    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a vehicle drivetrain assembly operable in a first mode and a second mode. The vehicle drivetrain assembly comprises: a drive unit arranged to generate power to drive a vehicle (1); an automatic transmission comprising a torque converter and operatively coupled to the drive unit to receive the power; and a control system comprising one or more controllers (11), the control system being arranged to adjustably limit the maximum torque delivered to the transmission from the drive unit. When the automatic transmission is in first gear with the torque converter stalled, the control system limits the maximum torque to a first level when the vehicle drivetrain assembly is in the first mode and to a second level when the vehicle drivetrain assembly is in the second mode, the first level being lower than the second level.

    Abstract: An oil temperature estimation apparatus that estimates an oil temperature of a driving system of a vehicle includes a vehicle speed sensor, a saturated oil temperature acquirer, an oil temperature deviation acquirer, an oil temperature feedback value acquirer, and an estimated oil temperature acquirer. The saturated oil temperature acquirer acquires a saturated oil temperature in a running state of the vehicle at least including a vehicle speed based on the running state. The oil temperature deviation acquirer acquires an oil temperature deviation between the saturated oil temperature and an estimated oil temperature previous value. The oil temperature feedback value acquirer acquires an oil temperature feedback value based on the oil temperature deviation and the vehicle speed. The estimated oil temperature acquirer acquires an estimated oil temperature current value based on the estimated oil temperature previous value and the oil temperature feedback value.

    Abstract: A control apparatus of an automatic transmission connected to an internal combustion engine of a vehicle includes a determination unit configured to determine an operation state of a hydraulic oil temperature sensor based on comparison between a threshold and a difference between a hydraulic oil temperature of the automatic transmission and a cooling water temperature of the internal combustion engine. When the operation state of the hydraulic oil temperature sensor is determined as normal by the comparison with the threshold, the determination unit further determines the operation state of the hydraulic oil temperature sensor based on an operation state of an oil pressure sensor determined using the hydraulic oil temperature, an oil pressure of hydraulic oil, and a rotation speed.

    Abstract: An ECU estimates the temperatures of the heat generating portions provided in a drive force transmission system, or a transaxle, a rear differential, and a torque coupling, in correspondence with not only the rotational speed (the differential rotational speed) of each heat generating portion and the torque transmission rate of the torque coupling but also the outside temperature detected by an outside temperature sensor. If the estimated temperature of any of the heat generating portions exceeds a respective predetermined temperature, the ECU controls operation of the torque coupling to suppress overheating of the heat generating portion. That is, the temperature of each heat generating portion is accurately detected through a simplified structure and overheating of the heat generating portion is effectively suppressed.

    Abstract: A method is provided for increasing a temperature of oil in a continuously variable transmission during engine start-up, the transmission including a fluid pump and motor, and a mechanical transmission. The method includes starting the engine, maintaining the fluid pump at substantially zero displacement, and heating the transmission oil by relative rotation of a first clutch disc and first clutch hub of a first clutch assembly and by relative rotation of a second clutch disc and second clutch hub of a second clutch assembly. The method further includes maintaining a substantially zero net torque from the transmission during the heating of the oil by the first and second clutch assemblies.

    Abstract: In a hybrid vehicle incorporating an internal combustion engine having an in-cylinder injector and a motor, when the temperature of the in-cylinder injector rises, if a current engine operation point is inside a prescribed intermediate load range (deposit risk range) where the temperature of the in-cylinder injector tends to rise, an engine load is increased or reduced while an engine speed is maintained, to thereby change the engine operation point to an engine operation point inside a low load range or to an engine point inside a high load range. A reduction or an increase in the engine output associated with the change of the engine operation point is compensated for by increasing or reducing the output of the motor. Thus, deposit accumulation in the in-cylinder injector is avoided.
