Abstract
A method for managing temperature of a piston of an engine of a vehicle, the method comprises determining, by a throttle position sensor connected to a controller, a throttle position of a throttle valve of the engine, determining, by an engine speed sensor connected to the controller, an engine speed (RPM) of the engine, and determining, by the controller, an estimated piston temperature based on at least the throttle position and the engine speed.
