SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING CLUTCH-RELATED FAULTS IN AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

摘要

A fault diagnostic method for an automatic transmission may include monitoring an operating state of a trim system configured to selectively supply clutch engagement pressure and exhaust to at least one clutch control valve, determining an expected operating state of the trim system based on current operating conditions of the transmission, and generating a fault signal if the monitored operating state of the trim system is different from the expected operating state of the trim system.
