Abstract
A method for inhibiting stalling of an engine of a hybrid electric vehicle. The method includes determining whether the engine is running, determining whether a gear ratio of a power transfer unit is selected, starting a timer, and implementing a stall mitigation strategy. The stall mitigation strategy is terminated when a predetermined period of time has elapsed.
