  • Patent number: 10753472
    Abstract: A control device that includes an electronic control unit that is configured to perform neutral travel control that controls the transmission apparatus to enter a neutral state in which power is not transferred during rotation of the wheel, wherein the electronic control unit performs switching between an engaged neutral state in which a particular engagement device of the plurality of engagement devices is put in an engagement state and the transmission apparatus is put in a state in which power is not transferred and a released neutral state in which all of the plurality of engagement devices are put in a released state and the transmission apparatus is put in the state in which power is not transferred, based on at least a vehicle speed during the neutral travel control.

  • Patent number: 10393256
    Abstract: Desired is a control device for a vehicle drive apparatus capable of determining an engagement failure in an engagement device when shifting a transmission device to a neutral state and making the rotational speed of a driving force source reduced. In order to shift a transmission device from a state in which an object shift speed is established and the vehicle is traveling to a neutral state in which no shift speed is established in the transmission device (#02), when an object engagement device is disengaged while maintaining engagement of a non-object engagement device and the rotational speed of a driving force source (#04, #06) is made to be reduced, an engagement failure in the object engagement device (#02, #07) is determined based on a change in the rotational speed of an input member.

  • Publication number: 20190136970
    Abstract: A transmission device is provided with a hydraulic control device, which has a pump for generating hydraulic pressure using power from a motor, and an accumulator, and which controls hydraulic pressure and supplies the hydraulic pressure to a hydraulic servo of an engagement element. The transmission device executes, when the motor that automatically stopped starts up with a request for vehicle travel: a fill control in which the hydraulic control device is controlled so that the hydraulic servo is being filled with working oil; a standby control to control the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic servo at a standby pressure; and an engagement control to increase the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic servo is started when the rotational speed of the motor becomes reaches or exceeds a prescribed rotational speed, after hydraulic pressure accumulated in the accumulator is released into the hydraulic circuit, so that the engagement element is engaged.
