Systems and methods for learning torque estimate errors and updating torque estimation models are presented. In one example, torque errors are learned during an engine shut-down, after a disconnect clutch coupled between an engine and an electric machine has been released. An updated torque estimation model is then used to control torque during subsequent engine operation to improve drive feel and vehicle performance.

1. A method for a hybrid vehicle, comprising: during selected engine shut-down conditions,releasing a disconnect clutch coupled between an engine and an electric machine in a vehicle driveline; andafter disconnect clutch release and before fuel injection to the engine is deactivated, estimating torque errors based on actual engine speed profile deviations from a commanded engine speed profile at each of plural engine speed set-points; andadjusting engine operation based on the estimated torque errors. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the plural engine speed set-points are selected based on an engine torque error history. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein a number of engine speed set-points are selected based on a desired duration to engine rest during the engine shut-down conditions, the number of engine speed set-points increased as the desired duration to engine rest increases. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein a larger number of engine speed set-points are selected during engine shut-down conditions when the engine is coasting to rest, and a smaller number of engine speed set-points are selected when the engine is substantially immediately stopped. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising, not estimating the torque errors if a fuel level in a vehicle fuel tank is lower than a threshold. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising, in response to a driver change of mind restart request received during the estimating, discontinuing the estimating of torque errors, and expediting spinning down of the engine to rest. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the electric machine is a crankshaft integrated starter/generator (CISG) mechanically coupling the engine to a transmission and wheels of the vehicle driveline. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising, learning the estimated torque errors as a function of corresponding engine speed set-points and updating an engine torque estimation model with the estimated torque errors. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the estimated torque errors are further learned as a function of one or more engine actuator settings including throttle angle, spark timing, manifold air flow, and boost level. 10. The method of claim 8, further comprising, during a subsequent engine restart, applying the disconnect clutch and adjusting an engine air and fueling based on the learned torque errors to control an engine torque commanded at clutch application. 11. A method for a hybrid vehicle driveline, comprising: in response to idle-stop conditions and during a rolling engine stop: selectively deactivating an engine and releasing a disconnect clutch coupled between the engine and a CISG; the CISG coupled to driveline transmission and wheels; andwhile the engine is decelerating, maintaining an engine torque command; andlearning an engine torque error within an engine speed window, the error estimated based on deviation of an actual engine speed profile from an expected engine speed profile in the engine speed window, upon release of the clutch; andcontrolling an engine torque based on the learned engine torque error. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the engine speed window is selected based on an engine speed set-point having a history of torque disturbances. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the learning an engine torque error within an engine speed window is performed at each of a plurality of engine speed set-points, the plurality of engine speed set-points selected based on driveline disturbances experienced during disconnect clutch release on previous engine idle-stop conditions. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein learning an engine torque error includes, learning an engine torque over-estimation error if the actual engine speed profile in the engine speed window is higher than the expected engine speed profile, and learning an engine torque under-estimation error if the actual engine speed profile in the engine speed window is lower than the expected engine speed profile. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein releasing a disconnect clutch includes releasing a disconnect clutch while a vehicle speed is above a threshold speed. 16. The method of claim 11, further comprising, learning the engine torque error as a function of engine speed and actuator settings at the engine speed and controlling an engine torque commanded during a subsequent engine restart based on the learned engine torque error.
