Abstract
An air dynamic steady state detection system for movement of a cam phaser of an internal combustion engine includes a cam position sensing device and a control module. The cam position sensing device generates a position signal based on a position of the cam phaser of the engine. The control module receives the position signal and applies first and second filters to the position signal to select either a transient or steady state condition. The control module also calculates an estimated air value based on the selection of the transient or steady state condition.
