A lock-up clutch control device which controls a lock-up clutch provided
in a torque converter installed between an engine and a transmission, is
disclosed. The lock-up clutch control device changes over between a
converter state and a lock-up state of the torque converter according to
a differential pressure command value (LUprs) relating to a differential
pressure supplied to the lock-up clutch. The lock-up clutch control
device includes a differential pressure generating device (7, 8) which
generates the differential pressure supplied to the lock-up clutch; input
torque detection means (2, 14, 15) which detects an input torque (Te) to
the torque converter; and a controller (1). The controller (1) is
programmed to compute a real differential pressure (P_lu) based on the
detected input torque (Te) upon completion of the engagement of the
lock-up clutch; compute a learning value (P_learn(Tai)) relating to a
differential pressure deviation, based on the difference between the
computed real differential pressure (P_lu) and differential pressure
command value (P_ref) upon completion of the engagement of the lock-up
clutch, and store the learning value (P_learn(Tai)); correct a present
differential pressure command value (LUprs_slp) based on the learning
value (P_learn(Tai)); and send the corrected differential pressure
command value (LUprs) to the differential pressure generating device (7,
8).
