The electric motor doesn't have to help spin the engine, as the momentum of the vehicle is already doing that. It may be true that the motor is helping spin the engine under DFCO, but it is also likely that manual mode causes regen, resulting in that increased braking feel.



That's good, cause i've got some worn ecopias and am about ready to swap to the energy savers.
RPM is not married to the Speed in "Drive Gear"

50mph or less it's 1,000 RPM engine speed w/DFCO
above 55 the RPM is 1500 w/DFCO i.e 85mph

what i meant about aggressive is it drops to v4 mode or v4-DFCO

if I have it in M1-4 gear then engine braking occurs RPM is married to the speed.


there is not much drag with the regeneration.. it's not very noticeable while in Drive.



on the accord you should be able to use an OBD reader to get the sensor voltage
