Abstract
A control apparatus for an automatic transmission includes an engine; a torque converter connected with the engine; an oil pump driven by the engine; a starting clutch adapted to be engaged by an engagement pressure produced by the oil pump to transmit propelling power of a vehicle at a start time of the vehicle; and a controller. The controller includes an idle stop control section configured to deactivate the engine when the vehicle is in a stopped state and a predetermined condition is satisfied, and configured to restart the engine when the predetermined condition becomes not to be satisfied. The controller moreover includes an engagement-pressure control section configured to control the engagement pressure while the starting clutch shifts from in a disengaged state to in an engaged state, and configured to carry out a learning control to correct the engagement pressure of the starting clutch in accordance with a state of a creep start of the vehicle in the case where the idle stop control section restarts the engine.
