Abstract: A control method and a control device are provided for an internal combustion engine structured to vary a mechanical compression ratio by varying a range of slide of a piston with respect to a cylinder bore, and structured to control a flow of cooling water in a water jacket formed around the cylinder bore, wherein variation of the mechanical compression ratio causes the piston to slide on a corroded portion formed in the cylinder bore. A control process includes: acquiring a temperature correlating with a cylinder bore wall temperature; and stopping the flow of cooling water in the water jacket, in response to a condition that the acquired temperature is lower than a preset temperature point.

Abstract: An oil pump driving control device of a vehicle having a main oil pump (14) that is driven by a motor/generator (4) and produces a pump discharge oil to a first clutch (3), a second clutch (5) and a belt-type continuously variable transmission (6) provided on a driving force transmission line. A hybrid control module (81) is provided in this FF hybrid vehicle. The hybrid control module (81) is configured to perform a control so that during vehicle stop, the lower an ATF oil temperature is, the more the pump driving energy to drive the main oil pump (14) is decreased. With this control, consumption energy during the vehicle stop can be reduced.

Abstract: A controller is provided so as to control, when an electric vehicle (EV) mode is selected, a belt clamping pressure on the basis of discharged oil from a main oil pump which is driven by a motor generator. The controller is provided for a hybrid vehicle and is configured to perform control such that when the vehicle is stopped in the EV mode and a creep cut condition which does not require creep torque from the motor generator is met, a first motor idling rotation speed is set as a motor rotation speed. When the vehicle is stopped in the EV mode and a standby learning control completes learning of a zero-point oil pressure command value, the controller reduces a rotation speed of the motor generator to a second motor idling rotation speed which is lower than the first motor idling rotation speed.

Abstract: It controls, when EV mode is selected, belt clamping pressure on the basis of discharged oil from a main oil pump (14) which is driven by a motor generator (4). This control device for a FF hybrid vehicle is provided with a motor controller (83) that performs control such that when a vehicle is stopped in EV mode and a creep cut condition which does not require creep torque from the motor generator (4) is met, a first motor idling rotation speed Nma1 is set as a motor rotation speed.

Abstract: A control system for a hybrid vehicle is provided with an abnormality detection unit, a start determination unit, and a start control unit. The abnormality detection unit detects abnormality in at least one of an engine, a first clutch, and an automatic transmission. The start determination unit determines whether or not to allow the engine to be started, and the start control unit controls to start the engine. If an abnormality has been detected by the abnormality detection unit, the start determination unit inhibits the start control unit from starting the engine, and maintains the inhibition even when the abnormality has been eliminated, when the accelerator pedal opening is larger than a predetermined value.

Abstract: An automatic transmission has a transmission control section performing a control so that a transmission ratio defined as input rpm/output rpm of the automatic transmission becomes a target transmission ratio, a slip control section slip-controlling a frictional engagement element in the automatic transmission so that the input rpm becomes a value obtained by multiplying the output rpm by the target transmission ratio also adding a predetermined slip revolution speed; and an abnormality judgment section judging abnormality in the automatic transmission. When the slip-control is not in progress, if an actual transmission ratio is out of a predetermined range of the target transmission ratio, the abnormality judgment section judges that abnormality occurs. When the slip-control is in progress, if a value obtained by correcting the actual transmission ratio on the basis of the slip revolution speed is out of the predetermined range, the abnormality judgment section judges that abnormality occurs.

Abstract: When a restart of an engine is performed due to the requirement of a vehicle state unintended by a driver, a creep force which is initially generated is suppressed to a small value so that a vehicle is prevented from moving off. When automatic stop conditions are satisfied, the engine 1 stops, and when restart conditions are satisfied, a starting motor 2 is started so as to restart an engine 1. A condition for engine restart unintended by the driver is determined, and during a predetermined time when the engine restarts unintended by the driver, a smaller creep drive force is generated than when the engine restarts which is intended by the driver. During this predetermined time, only the motor 2 is rotated without starting the engine, and the creep force is suppressed low.
