    摘要: A method and system for diagnosing catalyst operation in an internal combustion engine (32) having a two-bank, three EGO sensor structure (38,42,46) includes monitoring when the EGO sensors switch states between rich and lean and determining the ratio between a switch count of the post-catalyst EGO sensor signal and a switch count of a pre-catalyst EGO sensor signal over a selected time period. If the exhaust bank is a one-sensor bank having only a post-catalyst EGO sensor (46) and not a pre-catalyst EGO sensor, the system uses the switch count from the pre-catalyst EGO sensor (38) in the two-sensor bank to calculate the switch ratio, thereby allowing calculation of two switch ratios without two matched pairs of EGO sensors. The switch ratio indicates the efficiency of the catalyst and may be compared with later-generated ratios to monitor converter efficiency over time.

    摘要: A method and system for controlling the air/fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine (12) having a first group of cylinders and a second group of cylinders. The first group of cylinders is coupled to a catalyst (20) and at least one oxygen sensor (18,22), which provides a first feedback signal. The second group of cylinders is coupled to a catalyst (24) and a post-catalyst oxygen sensor (26), which provides a second feedback signal. A controller (202) uses the first and second feedback signals to calculate a short-term air/fuel bias value for the second group of cylinders. The controller (202) also calculates a new long-term air/fuel bias value corresponding to the current engine speed and engine. The new long-term air/fuel bias value is based on a previously-calculated long-term air/fuel bias value calculated for the same engine load and speed. A total air/fuel bias value is calculated based on the short-term air/fuel bias value and the long-term air/fuel bias value. The new long-term air/fuel bias value is stored for future calculations.

    摘要: A method and system for controlling the operation of "lean-burn" internal combustion engines determines a current rate of vehicle NO x emissions, and determines a threshold value for permissible vehicle NO x emissions based on at least one current value for the intake air-fuel ratio, engine speed, engine load (e.g., brake torque, manifold air pressure, or throttle position), and/or vehicle speed. A differential NO x emissions rate is calculated as the difference between the current rate and the threshold rate, and the differential rate is accumulated over time to obtain a differential measure representing the amount by which cumulative NO x emissions have fallen below permissible levels therefor. Lean engine operation is disabled when the differential NO x emissions measure exceeds a predetermined excess vehicle NO x emission value. In this manner, vehicle NO x emissions are favourably controlled even when the engine is operated "off-cycle," i.e., under operating conditions falling outside of the FTP driving cycles.

    摘要: An EGR system for an internal combustion engine (105) comprises an EGR valve (150) disposed in an EGR recirculation conduit (125) involves estimating exhaust gas temperature at an engine exhaust manifold (130). An exhaust gas temperature drop between the exhaust manifold and the EGR valve (150) is estimated and a time constant is determined that models the exhaust gas temperature as a function of EGR mass flow rate so that exhaust gas temperature at the EGR valve (150) can be estimated by adjusting the estimated exhaust gas temperature at the exhaust manifold (130) by the exhaust gas temperature drop and the time constant.

    摘要: A method for controlling cycling of an air conditioning compressor (220) coupled to an internal combustion engine (10) interrupts normal cycling based on operation conditions. In addition, normal engaged and disengaged cycling durations are adaptively estimated in real-time. The method of the present invention achieves improved fuel economy and improved drive feel. As an example, improved fuel economy is achieved by engaging the compressor during braking or when the engine is being driven by the vehicle. As another example, improved drive feel is achieved by engaging the compressor during transient conditions when drive feel is unaffected.
