1. A vehicle comprising:
- an electric machine; and
at least one controller configured to, in response to a reset of the at least one controller while a speed of the vehicle is greater than a threshold value, provide a current command to the electric machine in accordance with calibration values calculated prior to the reset such that inoperability of the electric machine due to the reset is less than one second.

Abstract
A vehicle is provided including an electric machine and at least one controller. The controller, or controllers, are configured to, in response to a reset of the at least one controller while a speed of the vehicle is greater than a threshold value, provide a current command to the electric machine in accordance with calibration values calculated prior to the reset such that inoperability of the electric machine due to the reset is less than one second.

8. A vehicle powertrain control system comprising:
-
an electric machine; a first controller configured to supply a torque command; and a second controller configured to generate a calibration value and to provide a current command to the electric machine based on the torque command and the calibration value, wherein the first controller is further configured to store the calibration value and provide the calibration value to the second controller in response to a reset of the second controller while a speed of the vehicle is greater than a threshold value such that inoperability of the electric machine due to the reset is less than one second. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for controlling torque actuation of a hybrid-electric vehicle, the method comprising:
-
generating a current command signal based on a torque request; generating a calibration value indicative of a current command adjustment offset; sending a signal to a first controller indicative of the calibration value; storing the calibration value in a memory of the first controller; providing the calibration value to a second controller in response to a reset of the second controller while a speed of the vehicle is above a threshold; and resuming operation of the second controller using the calibration value such that a period of inoperability of an electric machine propelling the vehicle is less than one second. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
