A method and apparatus for executing a strategy of electronic throttle monitoring of a powertrain system including an electronic powertrain control module, and an electronic throttle control, includes an independent processor receiving signals shared with the powertrain control module from sensors and actuators on the vehicle. The monitor operates in a monitoring mode to detect faults occurring in the powertrain or the powertrain control module, and determines whether mitigating conditions occur in conjunction with detected power output greater than power demand. In the event that these mitigating conditions are not detected, the monitor operates in a limiting mode to actuate decreases in power output below the level of power demand.

An air/fuel control system (8) and method to maintain the air/fuel ratio of each engine bank (28) out of phase with one another. A feedback variable is generated (410-428) in response to a comparison of a difference in exhaust gas oxygen sensors (44, 55) from respective left and right engine banks (56, 57) to a reference (104-120). Separate feedback variables are generated for each engine bank by phase inverting the feedback variable between the banks and adding an adjustment signal (450-462). The adjustment signal is generated from a PI controller responsive to a comparison of the sum of the left and right exhaust gas oxygen sensors (44, 55) to a reference (440-448).

Methods and systems are provided for restarting an engine following an engine idle-stop. In one example, a method may include, following a first unsuccessful engine restart attempt, prompting a driver, via a human machine interface (HMI) to apply a brake pedal and upon application of the brake pedal, carrying out one or more restart attempts. If the driver does not apply the brake pedal within the threshold duration, the driver may be prompted to manually restart the engine.

A system includes a first battery configured to power at least one vehicle subsystem and a second battery configured to power an electric motor to propel a vehicle. A processing device is configured to detect an inadequate power level provided from the first battery to the at least one vehicle subsystem and selectively partition the second battery to power the at least one vehicle subsystem.

Vehicle operating systems are autonomously operated. A transient in an upcoming path of the vehicle is determined from a comparison of vehicle path data and vehicle status data to a threshold of mechanism first operating system. Operational parameters for one of first and second operating systems are selected according to the comparison. The selected operational parameters are applied to the operation of the one of the first and second operating systems.
