Lock-up hystersis control device for a torque converter

摘要

A lock-up controller is provided for shifting a torque converter of a vehicle from the lock-up state to the unlock state when the accelerator pedal is depressed at a speed larger than a predetermined speed when the vehicle is coasting, The controller is further functioning to prevent the torque converter from shifting to the lock-up state when the torque converter has been shifted to the unlock state and the vehicle speed is within the predetermined re-lock-up prevention speed range so as to avoid frequent lock-up/unlock operation of the torque converter.
