Abstract: An engine control system comprises a torque control module, an air conditioning (A/C) load comparison module, and an A/C load compensation module. The torque control module controls an engine to produce a first torque request based on a first torque maintains a current speed of the engine. The A/C load comparison module compares a transient load to a difference between a torque available to the engine and the first torque request. The A/C load compensation module selectively increases the first torque request prior to a clutch engagement based on the comparison.

Abstract: A throttle area compensation system for use with an electronic throttle control of a vehicle includes a compensation datastore of compensation values indexed by pre-compensated throttle area. A compensation vector learning module receives a pre-compensated throttle area and at least one sensed vehicle condition, and informs the compensation datastore based on the pre-compensated throttle area and the sensed vehicle condition. A throttle area compensation module communicates with the compensation datastore, receives the pre-compensated throttle area, and determines a compensated throttle area based on the pre-compensated throttle area and a corresponding compensation value of the compensation data store.

Abstract: An electronic throttle control (ETC) system to control an idle speed of an engine includes an accessory that increases a load on the engine and a controller that generates an idle request signal based on the increased load. The controller compares the idle request signal to an idle maximum signal and sets an idle command signal equal to the idle request signal if the idle request signal is less than the idle maximum signal. The controller determines the idle command signal based on the idle request signal, a previous idle command signal and the idle maximum increase signal if the idle request signal is greater than the idle maximum signal.
