Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for managing torque transmitting mechanism actuator output pressure under low supply pressure conditions is provided. The method is executable to control engagement of a torque transmitting mechanism during such conditions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electronic control for a vehicle transmission, embodied in a computer-accessible storage medium, for managing fluid pressure provided to a torque transmitting mechanism, comprising: a shift scheduler configured to initiate a shift of a vehicle transmission from a first operational mode to a second operational mode, a torque transmitting mechanism control configured to receive a shift command from the shift scheduler and issue a first pressure comm…
