Also with reference to figure 4, show the method for diagnostic pressure sensor 20 now.Describe although following step relates generally to the embodiment of Fig. 1-3, can revise these steps to be applied to other embodiments of the invention.
Described method can start from step 400.In step 402, can receive and/or produce the signal of sensor 208 and the value in storage 228.Described signal can comprise the measured pressure signal FRP of pressure transducer 20.Described signal can be sent to each module by HWIO equipment 210, for example initialization module 200, DCM diagnostic control module 202, fuel pump module 204 and Pressure testing module 206.
In step 404, when motor 12 had operated in one section predetermined period of idling mode, initialization module 200 produced initializing signal and sends it to DCM diagnostic control module 202.Otherwise control can be back to step 402.In step 406, DCM diagnostic control module 202 starts the fuel control module 203 of diagnostic system 18.In step 408, fuel control module 203 produces the command pressure signal CFP that is used for low pressure pump, and it equals the peak rate of flow of low pressure pump or in the prespecified range of its peak rate of flow.This fuel that has prevented system is supplied with error.
Also with reference to figure 5, show the exemplary graph according to Fig. 3 embodiment's fuel pressure signal now.The FRP of measured pressure signal shown in Fig. 5 is the example pressure signal of non-fault pressure transducer or pressure transducer 20 example when operating in non-fault state.Measured pressure signal FRPHigh, FRPLow are the example of fault pressure signal of fault pressure transducer and/or pressure transducer 20 example when operating in fault state.During the conventional idling mode of the motor 12 when example or pressure transducer 20 are in non-fault state, command pressure signal CFP (for example can equal the first pressure P 1,0.3mPa), measured pressure signal FRP can equal the 4th pressure P 4 (for example, 2mPa).
In step 410, fuel control module 203 sends command pressure signal CFP to DCM diagnostic control module 202 and fuel pump module 204.In step 412, fuel pump module 204 instruction low-pressure fuel pump 106 increase to predetermined supply pressure (for example, 500kPa) with the fuel pressure in low pressure fuel line 100.Described predetermined supply pressure can be demarcated and is stored in storage 228.For example, fuel pump module 204 instruction low-pressure fuel pump 106 (for example, 0.3mPa) increase to the 3rd pressure P 3 (for example, 0.5mPa) with command pressure signal CFP from the first pressure P 1.In step 414, fuel control module 203 sends a signal to fuel pump module 204, with the high pressure fuel pump 108 of stopping using, so that diagnostic pressure sensor 20.
In step 416, DCM diagnostic control module 202 activates the time of timer 216 wait prearranging quatitys stable period, with the fuel pressure in stabilizing low voltage fuel conduit 100, high-pressure fuel line 102 and fuel rail 24,26.For example, stable period timer 216 by HWIO equipment 210 access system clocks 220, the initial time mark when increasing command pressure signal CFP to receive.Stable period, timer 216 was based on from the CLK clock of system clock 220 receptions, initial time mark and current time mark being made comparisons.Time difference between stable period timer 216 time-based marks increases clocking value 218 stable period.
In step 418, when stable period clocking value 218 greater than predetermined stable period during StbzTime, control can proceed to step 420.Otherwise control can be back to step 416.Stable period clocking value 218 with predetermined stable period StbzTime make comparisons.For example, in Fig. 5, some A refers to the elapsed time of when by fuel pump module 204 increase command pressure signal CFP stable period of StbzTime.Point B refers to the concluding time of StbzTime stable period.Predetermined stable period of StbzTime from point A to point B represents to make the time length that the fuel pressure in low pressure fuel line 100, high-pressure fuel line 102 and fuel rail 24,26 can be stable.
In step 420, after predetermined stable period StbzTime, stable period timer 216 with stable period clocking value 218 reset to zero.In step 422, the counter 226 of interval between diagnosis timer 222 will guide mark X to be made as zero.X is that wherein K represents to be stored in the number of the pressure difference Δ P (X) in force value table 230 from zero integer to K.DCM diagnostic control module 202 calculates and stores the pressure difference Δ P (X) between command pressure signal CFP and measured pressure signal FRP.Measured pressure signal FRP represents non-fault pressure signal, and due to not working of high pressure fuel pump 108, it is equal to or less than command pressure signal CFP.Measured pressure signal FRP can be in the prespecified range of command pressure signal CFP.
Pressure difference Δ P (X) can calculate during predetermined diagnosis cycle DiagTime.Point B also refers to the elapsed time of predetermined diagnosis cycle DiagTime.Point C refers to the concluding time of predetermined diagnosis cycle DiagTime.Between an A and some B, due to not working of high pressure fuel pump 108, measured pressure signal FRP can (for example, 2mPa) be reduced to the second pressure P 2 (for example, 0.4mPa) from the 4th pressure P 4.Skew Ofs between P3 and P2 by pass high pressure fuel pump 108 and low, high-pressure fuel line 100,102 fuel flow friction or restriction cause.
In step 424, Pressure testing module 206 receives the fuel rail pressure signal by HWIO equipment 210 from pressure transducer 20, to produce measured pressure signal FRP.Measured pressure signal FRP can be one of fault pressure signal FRPHigh, FRPLow.In step 426, the counter 226 of interval between diagnosis timer 222 will guide mark X to add one.In step 428, Pressure testing module 206 sends measured pressure signal FRP to DCM diagnostic control module 202.Pressure difference Δ P (X) between DCM diagnostic control module 202 computations pressure signal CFP and measured pressure signal FRP.DCM diagnostic control module 202 can be determined pressure difference Δ P (X) by deducting measured pressure signal FRP from command pressure signal CFP.Pressure difference Δ P (X) can be stored in the force value table 230 of storage 228.During predetermined diagnosis cycle DiagTime, force value table 230 is upgraded by DCM diagnostic control module 202.
In step 430, DCM diagnostic control module 202 activates interval between diagnosis timer 222.Interval between diagnosis timer 222 is by HWIO equipment 210 access system clocks 220, to receive for example initial time mark when command pressure signal CFP increases.Interval between diagnosis timer 222 is made comparisons initial time mark and current time mark based on the CLK clock that receives from system clock 220.Time difference between interval between diagnosis timer 222 time-based marks increases interval between diagnosis clocking value 224.
In step 432, during greater than predetermined diagnosis cycle DiagTime, control can proceed to step 434 when interval between diagnosis clocking value 224.Otherwise control can be back to step 424.In step 434, after predetermined diagnosis cycle DiagTime, interval between diagnosis timer 222 resets to zero with interval between diagnosis clocking value 224.In step 436, DCM diagnostic control module 202 access force value tables 230 are to produce the middle pressure AVG Δ P of the pressure difference Δ P (X) that stores during predetermined diagnosis cycle DiagTime.The middle pressure AVG Δ P of the DCM diagnostic control module 202 poor Δ P of calculating pressure (X).Only as an example, middle pressure AVG Δ P can determine based on the summation of pressure difference.For example, middle pressure AVG Δ P can be determined by representation 1:
AVGΔP = Σ X = 1 K ΔP ( X ) K - - - ( 1 )
X indicates certain pressure difference, and Δ P (X) is pressure difference.
In step 438, when middle pressure AVG Δ P was offset NegErr less than predetermined negative, control can proceed to step 440.Otherwise control can proceed to step 442.For example, as shown in Figure 5, the first middle pressure can be the mean value of the pressure difference Δ P (X) between command pressure signal CFP and the first measured pressure signal FRPHigh.Pressure difference can be determined by deducting the first measured pressure signal FRPHigh from command pressure signal CFP.
Because the first measured pressure signal FRPHigh is greater than command pressure signal CFP, the first middle pressure is negative.When the first middle pressure was offset NegErr less than predetermined negative, DTC can be set as the fault of indicated pressure sensor 20.In step 440, DCM diagnostic control module 202 can produce DTC FaultH.The measured pressure signal that DTC FaultH indicated pressure sensor 20 is just producing greater than nominal value or actual value.The absolute value of predetermined negative skew NegErr is also greater than deviant Ofs.
In step 442, greater than predetermined when just being offset PosErr, control can proceed to step 444 as middle pressure AVG Δ P.Otherwise control can proceed to step 446.For example, as shown in Figure 5, the second middle pressure can be the mean value of the pressure difference Δ P (X) between command pressure signal CFP and the second measured pressure signal FRPLow.Pressure difference can be determined by deducting the second measured pressure signal FRPLow from command pressure signal CFP.
Because the second measured pressure signal FRPLow is less than command pressure signal CFP, the second middle pressure is positive number.Greater than predetermined when just being offset PosErr, DTC can be set as the fault of indicated pressure sensor 20 when the second middle pressure.In step 444, DCM diagnostic control module 202 can produce DTC FaultL.The measured pressure signal that DTC FaultL indicated pressure sensor 20 is just producing less than nominal value or actual value.The absolute value of predetermined negative skew PosErr is also greater than deviant Ofs.
The first and second measured pressure signal FRPHigh, FRPLow are the example of fault pressure signal of fault pressure transducer and/or the example that pressure transducer 20 operates in fault state.Measured pressure signal FRP can be one of two fault pressure signal FRPHigh, FRPLow.When measured pressure signal FRP is the first measured pressure signal FRPHigh, applying step 438.When measured pressure signal FRP is the second measured pressure signal FRPLow, applying step 442.
In step 446, fuel pump module 204 activates high pressure fuel pump 108 again.For example, after a C activated again, measured pressure signal FRP can (for example, 0.4mPa) increase to the 4th pressure P 4 (for example, 2mPa) from the second pressure P 2 at high pressure fuel pump 108.In step 448, fuel pump module 204 instruction low-pressure fuel pump 106 are reduced to predetermined supply pressure (for example, 300kPa) with the fuel pressure in low pressure fuel line 100.For example, at a C, fuel pump module 204 instruction low-pressure fuel pump 106 reduce command pressure signal CFP.Command pressure signal CFP can (for example, 0.5mPa) be reduced to the first pressure P 1 (for example, 0.3mPa) from the 3rd pressure P 3.Control can end at step 450.
Above-mentioned step means and is illustrative example; According to application, these steps can be sequentially, synchronously, side by side, continuously, be performed during overlapping period or with different orders.
The present invention instructs widely and can carry out in a variety of forms.Therefore, although the disclosure has comprised particular instance, due to the research of passing through accompanying drawing, specification and claims, other modification is also apparent for those of skill in the art, so true scope of the present invention should not limit like this.
