PROBLEM
The engine idle hold speed (turbo protection) of 800rpm is currently being overridden by the application layer minimum idle speed setting of 900rpm. The increase in engine speed is leading to turbo bearing damage during cold start conditions. Application layer minimum idle speed to be set to 800rpm from 900rpm. This will align the application minimum idle speed with the engine idle hold strategy speed. |
