In order to achieve the above object, a method of confirming an operating state of a continuous variable valve timing apparatus according to the present invention includes: (a) detecting the first falling edge of the first crank signal after a check start before operating the continuous variable valve timing apparatus; And detects the first falling edge at the next rotation, receives the engine RPM signal from the crank signal, checks the falling edge of the cam signal to find the cam time, and measures the timing of the camshaft. Confirming timing; (b) giving a full advance signal of the oil control valve of the continuously variable valve timing to the multi ECU of the vehicle; (c) checking the continuous variable valve timing after the full advancement; (d) determining NG or OK and displaying the same on the display device.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a schematic flowchart sequentially illustrating a method for checking an operating state of a continuous variable valve timing apparatus according to the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, the method for checking the operating state of the continuous variable valve timing apparatus according to the present invention is, first, before the operation of the continuous variable valve timing apparatus, after check start, and then, 1 of the first crank signal. Detects the falling falling edge, detects the falling first edge in the next rotation, receives the engine RPM signal from the crank signal, checks the falling edge portion of the cam signal, and obtains cam time, as shown in FIG. Through the process of measuring the timing of the cam shaft 21 as described above, the continuous variable valve timing device is checked.

Subsequently, a full advance signal of the oil control valve OVC of the continuously variable valve timing is given to a multi ECU which is an engine test ECU of the vehicle (step 120).

After the full advancement, the continuous variable valve timing is checked (step 130).

In addition, after confirming in step 130, NG or OK is determined and displayed on the display device as shown in FIG.

In this way, the feedback of the RPM signal is fed back to calculate the timing when the initial angle and the continuous variable valve timing of the camshaft 21 are fully advanced regardless of the falling edge. Check.

In the step 110, the first falling edge signal of the crankshaft 22 is detected and made a reference point. And the RPM is calculated by the following equation 1.

[Equation 1]

RPM = 3600 (sec) / 1 rounding edge time in 1 rotation (sec)-2 rounding edge time in seconds (sec)

The reference timing is obtained by the following equation.

[Equation 2]

360 degrees / {Cam Time (sec)-Cam Position Sensor Time 1 (sec) * RPM / 60}

In operation 120, a full advance signal is provided to an oil control valve (OCV) for supplying oil to the continuous variable valve timing device in order to operate the continuous variable valve timing device in the multi ECU. This advance signal consists of an electrical signal of + 5V.

Further, in the step 130, the confirmation of the continuous variable valve timing, first, the full-advanced continuous variable valve timing of the engine with the multi-ECU, and then obtains the continuous variable valve timing in the same manner as the method for obtaining the reference timing. )

Subsequently, the difference between the reference timing and the timing after advance is displayed on the operation screen (step 220).

Then, the equipment automatically determines whether the difference in timing satisfies the spec and takes it out as a repair (step 230).

Here, after the advancement, the engine control according to the explosion time change is added so that there is no relief of the engine even after the advancement, and an engine control map is added.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 23 denotes a timing belt and 24 denotes a timing mark.

As described above, in the method for checking the operating state of the continuously variable valve timing apparatus according to the present invention, a signal is supplied to the oil control valve using a multi ECU to feed back an engine RPM signal indicating that the timing of the cam shaft is changed, and the timing change amount is ± 2. Measure within the range to confirm the operational status of the continuous variable valve timing.
