Abstract: A method is provided for calibrating a control algorithm of a clutch control unit of a vehicle. The method includes requesting, clutch disengagement or engagement, monitoring clutch actuator position, determining a time interval that starts with the clutch disengagement or engagement request and ends when the clutch actuator has reached a predetermined position, and calibrating an estimated time interval of the control algorithm starting with clutch disengagement or engagement request and ending when the clutch actuator has reached a predetermined position based on the determined time interval. A computer program for implementing the method, as well as a vehicle comprising a clutch control unit calibrated according to the method, are also provided.

Abstract: A method for adapting a drive train based upon a PTO load is provided. The method includes continually during vehicle driving determining a torque magnitude indicative of said power take off unit's torque consumption by sensing a fluid pressure produced by a power take off fluid pump. The sensed power take off unit torque consumption is continually compared with an output torque produced by a prime mover. Using the difference from said output torque expected value and the measured PTO torque consumption, a control unit adjusts transmission shifting (if automatic) of a transmission and/or prime mover control because the PTO will cause the prime mover to lose some of its available torque. Based on the PTO load, the engine control will selected the appropriate prime mover torque production and the transmission control unit will select the appropriate start gear, upshift gears, and downshift gears.
