Abstract: A coolant control system of a vehicle includes a coolant pump that pumps coolant to a heat exchanger. A diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) injector injects a DEF into an exhaust system and receives coolant output from the heat exchanger. A fuel heat exchanger transfers heat between coolant and fuel flowing through the fuel heat exchanger. An engine control module is configured to determine a first requested speed for DEF injector cooling, determine a second requested speed for fuel cooling, and based on at least one of the first and second requested speeds, selectively increase at least one of: opening of a valve that controls a flow rate of fuel flowing from the fuel rail to the fuel tank, a flow rate of fuel from fuel injectors of an engine to the fuel tank, and a target speed of the coolant pump.

Abstract: A coolant control system of a vehicle includes a coolant pump that pumps coolant to a second radiator that is different than a first radiator that receives coolant from an engine of the vehicle. A diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) injector injects a DEF into an exhaust system and receives coolant output from the second radiator. A fuel heat exchanger transfers heat between coolant and fuel flowing therethrough. An engine control module is configured to determine a temperature of the DEF injector, control a duty cycle of the coolant pump, determine a vaporized condition of the coolant based on a DEF injector temperature, optionally further, in response to determining a vaporized condition of the coolant, implement a vapor purge by oscillating the duty cycle of the coolant pump, and optionally further identify a low-coolant condition of the coolant control system based on the vapor purges implemented during a time period.

Abstract: Methods for determining an irregular fuel request (IFR) for vehicle engines coupled to driveshafts via clutched transmissions are provided and include: determining an idle condition of the engine, generating one or more fuel requests during the idle condition, and determining an IFR based on a clutch control parameter and a fuel request generated during the idle condition. The idle condition of the engine is determined based on a vehicle speed and an engine speed if the vehicle speed and engine speed are below respective thresholds. An IFR is determined if a fuel request falls outside a range, and/or if the clutch control parameter is such that the clutch does not substantially impart load to the engine. The idle fuel request range is determined based on a combustion mode of the engine and/or a gear state of the transmission. The method further includes implementing a control action after determining an IFR.

Abstract: A diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) control system includes: a target module configured to determine a target rate of injection of a DEF by a DEF injector; an adjustment module configured to determine an adjustment based on a concentration of urea in the DEF; an adjusting module configured to adjust the target rate based on the adjustment to produce an adjusted rate of injection of the DEF by the DEF injector; and an injector control module configured to control injection of the DEF by the DEF injector based on the adjusted rate.

Abstract: An exemplary fuel filtering assembly includes a housing having a sidewall, a first surface, a strainer element, a first orifice, and a second orifice. The sidewall and the first surface define a fluid well. The strainer element is disposed in the fluid well and the first orifice and the second orifice are disposed in a channel defined by a first flow guidance member, a second flow guidance member, and a flow separating member. The first orifice is positioned at a first end of the channel and the second orifice is positioned at a second end of the channel opposite the first end and the first orifice is separated from the second orifice by the flow separating member.
