Abstract
A hybrid vehicle includes an engine, an electric machine, and a clutch configured to selectively couple the engine to the electric machine. A controller is programmed to command a torque to the electric machine based on a clutch model that includes a learned time constant previously selected using a family of candidate time constants based on a comparison of the family to measured pressure data of a previous engagement of the clutch.
