Abstract

A control system for a gasoline engine comprising a turbocharger having a compressor and a turbine includes a throttle, vanes on the turbine and a controller. The throttle moves between open and closed positions to permit air into an intake manifold of the engine. The vanes move between open and closed positions to control an amount of exhaust air that flows through the turbine. The controller controls a transition into vane braking and is configured to: determine whether fuel is shut off; determine whether a wheel speed exceeds a threshold; determine whether a brake pedal input exceeds a threshold; determine whether a speed of the gasoline engine satisfies a threshold; and command the transition into vane braking based on a determination that the fuel is shut off, a wheel speed exceeds a threshold, a brake pedal input exceeds a threshold, and a speed of the gasoline engine satisfies a threshold.
