<p>An improved method for operating an engine, a transmission, and an associated electronic control module for the engine includes setting maximum torque levels for the engine by the electronic control module. The electronic control module determines the speed ratio of the transmission and sets a first relatively high torque load when it is determined that the transmission is in direct drive. If the electronic control module determines that the transmission is in non-direct drive then it sets a lower maximum torque load. The present invention has recognized that when in direct drive, the transmission may transmit higher torque loads than it would be able to do when it is in a gear reduction mode. In this way, the present invention increases the maximum torque rating for the transmission at its highest speed ratio.</p> |
