Abstract
A control system for a vehicle includes a first counter that indicates a first count of a number of cylinders of an engine of the vehicle that are fueled. A second counter indicates a second count of the number of cylinders that are fueled. A control module determines a secure count based on the first count and the second count. The control module adjusts torque output of the engine based on the secure count.
