BUCKING DAMPER OPERATION[MZ-CD 1.6 (Y6)]


id0140b2179000

•  There is a so‐called software filter between the accelerator pedal calculation and the calculation unit.
•  When the accelerator is actuated or released suddenly, this causes huge changes in injected fuel quantity requirements and thereby also in the torque produced.
•  This abrupt load change causes excitation in the engine/transmission assembly’s flexible mountings which then results in unpleasant bucking oscillations (engine speed fluctuations). These are reduced by the bucking damper as follows:
―  As engine speed increases, comparatively less fuel is injected, as engine speed decreases more fuel is injected.
•  In addition, the software filter prevents an abrupt drop in engine speed when changing gear.
