    Abstract: A valve control system for an internal combustion engine includes a valve actuation system. The valve actuation system includes at least one of first and second configurations. The first configuration includes a shared lift control valve that actuates an intake valve and an exhaust valve between N open lift modes, where N is an integer greater than one. A second configuration includes a first lift control valve that actuates the intake valve and not the exhaust valve and a second lift control valve that actuates the exhaust valve and not the intake valve between the N open lift modes. A control module that enables transitioning of at least one of the intake and exhaust valves between the N open lift modes for the first and second configurations.

    Abstract: An engine control system controls transitions between activated and deactivated modes in a displacement on demand engine. The engine control system includes an engine speed sensor that generates an engine speed signal and a controller that calculates a torque reserve of the engine based on the engine speed signal. The controller transitions the engine from the activated mode to the deactivated mode when the torque reserve is greater than a threshold torque. The controller transitions the engine from the deactivated mode to the activated mode when the torque reserve is lower than the threshold torque.

    Abstract: A system according to the present disclosure includes a pressure estimation module and a fault detection module. The pressure estimation module estimates a pressure of hydraulic fluid in a valve actuation system that actuates at least one of an intake valve and an exhaust valve of an engine. The fault detection module compares the estimated pressure to a pressure measured by a pressure sensor disposed in the valve actuation system and detects a fault in the pressure sensor based on a difference between the estimated pressure and the measured pressure.

    Abstract: A system for a vehicle, includes first, second, and third setpoint generation modules, a scaling module, and an actuator control module. The first setpoint generation module generates a first target value for an combustion parameter of an engine based on a predetermined value of a combustion stability of the engine. The second setpoint generation module generates a second target value for the combustion parameter based on a predetermined fuel efficiency. The scaling module generates a scaled value for the combustion parameter based on the first and second target values and a scalar value. The third setpoint generation module generates a third target value for the combustion parameter based on the first target value and the scaled value. The actuator control module controls at least one engine actuator associated with the combustion parameter based on the third target value.
