A method and an apparatus for controlling combustion engine compression braking has the variable timing of the opening of at least one exhaust valve by an electronic control module within each one of the engine cylinders and within a time range of 15°-150° before the top-dead-center position of each cylinder piston during each compression stroke such that variable compression braking power levels, and attendant noise levels, can be obtained as required or desired dependent upon various road, vehicle, and vehicle location parameters. The system and method facilitate a wide range of braking power levels or values, the braking power is smoothly modulated as a result of all of the designated exhaust valves of the cylinders being activated, and the braking power levels can also be generated as a function of engine speed.
