    摘要: An evaporative emission control system includes a valve arranged in a passage communicating between a fuel tank and a canister. The valve opens the passage when pressure within part of the evaporative emission control system upstream of the valve exceeds a predetermined value and, closes the passage when the pressure is below the predetermined value. It is determined that the evaporative emission control system is normal when a value of the pressure with the part of the system detected by a pressure sensor is lower than a predetermined reference value below atmospheric pressure.

    摘要: An evaporative fuel-processing system for an internal combustion engine includes a charging passage extending between the canister and the fuel tank of the engine, a purging passage extending between the canister and the intake system of the engine, an open-to-atmosphere passage for communicating the interior of the canister to the atmosphere, a first control valve for selectively opening and closing the purging passage, and a second control valve for selectively opening and closing the open-to-atmosphere passage. A tank internal pressure sensor detects pressure within the evaporative fuel-processing system, and an ECU determines abnormality of the evaporative fuel-processing system, based on a variation in the detected pressure after the interior of the evaporative fuel-processing system is negatively pressurized into a predetermined negative pressure state. An amount of evaporative fuel generated within the evaporative fuel-processing system is detected based on an the output from the exhaust gas concentration sensor obtained when the first control valve is opened. The abnormality detection is restricted when the detected amount of evaporative fuel is larger than a predetermined amount.

    摘要: An evaporative fuel-processing system includes a first control valve arranged in a charging passage connecting between a fuel tank and a canister for adsorbing evaporative fuel generated from the fuel tank, a second control valve arranged in a purging passage connecting between the canister and an intake passage of the engine, a third control valve arranged in an air inlet port of the canister, and a system internal pressure sensor for detecting pressure within the system. The system is checked for a leak by monitoring a value of the pressure detected by the sensor after the system is negatively pressurized by closing the third control valve and opening the second control valve. The sensor is provided at a location upstream of the first control valve, and the first control valve is closed to detect a value of the pressure or a change thereof. Abnormality determination is carried out based on the detected value of the pressure. Alternatively, all of the above valves are closed in the negatively-pressurized state of the system to detect a first amount of change in the pressure, and then the first control valve alone is opened to detect a second amount of change in the pressure. Abnormality determination can be carried out based on the first and second amounts of change in the pressure, or by comparing a value of the pressure detected when the first and second valves are closed after negative pressurization with a value of the pressure detected after the first control valve is opened.

    摘要: A failure-detecting device detects failure of a tank internal pressure sensor for an internal combustion engine. The tank internal pressure sensor is provided in a fuel tank for detecting pressure within the fuel tank. The failure of the tank internal pressure sensor is detected by detecting an amount of variation in an output from the tank internal pressure sensor occurring within a predetermined time period elapses after the start of the engine and determining that the tank internal pressure sensor is abnormal when the amount of variation is below a predetermined value upon the lapse of the predetermined time period. A fail-safe device inhibits abnormality diagnosis of the evaporative emission control system when it is determined that the tank internal pressure sensor is abnormal. A fail-safe device performs a fail-safe action including at least opening a control valve arranged at an air inlet port of a canister for closing and opening the air inlet port, when it is determined that the tank internal pressure sensor is abnormal.

    摘要: A tank internal pressure-detecting device for an internal combustion engine having an evaporative emission control system for controlling purging of evaporative fuel generated in a fuel tank thereof into an intake system thereof. An ECU interrupts purging of evaporative fuel by the evaporative emission control system for a predetermined period of time after the engine is started. The ECU causes control valves of the evaporative emission control system to open the interior of the fuel tank to the atmosphere, and stores a value of pressure within the fuel tank detected by a tank internal pressure sensor as a reference value while the purging is being interrupted and at the same time the interior of the fuel tank is opened to the atmosphere. The ECU corrects an output value of the tank internal pressure sensor, based upon the reference value stored.

    摘要: Misfire detection system for an internal combustion engine. If misfire is found to occur due to vapor lock temporarily happening, it will erroneously be judged that the structure of the engine or the fuel supply system is out of order. However, vapor lock is an interruption of the flow of fuel in a gasoline engine caused by formation of vapor or gas bubbles, and does not mean the engine or the fuel supply system is degraded in its structure. On the contrary, if misfire is detected in such situation, the misfire detection degrades the reliability of the system. The misfire detection is therefore inactivated during conditions in which vapor lock is liable to occur, by discontinuing the detection, or by deliberately deeming no misfire to occurs even if it is so detected. Alternatively, the reference level for misfire detection is raised during such conditions.

    摘要: An evaporative fuel-processing system for an internal combustion engine includes an evaporative emission control system having a canister, a first passage connecting between the canister and a fuel tank, a second passage connecting between the canister and the intake system of the engine, and a purge control valve arranged across the second passage, a drain shut valve for opening and closing an inlet port of the canister, and pressure sensors for detecting pressure within the evaporative emission control system. The evaporative emission control system is negatively pressurized by introducing negative pressure from the intake system into the evaporative emission control system by opening the purge control valve and closing the drain shut valve, to thereby bring the evaporative emission control system into a predetermined negatively pressurized state, and then closing the purge control valve to complete the negative pressurization. Presence/absence of a leak from the system is detected based on a rate of decrease in negative pressure within the evaporative emission control system after the closing of the purge control valve. The leak detection is started when the pressure within the evaporative emission control system becomes substantially equal throughout the system after the completion of the negative pressurization.
