Abstract
An engine control system includes an electronic hardware engine controller and an actuator that operates at different positions to control operation of an engine. An actuator sensor measures an actuator position, and the engine controller generates a synthesized actuator position. In response to detecting a faulty actuator, a faulty actuator sensor, or both, the engine controller adjusts the position of the actuator based on the synthesized actuator position.
