Abstract:
1. A powertrain control apparatus comprising: a transmission which shifts speeds by applying a first friction apply element that is in a released state and releasing a second friction apply element that is in an applied state; a hydraulic pressure controlling portion which, during a shift, increases hydraulic pressure supplied to the first friction apply element to a preset standby pressure; a standby pressure correcting portion that corrects the standby pressure based on a state of the transmission; and an output torque controlling portion that controls, according to the corrected standby pressure, output torque of the powertrain during a shift in the transmission, when the corrected standby pressure has become converged, wherein the output torque controlling portion includes: a torque increasing portion that increases the output torque of the powertrain during a torque phase, during the shift in the transmission; and an output timing setting portion that makes a timing, at which the output torque of the powertrain starts to be increased during the torque phase, earlier when the corrected standby pressure is high than when the corrected standby pressure is low.
