A method for calibrating a drive of a throttle valve of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes detecting whether the internal combustion engine is currently running or is not running. The method further includes activating the drive to displace the throttle valve into a target position if it is detected that the internal combustion engine is currently not running. The method further includes calibrating a characteristic at the target position. A correlation between a rotor position of the drive and an output voltage of a throttle valve angle transducer follows a characteristic.

A control device for an internal combustion engine controls a control object device based on an output value of a relative angle sensor that detects a relative angle of an output shaft of an actuator, and an output value of an absolute angle sensor that detects an absolute angle of a drive shaft coupled to the output shaft of the actuator via a speed reducer. In this event, the control device for the internal combustion engine corrects an output value of the absolute angle sensor based on an absolute angle of the drive shaft that is obtained from an output value of the relative angle sensor using, as a reference point, an output value of the absolute angle sensor at the start-up of the internal combustion engine, and an output value of the absolute angle sensor.

A prime mover control device of a work vehicle equipped with a torque converter includes: a speed ratio calculation unit that calculates a speed ratio of the torque converter; and a rotational speed limit unit that, when a speed ratio falls within a preset speed ratio range, limits a maximum rotational speed of the prime mover to be lower as compared with a maximum rotational speed set when a speed ratio falls without the preset speed ratio range. When a state in which the speed ratio calculated by the speed ratio calculation unit falls within the preset speed ratio range is maintained for a predetermined time period, the rotational speed limit unit changes a maximum rotational speed of the prime mover to a higher maximum rotational speed than the limited maximum rotational speed limited to be lower by the rotational speed limit unit.

An electric waste gate valve control device controls a waste gate valve provided in a waste gate passage that bypasses a portion between an upstream and a downstream of a turbine driven by exhaust of an engine and opening/closing the waste gate passage by an electric actuator. The electric waste gate valve control device includes, a position sensor that detects a position of the waste gate valve; an actuator controller that controls the electric actuator such that an opening degree of the waste gate valve becomes a target opening degree; and a fully closed position learning unit that performs fully closed position learning to acquire the position of the waste gate valve at a time when the electric actuator is driven to bring the waste gate valve into a fully closed state.

A system includes an electronic fuel injection system of an engine, the electronic fuel injection system including an electronic governor control unit for controlling various functions of the engine.

Methods and systems are provided for determining a reference position associated with a variable geometry member. One exemplary method involves actuating the variable geometry member in a first direction with a first reference torque and obtaining a first position associated with the variable geometry member in response to the first reference torque. After actuating the variable geometry member with the first reference torque, the method continues by actuating the variable geometry member in the first direction with a second reference torque that is less than the first reference torque, obtaining a second position associated with the variable geometry member in response to the second reference torque, and identifying the second position as the hard-stop reference position when a difference between the first position and the second position is less than a fault threshold.
