Abstract

On fait une estimation d'une région à indice de cétane à laquelle appartient du carburant apporté à un moteur à combustion interne, et une commande d'injection de carburant est effectuée (avant (t11)) dans un premier mode de performance en fonction de la région à indice de cétane estimée. On détermine si un raté d'allumage s'est produit ou non dans le moteur à combustion interne ; et, si l'on détermine qu'un raté d'allumage s'est produit (t11), une commande d'injection de carburant est effectuée dans un second mode de performance en fonction d'une région à indice de cétane qui est inférieure à la région à indice de cétane estimée. On détermine ensuite si n'importe quel carburant a été apporté au réservoir de carburant. Jusqu'à ce que l'on détermine que du carburant a été apporté lors de la réalisation de la commande d'injection de carburant dans le second mode de performance ((t11) à (t15)), le passage du second mode de performance mode au premier mode de performance pour commander l'injection de carburant est interdit.
