    Abstract: The method determines whether soot loading of a gas particulate filter (GPF) requires regeneration. If it does, the temperature of the GPF is read to determine whether it is sufficiently high to achieve particulate (soot) burning. If it is not, an engine control module is commanded to adjust variables such as spark timing, fuel injection timing and valve timing. If the temperature of the particulate filter is sufficiently high that regeneration can occur, other variables may be adjusted such as leaning the air/fuel mixture, retarding the spark timing, the fuel injection and valve timing. Because the latter adjustments may limit or reduce either engine speed or power, messages in a message center are provided indicating, first, that the driver should continue driving for GPF regeneration and, subsequently, under certain conditions, that the engine power has been reduced. Operation of the motor vehicle proceeds until, based upon sensed conditions or pre-determined experimental or empirical data, the filter has been regenerated.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a boost pressure of a turbocharger is provided. The turbocharger includes a waste gate valve and a waste gate actuator. When the internal combustion engine operates under cold temperature conditions, a steady state temperature of the waste gate actuator is determined and a corrected temperature of the waste gate actuator is estimated as a function of the thermal convection between ambient air and the waste gate actuator. A corrected value of the duty cycle of a pulse width modulated signal is estimated as a function of said corrected temperature and the duty cycle corrected value is used to control the boost pressure of the turbocharger.
