    摘要: A method of monitoring an exhaust gas sensor coupled in an engine exhaust is provided. The method comprises indicating exhaust gas sensor degradation based on a difference between a first set of estimated parameters of a rich operation model and a second set of estimated parameters of a lean operation model, the estimated parameters based on commanded lambda and determined lambda values collected during selected operating conditions. In this way, sensor degradation may be indicated with data collected in a non-intrusive manner.

    摘要: A system and method for controlling an internal combustion engine for low emissions include an inner feedback control loop to control the engine fuel/air ratio with feedback provided by a first exhaust gas sensor and an outer feedback control loop that modifies the fuel/air ratio reference provided to the inner feedback control loop based on feedback signals provided by the first exhaust gas sensor and a second exhaust gas sensor. The fuel/air ratio reference signal controller adapts to the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst by modeling the catalyst as an integrator with an unknown gain and estimating the catalyst gain based on the first and second exhaust gas sensor signals. Using the estimated catalyst gain, an adaptive controller gain factor is determined and subsequently used to determine the fuel/air ratio reference signal provided to the fuel/air ratio controller of the inner feedback control loop.

    摘要: A valve timing system 10 is provided for dynamically suppressing cylinder knock within an internal combustion engine. The engine is of the type including several cylinders 12, each having intake and exhaust valves 14, 16. Valve timing system 10 includes a controller 24, sensors 30, and actuators 26, 28 which selectively actuate valves 14, 16 in response to signals received from controller 24. Controller 24 identifies knocking within one or more of cylinder(s) 12, and provides a modified control signal to the valve actuators 26, 28 which are associated with the identified cylinder(s). The modified control signal alters the duration in which the valves 14, 16 remain open, thereby suppressing knocking within the cylinder(s) without adversely effecting the vehicle's fuel economy or emissions.

    摘要: An air/fuel control method for an engine including a NOx sensor in operative relationship to a catalytic converter. The method comprises the steps of providing a base fuel signal related to a quantity of air inducted into the engine and generating a bias signal for biasing the base fuel signal towards a leaner air/fuel ratio. The output of the NOx sensor is monitored to detect a predetermined exhaust gas NOx value representing a predefined NOx conversion efficiency. The base fuel signal is then modified as a function of the bias signal corresponding to the predetermined exhaust gas NOx value to maintain the catalytic converter within a desired efficiency range. In one aspect of the invention, the process of detecting the edge of the NOx conversion efficiency window is executed at predetermined time periods measured by the distance the vehicle traveled, or the elapsed time since last base fuel value modification.
