Abstract

A control system is provided. The control system includes a timer module that receives a first torque converter clutch (TCC) apply request and estimates at least one of a message latency time and a hydraulic latency time. A control module receives a subsequent TCC apply request and generates a torque request for an engine based on the at least one of the hydraulic latency time and the torque message latency time.
