ABSTRACT:
An exhaust brake control system for a vehicle drive train having an internal combustion engine with an exhaust system includes an exhaust brake valve in the exhaust system. Further, a controller controls the exhaust brake valve through a number of position commands from fully open to fully closed. Inputs to the controller affecting its operation include a speed sensor, a drive coupling sensor, a gear selection sensor, an overdrive gear sensor, an engine speed sensor, a throttle sensor, a pressure sensor and a warm-up sensor. A user interface both receives and sends information from and to the controller. The exhaust brake control system not only includes modulation of the exhaust brake, but also provides for control of a torque converter clutch, automatic transmission and overdrive. With throttled engines the intake throttle valve can be opened and the fuel supply disabled. Modulation of the exhaust brake valve is responsive to speed and acceleration. Control over the remaining engine and drive train components is used to enhance the operation of the exhaust brake valve.
