Abstract
The embodiments described herein include a control system and method for a vehicle. In one embodiment, the control system is able to determine the occurrence of NVH anomalies due to gear lash and control the operation of various vehicle devices to reduce the effects of gear lash. If such NVH anomalies are foreseen, a predetermined torque is applied to the vehicle wheels for a predetermined time period. Subsequently, the applied torque is gradually increased until a creep torque is reached.
