Engine Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Riding Comfort Improvement

When driving on an uneven road surface, the rotation of each wheel, the steering angle, and the requested traction torque are computed by the chassis control module and a command is transmitted to ECM.
Based on the command from the chassis control module, ECM corrects the engine torque that is outputted.
By correcting the engine torque that is outputted, the load of weight on the front and rear wheels stabilizes and riding comfort is improved.

- Engine torque is corrected according to driving conditions.

Steering Stability

The rotation of each wheel, the steering angle, and the requested traction torque are computed by the chassis control module and a command is transmitted to ECM.
Based on the command from the chassis control module, ECM corrects the engine torque that is outputted.
By correcting the engine torque that is outputted, vehicle behavior during cornering is smoothened.
