List of main compensations for throttle valve opening angle and idle speed control


Compensations
Content
Stable idle compensation (immediately after start)
In order to stabilize idle speed immediately after start, target opening angle is kept big and then gradually reduced. Compensation values are set based on the engine coolant temperature.
Rotation speed feedback compensation (while idling)
In case there is a difference between the target idle speed and actual engine speed, engine-ECU compensates the throttle valve opening angle based on that difference.
Atmospheric pressure compensation
At high altitudes atmospheric pressure is less and the intake air density is low. So, the target opening angle is compensated based on atmospheric pressure.
Engine coolant temperature compensation
Compensation is made according to the engine coolant temperature. The lower the engine coolant temperature the greater the throttle valve opening angle.
Electric load compensation
Throttle opening angle is compensated according to electric load. The greater the electric load, the greater the throttle valve opening angle.
Compensation when shift is in D range
When transmission is changed from P or N range to some other range, throttle valve opening angle is increased to prevent reduction in engine speed.
Compensation when A/C is functioning
Throttle opening angle is compensated according to functioning of A/C compressor. While A/C compressor is being driven, the throttle valve opening angle is increased.
Power steering fluid pressure compensation
Throttle opening angle is compensated according to power steering functioning. When power steering oil pressure rises and power steering pressure fluid switch is ON, the throttle opening angle is increased.
