Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and a system for improving operation of a hybrid vehicle are presented. In one example, a disconnect clutch is operated in response to an engine stop request to adjust an engine stopping position during an engine shutdown. The approach may reduce engine starting time after the engine stop.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for stopping an engine, comprising: adjusting a disconnect clutch application force in response to an engine stop request, and further adjusting a disconnect clutch slip to stop the engine at a desired position; and adjusting a driveline integrated starter/generator (DISG) torque output in response to an amount of torque transferred across a dual mass flywheel. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising substantiall…
