1. A system comprising:
- a mode module that generates a mode signal based on a temperature of an engine and at least one of a deceleration signal and a regenerative braking signal; and
an energy module that, based on the mode signal, increases cooling of a coolant of the engine during at least one of a deceleration event of a vehicle and a regenerative braking event,wherein the energy module, while increasing the cooling of the coolant, supplies an overvoltage to a cooling pump of the engine.

Abstract
A system includes a mode module and an energy module. The mode module generates a mode signal based on a temperature of an engine and at least one of a deceleration signal and a regenerative braking signal. The energy module, based on the mode signal, increases cooling of a coolant of the engine during at least one of a deceleration event of a vehicle and a regenerative braking event. The energy module, while increasing the cooling of the coolant, supplies an overvoltage to a cooling pump of the engine.
