Abstract: A method for limiting the amount of torque biased to a high mu wheel of a vehicle comprises processing clutch torque data to determine an electronic limited slip differential clutch torque limit, processing wheel speed data to generate mu slip data, comparing the generated mu slip data to threshold mu slip data. When the generated mu slip data is greater than the threshold mu slip data, the method comprises reducing the electronic limited slip differential clutch torque limit by a predetermined ratio.

Abstract: The invention relates to switching between 2WD and 4WD of a vehicle. It is suggested to increase output power of an engine (106) when changing to 4WD. An AWD coupling (120) is opened, if not already open. To provide 4WD, a PTU clutch (108) is engaged once engine power has increased. The other couplers are sequentially engaged.

Abstract: A method for controlling clutch pressure in an electronically controlled limited slip differential comprises receiving a target clutch pressure command indicative of a desired differential torque transfer setting. Processing the target clutch pressure command comprises estimating one of a motor current or a motor speed, calculating an integrated error of a target motor current or an integrated error of a target motor speed, calculating gains over time based on the estimated motor current or the estimated motor speed and based on the integrated error of the target motor current or the integrated error of the target motor speed, applying the calculated gains thereby forming a closed loop feedback, and calculating an oscillation. The target motor current or the target motor speed is applied to a motor connected to a clutch in the differential according to the calculated oscillation to control the clutch pressure of the differential.

Abstract: A clutch system comprises a hydraulic control circuit for controlling a hydraulic system. The hydraulic control circuit comprises processor-executable control instructions to perform a method for controlling hydraulic pressure. The method comprises receiving a target hydraulic pressure. The method generates and outputs pressure control valve commands based on a detected current hydraulic pressure, a detected temperature, and the target hydraulic pressure by implementing proportional integral derivative (PID) calculations and sliding mode calculations while carrying out a closed loop pressure control. The method converts the target hydraulic pressure into motor speed control commands and into motor direct current commands by implementing a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) calculation while carrying out a closed loop speed control. The method controls the electric motor using the motor direct current commands. And, the method controls the pressure control valve by using the pressure control valve commands.
