Abstract: A method for operating an exhaust gas recirculation system using rationality diagnostics for an automobile vehicle includes: estimating an oxygen storage content (OSC) of a catalytic converter of a vehicle; comparing an amount of oxygen stored in the catalytic converter to an OSC threshold; initiating a closed oxygen storage control (COSC) event for a predetermined one of multiple cylinders of an engine of a vehicle if the OSC threshold is met or exceeded, the COSC event targeting a rich air-fuel equivalence ratio (EQR) for the predetermined one of the multiple cylinders; and directing a fuel injector communicating with the predetermined one of the multiple cylinders to operate the predetermined one of the multiple cylinders at the rich EQR.

Abstract: A driver circuit drives a heater associated with a sensor in an exhaust system of a vehicle at a duty cycle. A feedback circuit generates a feedback signal indicating a temperature of the sensor. A ramp circuit outputs a first ramping set point indicating a first rate at which the temperature of the sensor is to be changed over a first time period after an engine of the vehicle is turned on, and a second ramping set point indicating a second rate at which the temperature of the sensor is to be changed after the first time period until the temperature of the sensor reaches a predetermined temperature. An error circuit generates first and second error signals based on the feedback signal and the first and second ramping set points. A controller controls the duty cycle of the driver circuit to drive the heater based on one or more gains.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and vehicle apparatuses are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a method is provided that includes obtaining a set of inputs, by a processor, pertaining to one or more features that are used to predict the purge flow of a purge canister system of an intake system of a vehicle; obtaining data, by the processor, from sensors about the vehicle's intake system for use by a neural network to enable the processor to classify the set of inputs including the one or more features for purge flow control for use in predicting a presence of purge content in the vehicle's intake system; and obtaining, by the processor, an output from the neural network wherein the output is configured as a binary or continuous output to instruct a vehicle controller to execute an action to fueling control by letting fueling controller choose different gain sets and adaption strategy based on the binary output flag in a case of the binary-output model, or apply an adjustment factor to fueling command in case of a continuous model.

Abstract: Methods and systems for predicting a vehicle stop event and/or operating a purge pump for a vehicle are disclosed. An example method includes providing a fuel vapor canister in fluid communication with a fuel tank of the vehicle, the fuel vapor canister configured to absorb fuel vapors from the fuel tank, and placing a purge pump in fluid communication with the fuel vapor canister, with the purge pump being configured to pump an external airflow into the canister. Some methods and systems may be directed to predicting a vehicle stop while the vehicle is moving based upon at least a model of vehicle speed, and initiating a vehicle response based upon the prediction. In some examples, a vehicle response includes reducing ambient noise emitted by the purge pump.

Abstract: An engine includes a plurality of combustion cylinders configured to burn a fuel to power the engine, and a plurality of fuel injectors. Each of the fuel injectors is arranged to distribute fuel delivered from a fuel tank to one of the plurality of combustion cylinders. The engine also includes a controller programmed to adjust a fuel trim signal gain based on sensing exhaust flow downstream of the combustion cylinders. The controller is also programmed to monitor a cumulative misfire count for each of the plurality of combustion cylinders. The controller is further programmed to issue a prognosis message identifying a state of health of at least one of the plurality of fuel injectors in response to a fuel trim signal gain exceeding an adjustment threshold and a cumulative misfire count greater than a misfire threshold.
