    摘要: A crankshaft based misfire detector for an internal combustion engine detects and identifies misfire over a broad range of engine operating conditions by establishing correction factors to compensate for crankshaft torsional oscillations and static wheel profile errors which corrupt the acceleration signals used to detect misfire. The correction factors are adaptively determined during in-use engine operation and are updated in one manner for most firings but in another manner for any cylinder firing which had the relatively lowest corrected acceleration within an engine cycle.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for reliably detecting misfires in an internal combustion engine during actual driving conditions by monitoring fluctuations in engine speed between consecutive firing intervals. An average acceleration over a series of firing intervals is removed from an individual acceleration measurement corresponding to a particular firing interval to give an acceleration deviation which is then normalized to an expected torque to provide a power loss measurement. The power loss measurement indicates the occurrence of a misfire with a high signal-to-noise ratio. The information derived from misfire detection can be used to prevent destruction of a catalytic converter by unburned fuel mixtures and can be used to improve vehicle driveability by correcting for or indicating needed service for the vehicle. The misfire detection is implemented using existing sensors and processors and is adapted to be done on-board a vehicle in real time.

    摘要: Misfiring of individual cylinders in an internal combustion engine 70 is detected based on simultaneous use of two or more different methods of misfire detection which examine different combustion-related parameters of engine operation, such as crankshaft acceleration and exhaust gas pressure. An analyzer 76 produces a final misfire determination M.sub.f (i) based on the simultaneously obtained misfire determinations in order to provide greater coverage of the speed-load range of engine 70 and to provide increased confidence and accuracy in calling misfires in the portion of the speed-load range where both misfire methods are presumed to function.

    摘要: A system is disclosed for diagnosing faults in electronic control systems wherein a large volume of information is exchanged between the electronic control processor and a mechanical system under its control. The data is acquired such that parameter vectors describing the system operation are formed. The vectors are provided to a pattern recognition system such as a neural network for classification according to the operating condition of the electronically controlled system. For diagnosis of electronically controlled engine operation, the parameters included in the vectors correspond to individual firing events occurring in the engine operating under a predetermined condition. The diagnostic system can be implemented as a service tool in an automotive service bay or can be implemented within the on-board electronic control system itself.
