Abstract

A powertrain system includes an internal combustion engine rotatably coupled via an input member to a transmission. The transmission has a hydraulic circuit including a hydraulic fluid pump directly mechanically coupled to the input member. A computer-implemented method for operating the powertrain system includes, in response to a command to execute an engine autostop maneuver, determining an engine speed ramping profile to achieve a desired stopped engine position. Hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic circuit is controlled in response to the engine speed ramping profile and engine speed during said engine autostop maneuver.
