Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling a damper clutch through learning. A controller determines whether a driving condition of a vehicle is a condition where a predetermined selected fluid pressure value is desired.

The controller updates the control current of the solenoid valve to an appropriate value based on response of the damper clutch. Thereafter, the controller controls the solenoid valve based on the updated control current.

On the other hand, a nitrogen oxide purification catalyst is regenerated through a chemical reaction between nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbon generated during the injection of fuel in a secondary fuel injection device in a low-load operating condition. Consequently, the catalyst may be regenerated in the entire operating region of an engine.
