Abstract:
1. A control apparatus for an automatic transmission of a vehicle having a transmission portion constituting a part of a power transmitting path between an engine and a drive wheel, and an electric motor operatively connected to an element of the transmission portion, the control apparatus being configured to generate a regenerative braking command commanding said electric motor to generate a predetermined regenerative braking force when a brake operating member is operated, and to implement a sweep control of a torque capacity of a coupling element of said transmission portion when the coupling element is engaged to perform a shifting action of the transmission portion, said control apparatus comprising: shifting control means for increasing a sweeping rate at which the torque capacity of the coupling element of said transmission portion to be engaged to perform the shifting action is increased in said sweep control when said regenerative braking command is generated during an inertia phase of said shifting action.
