- FIG. 1 schematic diagrams for an ABS controller 10 which is installed in a 4x4 vehicle.
- the ABS controller 10 includes a "4x4" port 11.
- the 4x4 port 11 receives an input signal from a transfer case 12 which is included in a four wheel drive vehicle.
- the transfer case 12 includes a status port 13 which is connected to the 4x4 port 12 of the ABS controller 10.
- the transfer case 12 generates a status signal at the status signal port 13.
- the status signal consists of a pulse train which alternates between ground and a fixed positive voltage, such as five volts.
- the frequency of the status signal is indicative of the whether the transfer case is in the 4x2 or 4x4 operating mode.
- an eight Hertz status signal is generated at the status port 13 when the transfer case 12 is in the 4x2 mode and a four Hertz status signal is generated when the transfer case 12 is in the 4x4 mode.
- the ABS controller 10 is continuously receiving either a four or an eight Hertz signal at the 4x4 port 11.
- the control algorithm in the ABS controller 10 is responsive to the frequency of the transfer case status signal to provide an appropriate ABS brake cycle response.
- the same ABS hardware is installed in two wheel and four wheel drive vehicles. Either a 4x2 or 4x4 control algorithm, which corresponds to the particular vehicle drive train, is loaded into the ABS controller 10.
- the connection of the controller 4x4 port 11 for a 4x2 vehicle is illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3.
- a 4x2 vehicle does not have a transfer case, and the 4x4 port 1 1 can be held "LOW" by electrically connecting the 4x4 port 11 a vehicle ground 15, as shown in Fig. 2.
- the 4x4 port 11 can be held "HIGH” by electrically connecting the port 11 to a fixed voltage supply 16, as shown in Fig. 3.
- the fixed voltage supply 16 is an available voltage source, such as, for example, a regulated five volts supplied by the ABS controller 10 or a nominal 12 volts supplied by the vehicle power supply.
- the present invention contemplates an installation verification algorithm which is responsive to the voltage or signal present at the ABS controller 4x4 port 11 to determine whether the controller 10 has been installed in the correct vehicle. Additionally, for a 4x4 vehicle, the algorithm can detect a malfunction of the transfer case 12.
- Fig. 4 there is shown a flow chart for an installation verification algorithm which would be included as a subroutine in a control algorithm for a 4x2 vehicle having the ABS controller 4x4 port 11 grounded, as shown in Fig. 2. The algorithm is called during each iteration of the control algorithm. In functional block 20, the 4x4 port 11 is read. If there is no voltage at the
- the content of the temporary storage register is compared to zero with an IF... THEN logic statement.
- the algorithm follows a "FALSE path", which is the right branch in Fig. 4, and transfers to functional block 22 where a counter labeled "FALSE 4X2" is decremented by one.
- the algorithm then returns to the main control algorithm through RETURN block 23. For each iteration that the algorithm follows the FALSE path to functional block
- the counter FALSE 4X2 is decremented until the counter reaches zero.
- the algorithm follows a "TRUE path", which is to the left in Fig. 4, and transfers to functional block 24 where the counter FALSE 4X2 is incremented by five.
- the counter FALSE 4x2 is incremented until the counter reaches a maximum of 255, which corresponds to 51 iterations.
- the algorithm continues to a second decision block 25.
- the counter FALSE 4X2 is compared to a threshold value, which in the preferred embodiment is 250.
- the algorithm returns to the main control algorithm through RETURN block 23. If the counter FALSE 4x2 is equal to or exceeds the threshold value in the second decision block 25, the algorithm transfers from decision block 25 to functional block 26 where an error code is set and an ignition fault IGNFLT subroutine is called.
- the IGNFLT subroutine disables the ABS controller 10 so that the ABS is inoperative.
- the IGNFLT subroutine also illuminates a warning lamp (not shown) to alert the vehicle operator of a malfunction.
- the control module communications continue to function to allow diagnosis of the problem. The operation of the installation verification algorithm will now be explained. If the ABS controller 10 is correctly installed in 4x2 vehicle with the 4x4 port connected to ground, zero voltage will appear at the 4x4 port 11.
- the ABS controller 10 Each time the vehicle ignition is turned on, the ABS controller 10 will be activated in a monitoring mode. During each iteration of the control algorithm, the installation verification algorithm will be called. The verification algorithm will read the zero voltage at the 4x4 port 11 and a zero will be loaded into the temporary storage register. Accordingly, the first decision block 21 will produce a FALSE indication and the algorithm will follow the FALSE path to decrement the FALSE 4x2 counter by one. Following the iteration of the installation verification algorithm, the operation of the ABS controller 10 is returned to the control algorithm.
- the ABS controller 10 If the ABS controller 10 is installed in 4x2 vehicle, but the 4x4 port is incorrectly connected to voltage supply, a voltage will appear at the 4x4 port 11.
- the verification algorithm will read the voltage at the 4x4 port 11 and a one will be loaded into the temporary storage register. Accordingly, the first decision block 21 will produce a TRUE indication and the algorithm will follow the TRUE path to increment the FALSE 4x2 counter by five. Following the iteration of the installation verification algorithm, the operation of the ABS controller 10 is returned to the control algorithm; however, upon each successive iteration of the control algorithm, the FALSE 4x2 counter will again be incremented by five. Upon the FALSE 4x2 counter being equal to, or exceeding, 250, which corresponds to 50 iterations of the algorithm, the second decision block 25 will cause the algorithm to transfer to functional block 26 and the ABS controller 10 will be disabled.
- the 4x4 port 11 will be connected to the status signal port 15 of the vehicle transfer case 14. As described above, the voltage at the 4x4 port 11 will alternate between ground and a positive voltage. Accordingly, over a period of time, the installation verification algorithm will read a FALSE zero voltage for approximately half of the iterations and a TRUE positive voltage during approximately half of the iterations. As discussed above, the FALSE path to the right in Fig. 2 is followed when a FALSE voltage is read, which results in the FALSE 4x2 counter being decremented by one. Alternately, the TRUE path to the left in Fig.
- the FALSE 4x2 counter is incremented by five. Because the FALSE 4x2 counter is incremented by a larger amount than it is decremented, after a number of iterations, the FALSE 4x2 counter will exceed the threshold and the controller 10 will be disabled.
- the present invention contemplates that a special test tool would be included at the end of the vehicle assembly line to exercise the ABS controller 10 to verify with the algorithm that the controller 10 is properly installed. Because at least 51 iterations are required to disable the ABS controller 10, a random false reading at the 4x4 port will not cause a corresponding false disablement of the controller 10.
- FIG. 5 A flow chart for an alternate embodiment of the installation verification algorithm is shown in Fig. 5.
- the alternate embodiment of the algorithm is included as a subroutine in a control algorithm for a 4x2 vehicle having the ABS controller 4x4 port held high, as shown in Fig. 3.
- the algorithm is called during each iteration of the control algorithm.
- the logic blocks of the flow chart in Fig. 5 are identical to corresponding logic blocks in the flow chart shown in Fig. 4 and accordingly have the same numerical designators.
- the branches of the algorithm extending from the first decision block 21 have been reversed from the directions shown for the corresponding branches in Fig. 4. Accordingly, when a voltage is detected at the 4x4 port 11 , the TRUE path leads to functional block 22 where the FALSE 4x2 counter is decremented by one. Alternately, when no voltage is detected at the 4x4 port 11 , the FALSE path leads to functional block 24 where the FALSE 4x2 counter is incremented by five. Thus, as was discussed above, a continuous voltage at the 4x4 port 11 will simply incrementally decrease the FALSE 4x2 counter to zero. Alternately, zero voltage readings, which would correspond to the configurations shown in Figs.
- Fig. 6 there is shown a flow chart for an installation verification algorithm which would be included as a subroutine in an ABS control algorithm for a 4x4 vehicle having the ABS controller 4x4 port electrically connected to a 4WD transfer case 14, as shown in Fig. 1.
- a transfer case status signal having one of two frequencies is generated by the transfer case 14 and applied to the 4x4 port 11 of the ABS controller 10. While the transfer case status signal in the preferred embodiment has a nominal frequency of either four or eight Hz, the signal frequency can vary slightly from these values.
- the ABS controller 10 is responsive to a status signal within a range of 3.6 Hz to 4.4 Hz to operate in a 4WD mode and the controller 10 is responsive to a status signal within a range of 7.2 Hz to 8.8 Hz to operate in a 2 WD mode
- the installation verification subroutine is called during each iteration of the ABS control algorithm.
- the verification subroutine checks the frequency of the transfer case status signal present at the 4x4 port 11 on the ABS controller 10. As long as the frequency of the transfer case status signal remains within the predetermined acceptable ranges described above, normal operations occur. However, if the frequency of the transfer case status signal drifts out of the acceptable ranges and remains outside for longer than a predetermined time period, the algorithm will disable the ABS controller 10. Furthermore, if a constant voltage, or no voltage, appears at the 4x4 port 11 , which would occur if the controller 10 is installed in a 4x2 vehicle as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, the algorithm also will disable the controller 10.
- the frequency of the transfer case status signal is read in functional block 40.
- the frequency of the transfer case status signal is compared to the 4WD frequency range in a first pair of decision blocks 41 and 42.
- the frequency is compared to the lower limit for the 4WD frequency range, which is 3.6 Hz in the preferred embodiment. If the frequency is less than 3.6 Hz, the algorithm transfers to a second pair of decision blocks, 43 and 44, where, as will be described below, the frequency of the signal is compared to the 2WD drive frequency range.
- the algorithm transfers to the second decision block 42 where the frequency is compared to the upper limit for the 4WD frequency range, which is 4.4 Hz in the preferred embodiment. If the frequency is greater than 4.4 Hz, the algorithm transfers to the second pair of decision blocks, 43 and 44. If the signal frequency is equal to, or less than, 4.4 Hz, the frequency is within the 4WD frequency range and the algorithm transfers to functional block 45.
- a STATE flag is set to indicate that the transfer case is in the 4x4 mode and an ERROR TIME counter is cleared. The STATE flag is utilized by the ABS control algorithm to provide the corresponding response during an anti-lock brake cycle. The algorithm then returns to the ABS control algorithm through RETURN block 46.
- the algorithm transfers to a third decision block 43 where the signal frequency is compared to the lower limit for the 2WD frequency range, which is 7.2 Hz in the preferred embodiment. If the frequency is less than 7.2 Hz, the algorithm transfers to an error subroutine which begins with functional block 50. The error subroutine will be described below.
- the algorithm transfers to a fourth decision block 44 where the frequency is compared to the upper limit for the 2 WD frequency range, which is 8.8 Hz in the preferred embodiment. If the frequency is greater than 8.8 Hz, the algorithm transfers to the functional block 50 to start the error subroutine. If the signal frequency is equal to, or less than, 8.8 Hz, the frequency is within the 2 WD frequency range and the algorithm transfers to functional block 55.
- a STATE flag is set opposite from the setting utilized in functional block 45 to indicate that the transfer case is in the 4x2 mode and the ERROR TIME counter is cleared. For example, if a zero for the STATE flag indicates that the transfer case is in the 4x4 operating mode, then a one for the STATE flag indicates that the transfer case is in the 4x2 operating mode. Alternately, if a one for the STATE flag indicates that the transfer case is in the 4x4 operating mode, then a zero for the STATE flag indicates that the transfer case is in the.4x2 operating mode. The algorithm then returns to the ABS control algorithm through RETURN block 46.
- the algorithm transfers to functional block 50 where the "ERROR TIME" counter is incremented by one.
- the algorithm then proceeds to an ERROR TIME decision block 60 where the ERROR TIME counter is compared to a predetermined ERROR TIME threshold value which corresponds to a preselected time period. If the ERROR TIME counter is less than the ERROR TIME threshold, the algorithm transfers through RETURN block 46 to the ABS control algorithm.
- the algorithm transfers to functional block 61 to indicate a fault condition.
- an e ⁇ or code is set and the ignition fault IGNFLT subroutine is called in functional block 61.
- the IGNFLT subroutine disables the ABS controller 10 so that the ABS is inoperative. Additionally, the IGNFLT subroutine illuminates a warning lamp to alert the vehicle operator of a malfunction.
- the control module communications continue to function to allow diagnosis of the problem.
- the frequency of the transfer case status signal is read, the frequency is compared to the 4WD frequency range. If the frequency is within the 4WD frequency range, the 4x4 STATE flag is set and the ERROR TIME counter is cleared. The algorithm then returns to the ABS control algorithm.
- the frequency of the transfer case status signal is outside of the 4WD frequency range, the frequency is compared to the 2WD frequency range. If the frequency is within the 2WD frequency range, the 4x2 STATE flag is set and the ERROR TIME counter cleared. The algorithm then returns to the ABS control algorithm. If the status signal frequency is outside of both the 4WD and 2 WD frequency ranges, the ERROR TIME counter is incremented by one and the algorithm returns to the ABS control algorithm. If the status signal remains outside of the 4WD and 2WD frequency ranges during subsequent iterations, the ERROR TIME counter continues to be incremented until the ERROR TIME threshold is reached, at which time the ABS controller 10 is disabled. Thus, the algorithm detects a malfunction of the transfer case 14 during operation of a 4x4 vehicle.
- the algorithm will detect an incorrect installation in a 4x2 vehicle.
- the 4x4 port 1 1 is connected to either ground or a fixed voltage. Either condition will result in a non-alternating, or zero frequency, signal at the 4x4 port 11.
- the algorithm will recognize a zero frequency signal as being outside of the 4WD and 2WD frequency ranges and will increment the ERROR TIME counter during each iteration.
- the algorithm Upon the ERROR TIME counter value reaching the ERROR TIME threshold, the algorithm will transfer to functional block 61 and disable the controller 10.
- a random false signal will not cause the algorithm to disable the controller 10 since the ERROR TIME threshold would not be reached.
- a special test tool would be included at the end of the vehicle assembly line to exercise the ABS controller 10 and verify with the algorithm that the controller 10 is properly installed.
- the verification algorithms preclude operation of the ABS controller 10 if the unit is later transferred to another vehicle which does not have a drive train which corresponds to the control algorithm. Such a situation could occur if the controller were removed from a vehicle in a used auto parts lot and then resold on the open market.
- the principle and mode of operation of this invention have been explained and illustrated in its preferred embodiment. However, it must be understood that this invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically explained and illustrated without departing from its spirit or scope. For example, while the preferred embodiment has been illustrated and described for an ABS, it will be appreciated that the invention can be practiced with other systems, such as, for example, traction control and vehicle stability systems.
