    摘要: A catalyst monitoring system is provided for monitoring catalyst efficiency in a catalytic converter of a motor vehicle. The catalyst monitoring system includes a catalyst monitor receiving electrical signals indicative of oxygen in the exhaust gas from a first oxygen sensor positioned between the vehicle's engine and the catalytic converter and a second oxygen sensor positioned downstream from the catalytic converter. Each of these input signals are filtered in the catalyst monitor such that a particular range of frequencies that encapsulate information regarding catalyst efficiency are passed. The filtered signals are then used to establish an amplitude ratio between the downstream oxygen signal and the upstream oxygen signal, such that the algorithm output linearly correlates to catalyst efficiency of the catalytic converter. Digital signal filtering is preferably implemented using a finite impulse response bandpass filter, a full-wave rectifier, a low pass filter, a sampler and a signal normalizer. A means for detecting a stabilized output signal may optionally be used in conjunction with the catalyst monitor.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are provided for detecting cylinder misfires in an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle by digitally filtering out noise-related signals to improve the signal to noise ratio. Crankshaft rotation is sensed and crankshaft velocities are measured for each cylinder. Changes in angular velocity are determined and correspond to each of a plurality of cylinder firing events. A window of consecutive changes in angular velocity are used with a digital filter. The digital filter contains filter coefficients which are determined from a frequency analysis for a given engine by distinguishing between actual misfire events and noise related event frequencies. From the analysis a cut off frequency between actual misfires and noise is determined which is then used to determine the filter coefficients. The digital filter generates a filter output for the current cylinder firing event and the filter output is preferably multiplied by a gain to provide a compensated filter output. The compensated filter output is compared to a threshold value and a misfire event is determined for the selected cylinder based on the comparison. A high pass filter may be employed to filter out low frequency noise-related signals such as those associated with a power train bobble. Similarly, a low pass filter can be used to filter out high frequency noise signals such as those associated with crankshaft torsional vibrations. Both high and low pass filters could be employed in the alternative by using a high pass filter at low engine speeds and a low pass at high engine speeds.

    摘要: A method is provided for monitoring catalyst efficiency in a catalytic converter of a motor vehicle, comprising the steps of: (a) detecting an oxygen level of an exhaust gas from the vehicle's engine by using an oxygen sensor positioned at the outlet of the catalytic converter; (b) terminating fuel flow to the vehicle's engine; (c) detecting a change in the oxygen level in response to terminating fuel flow; (d) determining a time period from termination of fuel flow to detection of the change in oxygen level; and then (e) compensating this time period with respect to an exhaust flowrate, such that the compensated time period is indicative of catalyst efficiency of the catalytic converter. More specifically, the exhaust flowrate is determined from a manifold absolute pressure and an engine rotational speed of the engine. To achieve reliable and consistent results, catalyst monitoring of the present invention is only enabled under preferred vehicle operating conditions. In addition, catalyst monitoring may also determine a second measurement of the catalyst by determining a similar time period for catalyst response once the fuel flow returns to the engine.
