Engine Drag Control

When the driver releases the throttle, and the drag from the engine overcomes the frictional force between the tire and the road, engine drag control becomes active.

The EBCM sends a torque request signal to the ECM, which increases the torque at the wheels. This stabilizes the wheels by reducing the slip at the driven wheels.

When engine drag control is active, the driven wheels are controlled to a target below the non-driven wheels.
