With this control, consumption energy during the vehicle stop can be reduced.

Abstract: An automatic transmission control device implements a downshift by disengagement of a clutch that is engaged in a gear position before the downshift. It is determined whether an engine state is in a predetermined region in which a change of an engine torque per a change of an accelerator pedal opening is smaller than that in another region, and the engine torque is within a predetermined range, and an engine rotational speed is within a predetermined range. It is determined whether an operating state is in a predetermined state of accelerator operation in which the accelerator pedal opening is larger than a predetermined value, and an accelerator pedal opening change rate has an absolute value smaller than a predetermined value. The downshift is inhibited in response to determination that the engine state is in the predetermined region and the operating state is in the predetermined state of accelerator operation.

With this, ratio coverage can be expanded.

Abstract: A vehicle control device calculates a target line pressure based on an instructed torque capacity of a friction engaging element and a belt capacity when the friction engaging element is determined as not engaging. Belt capacity is calculated using an input torque of a continuously variable transmission mechanism. The device calculates torque down in a driving source based on an upper limit line pressure when the calculated target line pressure exceeds such line pressure. A limit torque capacity of the friction engaging element is calculated using the input torque and a belt capacity when the friction engaging element is determined as not engaging. The belt capacity is calculated using an actual line pressure. The device restrains a slip between pulleys and a power transmitting member using the target line pressure, the torque down, and the limit torque capacity when the friction engaging element is determined as not engaging.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission (100), wherein pressure equalization control is performed to make line pressure (PL) equal to secondary pressure (Psec) when prescribed start conditions are satisfied. During pressure equalization control, a secondary pressure indicated value (Psec_co) is raised by a prescribed amount (S10), then a line pressure indicated value (PL_co) is gradually decreased (S30). If determination is made that line pressure is the same as the secondary pressure after secondary actual pressure (Psec) is lowered (S40), then the line pressure is controlled so that the secondary actual pressure (Psec) becomes the secondary pressure indicated value (Psec_co) (S50). At the start of pressure equalization control, if the difference (?Psec) found by subtracting the secondary pressure indicated value from the secondary actual value is negative (S120), then a primary pressure indicated value is corrected on the basis of the difference (S130).
