  • Patent number: 10753467
    Abstract: In a transmission control device, a controller determines failure of one of a variator input side rotation sensor and a variator output side rotation sensor. A hydraulic control circuit and the controller variably control line pressure, and in a case where the failure is determined, fix the line pressure to a predetermined value or more. The hydraulic control circuit and the controller variably control a speed ratio of a variator by a double pressure regulation method, and in a case where the failure is determined, variably control the speed ratio of the variator by a single pressure regulation method.

  • Patent number: 10753466
    Abstract: In a transmission control device for controlling a transmission, a controller determines failure of a specific section. The controller variably controls line command pressure and secondary command pressure, and in a case where the failure is determined, fixes the line command pressure to a line pressure set value and the secondary command pressure to a secondary pressure set value. In a case where the failure is determined, the controller further starts a change in the secondary command pressure after start of a change in the line command pressure, and controls the secondary command pressure in such a manner that the secondary command pressure takes a first predetermined time to have the secondary pressure set value.

  • Patent number: 10704680
    Abstract: In a transmission control device for controlling a transmission, a controller determines failure of a SOL corresponding to a hydraulic secondary-pressure actuator. The controller variably controls line command pressure, and in a case where the failure is determined, fixes the line command pressure to a line pressure set value. The controller variably controls primary command pressure, and in a case where the failure is determined, continuously changes a speed ratio of a variator by variably controlling the primary command pressure. The controller variably controls secondary command pressure, and in a case where the failure is determined, fixes the secondary command pressure to a secondary pressure set value.

  • Patent number: 10683928
    Abstract: In a transmission control device, a controller determines failure of a rotation sensor. A hydraulic control circuit and the controller variably control a speed ratio of a variator. The hydraulic control circuit and the controller variably control a gear position of a sub-transmission mechanism, and in a case where the failure is determined, fix the gear position of the sub-transmission mechanism to first speed. The hydraulic control circuit and the controller fix the gear position of the sub-transmission mechanism to the first speed during a vehicle stop in a case where the gear position of the sub-transmission mechanism upon a determination of the failure is second speed.

  • Patent number: 10371255
    Abstract: In a transmission control device, a controller determines failure of a rotation sensor. A hydraulic control circuit and the controller variably control a speed ratio of a variator, and in a case where the failure is determined, execute first control of restricting a shift range of the variator. The hydraulic control circuit and the controller variably control a gear position of a sub-transmission mechanism, and in a case where the failure is determined, execute second control of fixing the gear position of the sub-transmission mechanism to first speed. The hydraulic control circuit and the controller execute the second control at a different timing from the first control in a case where the gear position of the sub-transmission mechanism upon a determination of the failure is second speed.

  • Patent number: 10124788
    Abstract: A transmission controller determines hydraulic pressures supplied to a primary pulley and a secondary pulley on the basis of a torque calculation value in a case where an integrated controller does not detect a torque detection error, determines the hydraulic pressures supplied to the primary pulley and the secondary pulley on the basis of the torque calculation value in a case where the integrated controller detects the torque detection error and the torque calculation value is equal to or more than a predetermined value, and determines the hydraulic pressures supplied to the primary pulley and the secondary pulley on the basis of a torque value higher than the torque calculation value in a case where the integrated controller detects the torque detection error and the torque calculation value is less than the predetermined value.
