Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for operating an engine controller in a vehicle for managing motor torque smoothing. One controller is configured to select a periodic disruptive waveform generated over a period of time to approximate that is associated with the vehicle being at idle, determine a first harmonic sinusoid from a group of harmonic sinusoids that reduces the error between an approximated waveform and the disruptive waveform, and initiate a supplemental quantity of torque during the period of time based on the disruption quantity of torque.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for managing motor torque smoothing for internal combustion engine cylinder recharging events are described herein. An engine controller in a vehicle for managing motor torque smoothing for internal combustion engine cylinder recharging events may be configured to operate the internal combustion engine at a firing fraction that is less than a value of 1.0, wherein one or more cylinders are not designated to be fired, determine a recharge event time period where a particular one of the cylinders that have not been designated to be fired is recharged, identify a disruption quantity of torque during the recharging event time period, and actuate an additional motor to initiate a supplemental quantity of torque during the recharge event time period based on the disruption quantity of torque.

Abstract: Systems and methods to extend a life of a component of a cylinder deactivation system are provided. A method includes initiating, by a controller, a CDA mode for an engine; determining, by the controller, a first cycle count for a first oil control solenoid of the CDA system; determining, by the controller, a second cycle count for a second oil control solenoid of the CDA system; comparing, by the controller, the first cycle count and the second cycle count; and modifying, by the controller, operation of the CDA mode for the engine based on the comparison.

Abstract: Systems and methods to extend a life of a component of a cylinder deactivation system are provided. A method includes generating, by a controller, an initial life factor for the component; initiating, by the controller, a CDA mode for an engine; determining, by the controller, an actual life factor for the component, the actual life factor determined by comparing a number of switching events of a cylinder in the CDA mode to a number of cycles of the cylinder in the CDA mode; comparing, by the controller, the actual life factor to the initial life factor; and modifying, by the controller based on the comparison, operation of the engine in the CDA mode to adjust the actual life factor.
