Abstract: A device for controlling an automatic transmission including a first frictional engagement element that is engaged at a first gear shift stage and is released at a second gear shift stage, the device including a piston stroke return determination means for determining a released state of a piston that is actuated to press friction discs of the first frictional engagement element, and a gear shift start determination means for restricting execution of a gear shift from the second gear shift stage to the first gear shift stage until it is determined that the piston is in a predetermined released state after a gear shift from the first gear shift stage to the second gear shift stage is finished.

Abstract: Under a specified condition where a torque converter is kept in a lockup state to prolong the fuel-cutoff time, because of vehicle coasting with an accelerator opening APO=0, a downshift command is generated and then an automatic transmission causes a reengagement downshift by a drop in a release-side clutch hydraulic pressure Poff and a rise in an engagement-side clutch hydraulic pressure Pon. During the reengagement downshift, the engagement-side clutch hydraulic pressure Pon is reduced from a high lockup-ON hydraulic pressure to a low lockup-OFF hydraulic pressure after the time when the lockup is predicted to be released, thus preventing a torque drawing-in tendency of transmission output torque, which may occur at the time of the beginning of the inertia phase, from increasing, and also reducing in the width of a subsequent change in vehicle deceleration G, and consequently enhancing the shift quality.
