Claim 9:
10. A system, comprising:
a cylinder deactivation (CDA) system comprising a controller having a processor and instructions stored in non-transitory machine-readable media, the instructions configured to cause the controller to:
generate an initial life factor for a component of the CDA system;
initiate a CDA mode for an engine;
determine an actual life factor for the component by comparing a number of switching events of a cylinder in the CDA mode to a number of cycles of the cylinder in the CDA mode;
determine an expected life of the component;
compare the actual life factor to the initial life factor; and
modify operation of the engine in the CDA mode to adjust the actual life factor.
