Abstract

A method of controlling line pressure of a hydraulic circuit of a transmission, may include turning on electric current by a controller to apply the electric current to an electric oil pump and determining line pressure depending on the electric current applied; and turning off the electric current by the controller so that the electric current being applied to the electric oil pump is cut off when the determined line pressure is greater than a predetermined reference upper limit value, estimating line pressure dropping down with a passage of time and determining the estimated line pressure, wherein when the estimated line pressure becomes lower than a predetermined reference lower limit value, the turning on the electric current is repeated.
