In hydraulic pressure control apparatus and method for a continuously variable transmission, a line pressure of the continuously variable transmission is developed with a working oil supplied from an oil pump as an original pressure, and a command pressure is set to develop a line pressure target value of the target value in such a manner that the command pressure is maintained at a predetermined small value for a constant time and, thereafter, the value of the command pressure is raised up to the target value when a shift range of the continuously variable transmission is switched from a neutral range to a running range, the command pressure being raised at a rate lower than a step input to suppress an overshoot developed in the actual line pressure.

Hydraulic pressure control apparatus and method for continuously variable transmission

A hydraulic control apparatus for an automatic transmission with a line pressure regulator valve operative to regulate an oil pressure produced by an oil pump and set a line pressure, the hydraulic control apparatus including a control unit outputting a first command for controlling the line pressure regulator valve to set the line pressure to a minimum value immediately after engine start, and a second command for controlling the line pressure regulator valve to set the line pressure to a target value in accordance with increase in engine speed. The control unit is programmed to set the target value of the line pressure to a value smaller than a maximum value of the line pressure and/or reduce a target speed of engine speed, upon start of the engine in a low temperature condition.
