Engine Torque


Engine Torque





Trionic converts the current air mass/combustion to information on engine torque. This information is sent on the P-bus.
The TCS/ABS control module uses the information on engine torque to calculate the current driving wheel torque and detect any faults in the system.

The engine torque and vehicle speed is used to calculate the gear ratio of cars with manual gearbox. The control module in automatic transmission places information on the gear ratio on the P-bus.

Using the information on engine torque and current gear ratio, the control module can calculate the driving wheel torque. This is used to calculate the magnitude of any braking in progress and the limit for engine torque.


Diagnostics
If the information on the engine torque is incorrect, diagnostic trouble code C1928 will be generated, the TCS function will be disengaged and the TCS OFF lamp will come on.

In the event of a fault in the Trionic system throttle control (limp home), the CHECK ENGINE lamp will come on and the cause of the fault can be found in Trionic.

If TC/ABS is programmed for the wring engine variant or gearbox, diagnostic trouble code C0551 will be generated.
