Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for limiting requested wheel torque during startup of a vehicle having an electrified powertrain. In one example, a method may include, responsive to a discharge power currently available being less than or equal to a threshold discharge power, operating the vehicle while requesting the wheel torque at a feedforward torque limit, the feedforward torque limit being based on the discharge power and a threshold vehicle speed. In this way, large shifts in wheel torque may be avoided upon startup of the vehicle, thereby reducing noise, vibration, and harshness at the electrified powertrain.

Abstract: A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, controlling an electrified vehicle by closing a contactor prior to a key on condition of the electrified vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for adjusting and diagnosing a position of a fuel tank isolation valve of a fuel system. In one example, a method may include adjusting the fuel tank isolation valve via electrical pulses and tracking a position of the FTIV by counting each of the electrical pulses. When a vacuum is created in the fuel system, the method may include verifying the position of the FTIV based on resulting fuel system pressures.
