Pedal map compensation system for a vehicle

A pedal map compensation system for a vehicle includes one or more controllers that execute instructions to receive an accelerator pedal position of an accelerator pedal, a vehicle speed signal, and a signal indicating an active driver mode. The controllers select an unmodified pedal map saved in memory based on the active driver mode, where the unmodified pedal map includes a dead pedal region representing an area where the accelerator pedal continues to be depressed without the vehicle generating a corresponding increase in output axle torque. The dead pedal region is created when a raw system torque output is limited by a raw maximum system capacity. The one or more controllers perform filtering and rate limiting with respect to the maximum axle torque output value of the powertrain associated with the at least one system blending input to determine a modified maximum system capacity of a modified pedal map.
