8. A method for controlling driveline braking, comprising:
-
providing driveline braking via a first electric machine while rotation of an engine is stopped; starting rotation of the engine in response to a battery state of charge exceeding a threshold, where rotation of the engine is performed via a second electric machine. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A vehicle system, comprising:
-
an engine; a dual mass flywheel (DMF) including a first side mechanically coupled to the engine; a driveline disconnect clutch mechanically including a first side coupled to a second side of the dual mass flywheel; a driveline integrated starter/generator (DISG) including a first side coupled to a second side of the driveline disconnect clutch; a starter other than the DISG including a base state where the starter is not engaged to the engine; a transmission selectively coupled to the engine via the driveline disconnect clutch; and a controller including non-transitory instructions executable to automatically stop the engine, provide driveline braking via the DISG while engine rotation is stopped, rotate a stopped engine via the starter other than the DISG when the DISG is providing driveline braking and when battery state of charge is greater than a threshold level. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
