SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREDICTING A DISCONNECT CLUTCH TIME TO CONNECTION

A method including the determination of a predicted time associated with a completion of an engine-start, the causation of an engine to transition into torque control in response to a difference between a calibration-time period associated with the predicted time and a time-to-connection associated with an engine-start time period, the causation of a disconnect clutch to lock in response to the calibration-time period being within a range of the time-to-connection associated with the engine-start time period, and the transmission of a report that the disconnect clutch is locked.
