Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and device for securely and comfortably operating a drive train of a motor vehicle, especially for operating a drive train with several clutches. An actuator of a clutch or an actuation part of a standard gear box is thus referred to; the neutral gear of the gear box is detected, actuation of the selected lever is controlled and clutches and gears of a twin-clutch transmission are controlled according to the state of the vehicle. The invention also relates to a method for examining and altering a circuit of a preselection gear of a compound coupling transmission.
Abstract:
A system is provided for the control of two transmissions (172, 184) in a multi-combination vehicle having at least two engines (170, 182), each engine operatively coupled to one transmission. Each transmission (172, 184) has its own electrical power source and an electronic control unit (194, 196). The system includes an electronic gear selector (214) having a power input and a variable output representative of a desired operation of each of the transmissions (172, 184). The system further includes a gear selector control module (210) that is provided power from each of the electronic control units (194, 196) and selectively provides power to the power input of the electronic gear selector (214) from a selected one of the electronic control units (194, 196). The variable output of the electronic gear selector (214) is in communication with at least the selected one of the electronic control units (194, 196). The electronic gear selector (214) further includes a display for displaying diagnostic codes from an electronic control unit (194, 196), the selector selectively displaying diagnostic codes from the electronic control unit (194, 196) that it is provided power from. In other embodiments, the system of the present invention is effective for the control of multi-combination vehicles having at least three engines.
