  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND CORRECTING ENGINE SPEED CONTROLLER SATURATION
    Publication number: 20230365118
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a hybrid vehicle having an internal combustion engine are presented. In one example, the internal combustion engine is operated in a speed control mode and torque of an electric machine is adjusted so that a possibility of an engine speed controller saturating may be reduced.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPLETING A NEUTRAL PROFILE LEARNING TEST
    Publication number: 20230294710
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a hybrid vehicle during an end of assembly line test are presented. In one example, torque of an integrated starter/generator (ISG) is adjusted so that the ISG may not affect engine data that is collected during end of assembly line engine testing. The collected engine data may be a basis for adapting engine operation.

  • System and method for engine starting in a hybrid vehicle based on engine stop position
    Patent number: 10023177
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling engine starting in a hybrid vehicle having an engine, a first electric machine selectively coupled to the engine by a first clutch, a second electric machine coupled to the engine, a step-ratio transmission selectively coupled to the electric machine by a second clutch include starting the engine using either the first electric machine or the second electric machine based on engine stop position. The first electric machine may be a low voltage starter motor or integrated starter-generator. The system and method may use the first electric machine when the engine stop position is within a specified range of positions relative to a piston top dead center position associated with higher cranking torques.
