    摘要: An automatic transmission is provided with a frictional engagement member that is operated by hydraulic pressure for shifting the automatic transmission, and includes an air vent opening. An automatic transmission controller includes a pressure regulator and a control section. The pressure regulator regulates the hydraulic pressure in response to a hydraulic pressure control signal. The control section performs an air vent operation of venting air from the frictional engagement member through the air vent opening. The air vent operation includes: a preliminary operation of setting the hydraulic pressure control signal to a preliminary pulse indicative of a preliminary value of pressure, wherein the preliminary value is lower than a normal value of pressure; and a normal operation of setting the hydraulic pressure control signal to a normal pulse indicative of the normal value, wherein the normal pulse follows the preliminary pulse.
