Abstract:
In a vehicle on which a torque converter having a lock-up clutch is mounted between an engine and a transmission, a meet point learning controller is provided to perform learning control for obtaining a learning value based on information on a meet point at which the lock-up clutch starts torque transmission. The meet point learning controller estimates a LU transmission torque based on a difference between an engine torque signal value and a torque converter transmission torque when the lock-up clutch moves from a non-engaged state to an engaged state during traveling of the vehicle, and uses, as the meet point information, a meet point detection pressure at a time when the LU transmission torque estimated value is determined to have entered an upward trend.
