Abstract
Systems and methods for improving operation of a hybrid vehicle are presented. In one example, a method for transitioning between regenerative braking and providing positive torque to a driveline is presented. In particular, an electric machine of the hybrid vehicle may be operated in a speed control mode to reduce the possibility of gear lash.
