Abstract
Generating powertrain torque versus throttle angle position data is done in order to, in effect, linearize the relationship between the two. The results improve pressure control through a reduction in slip during a dry road to ice transition, and other maneuvers where large surface friction coefficent changes are common and may be encountered.
