Abstract: A method of conducting prognosis for an airflow management system for a combustion engine includes adjusting a throttle body valve position control signal in response to a detected airflow variation and monitoring an airflow variation compensation (AVC) value corresponding to a degree of adjustment of the control signal. The method also includes generating a throttle body coking severity metric based on at least a plurality of residual error values and the AVC value, and executing at least one response action based on the throttle body coking severity metric exceeding a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: An engine airflow management system includes an inlet portion to receive ambient air and a mass airflow (MAF) sensor to sense mass flow rate of air passed through the inlet portion. The airflow management system includes a throttle body to selectively restrict airflow and a throttle position sensor (TPS) to sense an opening value of the throttle body. The airflow management system includes an intake manifold in fluid connection with the throttle body configured to direct airflow to a number of combustion cylinders. A manifold air pressure (MAP) sensor detects air pressure at the intake manifold. A controller is programmed to monitor signals from each of the MAF sensor, TPS, and the MAP sensor and generate a residual error value based on a difference between a model-based value and a corresponding monitored signal. A response action is based on a trend of at least two residual error values.
