Abstract

An embodiment is a control method for cooling a powertrain component, the method including in response to a destination being input to a navigation, determining estimated high-load driving timing of the powertrain component based on estimated driving information of a vehicle, and in response to a determination that a temperature difference between the actual temperature of the powertrain component and a reference temperature before the estimated high-load driving timing is lower than or equal to a precooling operating value, precooling the powertrain component until an actual temperature of the powertrain component reaches a target temperature by controlling an operation of each component of a powertrain cooling system.
