Abstract
A control system for an engine comprising a turbocharger includes a cold light off catalyst (CLOC), a main catalyst, a CLOC valve, and a controller. The CLOC is positioned in a bypass passage around a turbine of the turbocharger. The main catalyst is disposed downstream of the turbine and the CLOC. The CLOC valve selectively routes exhaust flow from the engine between the turbine and the CLOC. The controller determines whether a temperature of the main catalyst is less than a threshold; commands a CLOC mode wherein the CLOC valve routes at least some exhaust to the CLOC based on the temperature being less than the threshold; determines whether a boost is requested at the engine; determines whether a full turbine input is needed to satisfy the requested boost; and disables the CLOC mode based on a determination that a full turbine input is needed.
