A torque response adaptation system for a vehicle includes an engine control module (ECM) and a torque requestor module connected to the ECM via a controller area network (CAN) and configured to determine at least one of a torque response delay adaptation and a torque response magnitude adaptation, wherein the torque response delay and magnitude adaptations corresponds to a time delay and a magnitude difference, respectively, between a torque request provided to the ECM via the CAN and a corresponding torque response returned from the ECM via the CAN, generate a modified torque request for the ECM based on the at least one of the torque response delay adaptation and the torque response magnitude adaptation, and transmit, to the ECM via the CAN, the modified torque request, wherein receipt of the modified torque request by the ECM causes the ECM to increase performance of the vehicle.

Vehicle torque response and magnitude adaption based on controller area network response

A launch control system for a vehicle having a torque generating system to generate and transfer drive torque to a transmission includes a driver interface configured to display information to and receive input from a driver of the vehicle. A controller is in signal communication with the driver interface, the torque generating system, and the transmission. The controller is configured to (i) display, via the driver interface, a torque reduction request for a gear shift of the transmission, (ii) receive, from the driver via the driver interface, a driver selected torque reduction request for the gear shift, and (iii) perform the driver selected torque reduction request at the torque generating system during the gear shift.
