to control an operational state of said controllable clutches. A controller (CNTR) is provided to control the first and the second actuating means, the controller being configured to selectively assume one of a plurality of control modes. These include amongst others a safety control mode which is selected upon detecting that a value of an acceleration of the vehicle is lower than a negative threshold value.

A working fluid supply device is provided with: a first oil pump and a second oil pump driven by an engine; a third oil pump driven by an electric motor; a first unloading valve configured to shift the second oil pump to a no-load operation state; and a controller configured to control a supply state of working oil to an automatic transmission. The controller sets the supply state to a supply state selected from: a first supply state in which the working oil is supplied only from the first oil pump; a second supply state in which the working oil is supplied from the first oil pump and the third oil pump; a third supply state in which the working oil is supplied from the first oil pump and the second oil pump; and a fourth supply state in which the working oil is supplied from the first oil pump, the second oil pump, and the third oil pump.

A shift range device switches a shift position. The shift range device includes a motor and an energizing unit. The motor functions as a power source for switching the shift position. The energizing unit energizes the motor. The shift range device monitors an abnormal state in which a magnetic field that causes a rotation of a rotor of the motor not to start or a holding magnetic field that stops the rotation generated in the rotor is incapable to be acquired.

A brake-shift integrated system for wire-controlled vehicles based on machine-hydraulic compound and a control method thereof are provided. The brake-shift integrated system includes a shift module, a brake-by-wire module, a power distribution module and a control assembly module. The shift module includes a shift booster sub-module and a shift actuator sub-module. The shift booster sub-module is used to store and reuse the braking force to assist the shift. The shift actuator sub-module is used to implement mechanical automatic gearshift. The brake-by-wire module is used to implement the brake-by-wire process. The power distribution module is used for motor torque distribution. The control assembly module reads the shift signal, brake signal and current signal from each motor controller to control the operation of the shift motor and brake motor, the locking and releasing of the brake and the opening and closing of the solenoid valve.

The control device is configured to supply an offset current value to disengagement solenoids of disengagement-side friction engaging elements among a plurality of shift solenoids that control respective shift oil pressures applied to the plurality of friction engaging elements, and when a current gear position is a first speed position or a reverse position, decrease a current value to be supplied to at least one of the disengagement solenoids that are supplied with the offset current value to be lower than the offset current value.
