A slider control module, based on a mode command: selectively extends pins into one or more slider actuators of a camshaft slider. Contact between the pins and the grooves in the slider actuator(s) during rotation of a camshaft slides the camshaft slider axially along the intake camshaft. An actual mode module: determines a last stored indicator of the mode command; commands the slider control module to extend one of the pins to slide the camshaft slider and achieve the last stored indicator of the mode command; and, based on whether the one of the pins extended in response to the command, indicates that an actual mode is either: (i) the last stored indicator of the mode command; or (ii) another mode. The mode command module updates the mode command to the actual mode.

The power supply determining part determines whether there is a power supplied from outside of the vehicle to the battery at start-up of the engine. The alarming part alarms to prompt a driver to manually operate the automatic stop control part when it is determined that there is a power supplied from the outside by the power supply determining part.

A machine may comprise a piston; a memory; and an electronic control module. The electronic control module may be configured to obtain information identifying a previous amount of wear of the piston pin bore and information identifying a wear limit; determine a base piston pin bore wear rate; calculate an effective piston pin bore wear rate based on the base piston pin bore wear rate; determine an amount of time between a current time and a time when the previous amount of wear of the piston pin bore was calculated; and calculate a current amount of wear of the piston pin bore based on the previous amount of wear, the amount of time, and the effective piston pin bore wear rate. The electronic control module may further be configured to calculate an amount of damage to the piston pin bore based on the current amount of wear and the wear limit.

A control device for a vehicle includes: a coasting control unit configured to, during normal traveling at a low speed within a predetermined range, cause a vehicle to travel through inertia by blocking power transmission between an engine and driving wheels by disengaging a power transmitting/blocking device that includes a first engaging portion connected to the engine and a second engaging portion connected to the driving wheels, and by stopping the engine; and a return control unit configured not to full-engage the power transmitting/blocking device while the engine is cranking by a motor in a case of returning from coasting traveling to normal traveling and to full-engage the power transmitting/blocking device after the motor stops.

A control device for an internal combustion engine for a vehicle having: an internal combustion engine; and an electric motor connected to an output shaft of the internal combustion engine and applying torque to the output shaft by use of electric power supplied from storage batteries. The control device automatically stops the internal combustion engine when an automatic stop condition is satisfied. The control device disables automatic stop from being carried out when an automatic stop disabling condition is satisfied. And the control device decreases an output of the internal combustion engine and increases an output of the electric motor when the automatic stop condition of the internal combustion engine is disabled and when the automatic stop condition is satisfied but the automatic stop disabling condition is not satisfied.
