Abstract

Sur un moteur (M) avec installation d'allumage (1,2,3,4) et/ou d'injection à commande individuelle par cylindre, et avec capteur (7) coopérant avec une cible rotative (8) à repère de position (10) du P.M.H. d'un cylindre de référence, le procédé consiste à commander sur le cylindre de référence une perturbation autre qu'un arrêt de l'injection et de nature à provoquer une variation du couple moteur, à détecter la variation de couple moteur, par la variation d'un signal représentatif du couple gaz, qui résulte de la commande de perturbation, à rapprocher les instants de cette commande et de la détection de sa conséquence sur le couple moteur pour en déduire la phase du cylindre de référence à l'instant de la commande de perturbation, et ensuite la phase des autres cylindres du moteur.On an engine (M) with ignition system (1,2,3,4) and / or injection system individually controlled by cylinder, and with cooperating sensor (7) with a rotary target (8) with position mark (10) of the P.M.H. of a cylinder of reference, the method consists in ordering on the reference cylinder a disturbance other than stopping the injection and likely to cause a variation of the engine torque, to detect the variation of engine torque, by the variation of a signal representative of the gas torque, which results from the disturbance control, at reconcile the moments of this command and the detection of its consequence on the engine torque to deduce the phase of the reference cylinder at the time of the disturbance control, and then the phase of the other cylinders of the engine.

Application en particulier aux moteurs à quatre temps à allumage et/ou injection séquentielle.
