METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING HYBRID VEHICLE SHIFTING

摘要

A method and a system for improving operation of a hybrid vehicle are presented. In one example, torque converter impeller torque from beginning to end of transmission shifting is adjusted in response to variable driveline inertia. The approach may improve transmission shifting and reduce driveline torque disturbances.

1. A method for operating a hybrid powertrain, comprising:
operating a drivetrain with a first inertia and adjusting a torque converter impeller torque during transmission gear shifting in response to the first inertia; and operating the drivetrain with a second inertia and adjusting the torque converter impeller torque during transmission gear shifting in response to the second inertia.
