First Claim
Patent Images
1. A control system for a hydraulic automatic transmission, comprising:
- a fault detection module that detects a plurality of faults associated with the transmission; and
a transmission diagnostic module that, in response to detecting at least one of the plurality of faults;
determines whether a number of the plurality of faults is greater than a predetermined number of faults;
diagnoses a low hydraulic fluid pressure of the transmission if the number of the plurality of faults is greater than the predetermined number of faults;
diagnoses a fault in at least one valve of the transmission if the number of the plurality of faults is not greater than the predetermined number of faults; and
generates an indication based on whether the low hydraulic fluid pressureor the fault in the at least one valve is diagnosed.

Abstract
A control system for a hydraulic automatic transmission includes a fault detection module and a transmission diagnostic module. The fault detection module detects faults of components of the transmission, wherein the faults may indicate low hydraulic fluid pressure in the transmission or failure of one or more of the components. The transmission diagnostic module determines whether the faults are due to low hydraulic pressure based on the detected faults, a predetermined number of faults, and a plurality of conditions.

15. A method for controlling a hydraulic automatic transmission, comprising:
-
detecting, using a processor, a plurality of faults associated with the transmission; and in response to detecting at least one fault of the plurality of faults; determining, using a processor, whether a number of the plurality of faults is greater than a predetermined number of faults; diagnosing, using a processor, a low hydraulic fluid pressure of the transmission if the number of the plurality of faults is greater than the predetermined number of faults; diagnosing, using a processor, a fault in at least on valve of the transmission if the number of the plurality of faults is not greater than the predetermined number of faults; and generating, using a processor, an indication based on whether the low hydraulic fluid pressure or the fault in the at least one valve is diagnosed. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
