Abstract
An intake throttle valve (ITV) position determination module generates a desired ITV position based on at least one of a desired airflow in a regeneration mode and an exhaust braking request in an exhaust braking mode. An ITV position limitation module generates a limited ITV position based on the desired ITV position. A transition module detects a transition from the exhaust braking mode to the regeneration mode, wherein an ITV is controlled to the limited ITV position after the transition is detected.
