Threshold OVERBOOST Monitoring

For the pickup applications, use of the engine brake function can result in conditions where a momentary slow response of the turbocharger vanes to movement can result in a transient high pressure condition that can be erroneously detected as overboost by the pressure based monitor. Instead, a monitor of exhaust pressure above a maximum threshold is used as the threshold overboost monitor.
