Abstract
Temperature compensation techniques are utilized to provide consistent system response in a continuously variable transmission system or other control system over a range of expected operating temperatures. Variations in the independent transfer functions for various control functions, such as ratio control, line pressure control and clutch control are monitored or measured. Appropriate modifications to system operating parameters are scheduled based upon the measured, simulated or predicted variations in the transfer functions as previously determined. In operation, the disclosed system senses temperature and provides the appropriate compensation and gain parameter modifications in accordance with the selected schedules.
