Claim 7:
8. A system, comprising:
an internal combustion engine;
an integrated starter/generator;
a disconnect clutch positioned in a driveline between the internal combustion engine and the integrated starter/generator;
a transmission included in the driveline; and
a controller including executable instructions stored in non-transitory memory that cause the controller to command an increase in a driveline disconnect clutch pressure in response to a driveline disconnect clutch de-stroke signature, where the driveline disconnect clutch de-stroke signature is a pressure that is less than an offset pressure from an expected stroke pressure of a driveline disconnect clutch for a threshold amount of time, and where the driveline disconnect clutch de-stroke signature begins at a most recent time when the driveline disconnect clutch pressure drops below the offset pressure from the expected stroke pressure.
