Abstract
A method for controlling the powertrain system for a vehicle improves powertrain performance. The powertrain system includes an internal combustion engine comprising a crankshaft, an isolator assembly, a motor generator unit, and a powertrain control module. The isolator assembly includes a first member fixedly connected for common rotation with the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and a second member. The motor generator unit includes a pulley coupled with the second member of the isolator assembly for torque transfer. The powertrain control module comprises a control logic sequence and controls the operation of the powertrain system.
