Abstract: A coolant control system of a vehicle includes a coolant pump that pumps coolant to a heat exchanger. A diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) injector injects a DEF into an exhaust system and receives coolant output from the heat exchanger. A fuel heat exchanger transfers heat between coolant and fuel flowing through the fuel heat exchanger. An engine control module is configured to determine a first requested speed for DEF injector cooling, determine a second requested speed for fuel cooling, and based on at least one of the first and second requested speeds, selectively increase at least one of: opening of a valve that controls a flow rate of fuel flowing from the fuel rail to the fuel tank, a flow rate of fuel from fuel injectors of an engine to the fuel tank, and a target speed of the coolant pump.

Abstract: A coolant control system of a vehicle includes a coolant pump that pumps coolant to a second radiator that is different than a first radiator that receives coolant from an engine of the vehicle. A diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) injector injects a DEF into an exhaust system and receives coolant output from the second radiator. A fuel heat exchanger transfers heat between coolant and fuel flowing therethrough. An engine control module is configured to determine a temperature of the DEF injector, control a duty cycle of the coolant pump, determine a vaporized condition of the coolant based on a DEF injector temperature, optionally further, in response to determining a vaporized condition of the coolant, implement a vapor purge by oscillating the duty cycle of the coolant pump, and optionally further identify a low-coolant condition of the coolant control system based on the vapor purges implemented during a time period.

Abstract: An engine control system includes: a target air mass module configured to determine a target mass of air within a cylinder of an engine based on a torque request; a boost control module configured to control boost provided by a turbocharger based on the torque request; an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) control module configured to selectively: set a target opening of an EGR valve based on the target mass of air; set the target opening of the EGR valve to a predetermined minimum opening, where the predetermined minimum opening is greater than zero percent open; and control opening of the EGR valve based on the target opening of the EGR valve.

Abstract: A control system for a turbocharger of a vehicle includes an enable module, an error module, a reduction module, and a boost module. The enable module is configured to: enable reduction in a boost pressure setpoint of a compressor of the turbocharger based on whether a fault exists, load on an engine, and a compressor outlet temperature; and generate an enable signal indicating whether reduction in the boost pressure setpoint is enabled. The error module configured to determine a difference between the compressor outlet temperature and a predetermined limit. The reduction control module is configured to, in response to the enable signal indicating reduction in the boost pressure setpoint is enabled, reduce the boost pressure setpoint based on the difference. The boost module is configured to adjust boost pressure output of the compressor based on the boost pressure setpoint.
