Abstract
Methods and systems for operating a driveline that includes a cardan joint are described. In one example, electric machine torque is adjusted in response to driver demand torque and a torque to compensate for cardan joint rotation. The electric machine torque adjustments operate to cancel driveline torque variation that may be induced via the cardan joint.
