A sensor arrangement detects an angle of an actuator which is rotationally arranged on a support. The arrangement includes a first sensor element and a second sensor element. The first sensor element can be coupled to the actuator in order carry out a movement with respect to the support in accordance with a rotation of the actuator. The second sensor element can be rotationally fixed on the support and can be coupled to the first sensor element in order to produce, when rotating the actuator and a thus resulting movement between the first sensor element and the second sensor element, a sensor signal which is dependent on the rotation carried out by the actuator.

A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. An integrated actuator housing includes a single external power access for the shift actuator. A controller interprets a shaft displacement angle, determines if the transmission is in an imminent zero or zero torque region, and performs a transmission operation in response to the transmission in the imminent zero or zero torque region.

A shift range control device switches a shift range by controlling driving of a motor. A learning unit learns, as a position correction value, a normal state time correction value calculated based on first and/or second reference angles when an output shaft signal is available when turning on of a start switch. The first reference angle is a motor angle when the output shaft signal changes in response to the rotation of the motor in a first direction. The second reference angle is the motor angle when the output shaft signal changes in response to the motor rotation in a second direction opposite to the first direction. A motor angle target value is set by using the normal state time correction value stored during a period from when all the output shaft signals are determined to be unavailable to when the start switch is turned off.

Disclosed is a method of diagnosing a malfunction in a dual clutch transmission (DCT) attributable to a gear synchromesh failure, without an output shaft speed sensor. The method includes: calculating, a difference (referred to as a first difference) between a first input shaft speed and the product of a wheel speed and a first gear ratio; a difference (referred to as a second difference) between a second input shaft speed and the product of a wheel speed and a second gear ratio; diagnosing a first input shaft as having a transmission gear synchromesh failure when the first difference is greater than a first reference value and the second difference is equal to or smaller than a second reference value; and performing control such that a gear shifting operation is performed using only a second input shaft when the first input shaft is diagnosed as having a transmission gear synchromesh failure.

Systems and methods are provided for controlling a transmission associated with a vehicle. The method includes receiving a neutral range selection for the transmission, and receiving a temperature and a pressure of a lubricant associated with the transmission. The method includes receiving a speed of an input shaft associated with the transmission, and determining, by a processor, based on the temperature and the speed of the input shaft, a pressure threshold value for the lubricant. The method includes outputting, by the processor, one or more control signals to command the transmission to a one clutch neutral state in which one clutch of a plurality of clutches associated with the transmission is engaged based on a comparison of the pressure threshold value to the pressure of the lubricant.

In some implementations, a controller may cause a gearbox coupled to a rotor to shift between a first gear ratio and a second gear ratio one or more times. The controller may obtain a first set of position data that identifies respective first positions of a gear selector of the gearbox for each shift to the first gear ratio, and a second set of position data that identifies respective second positions of the gear selector of the gearbox for each shift to the second gear ratio. The controller may determine a first calibrated position of the gear selector for a shift to the first gear ratio based on the first set of position data and a second calibrated position of the gear selector for a shift to the second gear ratio based on the second set of position data.

A vehicular driving control system and a method for operating the same are provided, may include an information provider to provide information on a front road of a vehicle, a transmission controller to control gear shifting by predicting a condition on the front road based on the information on the front road, and a diagnosing device to diagnose a failure status by verifying matching with the information on the front road, and to restrict a predictive gear-shifting controlling operation of the transmission controller, according to a result of the diagnosing.

A transmission includes a shift drum, an angular sensor, and a control unit. The control unit has reference values of the output values at a first rotation angle and a second rotation angle of the shift drum. The control unit is configured to obtain the output values at the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle as a first output value and a second output value, respectively. The control unit is configured to correct the output value output between the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle based on a difference between the first output value and the reference value at the first rotation angle and a difference between the second output value and the reference value at the second rotation angle.

An electric actuator includes a motor, an output shaft, a detent plate, an elastic portion including a contacted portion, a first rotation sensor, a second rotation sensor, and a controller. In a case where an abnormality has occurred in the second rotation sensor, the controller executes causing the motor to rotate to cause the contacted portion to abut a first side wall portion located on one end side in the circumferential direction of a first valley portion in the detent plate, acquiring the first rotation angle when the contacted portion abuts on the first side wall portion, reversely rotating the motor to an angle, and determining that the contacted portion is stationary at the parking position.

The motor vehicle is configured to recognize a shift position in response to the user's shift operation of a shift lever and to control a driving system, based on the shift position and the user's accelerator operation, brake operation and steering operation. On occurrence of a predetermined abnormality that causes a failure in recognizing the shift position, the motor vehicle sets an abnormality-time shift position based on vehicle peripheral information and notifies the abnormality-time shift position. When a moving direction is set by a moving direction setting unit that is provided separately from the shift lever and that allows the user to set the moving direction, the motor vehicle resets the abnormality-time shift position based on the moving direction, and controls the driving system, based on the abnormality-time shift position, the brake operation and the steering operation.
