A method for comprehensive integrated control of an internal combustion engine, such as a compression-ignition engine, utilizing an electronic control module (20) is disclosed. The control strategy integrates various functions of engine control including an acceleration balance test for the engine cylinders, a fuel economy vehicle speed limit adder, a fueling limit for high altitude vehicle operation, throttle logic, a data-hub for operation trending and vehicle component lifing analyses, a gear ratio torque limit, an air temperature based torque limit, enhanced cooling fan control, and an idle shutdown strategy based on ambient air temperature.
A method for limiting idling time of an internal combustion engine in a vehicle having an electronic control module for controlling the internal combustion engine, the method comprising:
A method for limiting idling time of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle having an electronic control module for controlling the engine and a parking brake for maintaining the vehicle in a stationary condition, the method comprising:
A system for limiting idling time of an electronically controlled internal combustion engine in a vehicle, the system comprising:
A method for controlling an internal combustion engine in a vehicle including a transmission connected to the engine and having a transmission retarder, the vehicle also including a radiator containing engine coolant for cooling the engine during operation and a cooling fan for increasing cooling rate of the engine coolant and engine components, the method comprising:
