Cylinder deactivation engine control system with torque matching

An engine control system and method smoothes torque during transitions in a displacement on demand engine. A torque loss estimator generates a torque loss signal based on torque loss due to at least one of friction, pumping and accessories. A pedal torque estimator generates a pedal torque signal. A...

Summary:An engine control system and method smoothes torque during transitions in a displacement on demand engine. A torque loss estimator generates a torque loss signal based on torque loss due to at least one of friction, pumping and accessories. A pedal torque estimator generates a pedal torque signal. An idle torque estimator generates an idle torque signal. A summing circuit generates a difference between the pedal torque signal and the idle torque and the torque loss signals and outputs a desired brake torque signal.
