    摘要: A vehicle includes an engine and driven wheels each having an associated friction brake. A brake pedal is operable to engage the friction brakes. The vehicle includes a transmission having an input shaft driveably connected to the engine, an output element driveably connected to the driven wheels, and a gear mechanism adapted to establish at least one torque flow path between the input shaft and the output element. The transmission further includes a shift element that interrupts the torque flow path when disengaged. A gear selector is disposed in the passenger cabin and includes at least one forward-drive position, a reverse position, and a neutral position. At least one vehicle controller is configured to, in response to the gear selector being in the forward-drive position, a speed of the vehicle being zero, the vehicle being within a first predefined distance of a stoplight, and the brake pedal being depressed, disengage the shift element to put the transmission in neutral idle.

    摘要: A vehicle includes a transmission, friction brakes, and a controller. The transmission has a clutch that is configured to transfer torque from an input of the transmission to a drive wheel. The controller is programmed to, in response to application of the friction brakes resulting in a stationary position of the vehicle, disengage the clutch to establish a neutral condition of the transmission. The controller is also programmed to, in response to a command to launch the vehicle while the transmission is in the neutral condition, engage the clutch. The controller is further programmed to, in response to an estimated wheel torque exceeding a rollback threshold during the clutch engagement, release the friction brakes. The wheel torque is based on an estimated clutch torque which is based on a clutch pressure and a transmission input torque.

    摘要: A vehicle includes an electric machine including a rotor. The vehicle further includes a traction battery configured to supply electric power to the electric machine. The vehicle further includes a wheel mechanically coupled to the electric machine. The vehicle further includes one or more controllers programmed to, responsive to detecting a battery temperature below a threshold and the vehicle being parked, rotate the rotor to a preset position such that the wheel rotates.

    摘要: An electrified vehicle includes a traction battery, an inverter coupled to the traction battery via positive and negative legs of a high voltage bus and operable to convert DC power from the traction battery to three-phase AC power, a capacitor connected across the positive and negative legs of the high voltage bus, an electric machine having three phases coupled to the inverter, and a controller programmed to control electric machine voltage toward zero at a first slew rate or control electric machine current to a target short circuit current at a second slew rate in response to an active short request signal and to control the inverter to actively short the three phases of the electric machine after either (a) a specified elapsed time, or (b) after the electric machine voltage is below a first threshold or the current is within a predetermined range of the target short circuit current.
