Abstract
A response time compensation system for controlling engine operation in activated and deactivated modes in a displacement on demand engine includes a LOMA system that regulates pressurized fluid flow to switch engine operation between the activated and the deactivated modes and a count module that monitors a cycle count of the LOMA system. A response factor module determines a response factor of the LOMA system based on the cycle count and a compensation module generates a compensated response time of the LOMA system based on the response factor.
