Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for controlling a continuously variable transmission (CVT) of a powertrain system includes determining a target clamping pressure and an actual clamping pressure, and determining a proportional correction term and an integral correction term based upon the target clamping pressure and the actual clamping pressure. An adapt correction term is determined based upon the target clamping pressure and a temperature of the CVT. A commanded clamping pressure for controlling the CVT is determined based upon the proportional correction term, the integral correction term and the adapt correction term. A pressure command is employed to drive an actuator of a moveable sheave of a pulley of a variator of the CVT based upon the commanded clamping pressure.
