  • Method for determining a kiss point of a clutch
    Patent number: 11732766
    Abstract: Method for determining a kisspoint of a clutch. A method is provided of determining a kisspoint of a clutch in a driveline of a vehicle comprising a. increasing a target clutch pressure of a clutch piston up to a first predetermined test target pressure, b. increasing the target clutch pressure up to an upper target pressure and subsequently keeping the target clutch pressure stable for a predetermined time interval, c. monitoring a parameter indicative for the filling of the clutch piston, e.g. the rotational speed of a pump, during the predetermined time interval, d. repeating steps a., b., and c. for at least one further predetermined test target pressure, and e. determining the kisspoint based on the monitored parameter indicative for the filling of the clutch piston.
