Abstract
An engine control module comprises a base reserve module, a power steering reserve module, a reserve torque module, first and second engine actuator modules, and an engine speed control module. The base reserve module determines a base reserve torque. The power steering reserve module determines a power steering reserve torque. The reserve torque module determines a first reserve torque based on the base reserve torque, the power steering reserve torque, and at least one of an oil temperature of an engine and a barometric pressure. The first and second engine actuator modules control first and second actuators of the engine, respectively. The engine speed control module instructs the first engine actuator module to produce a first torque output from the engine and instructs the second engine actuator module to produce a second torque output from the engine.
