    摘要: A fault diagnosis apparatus for detecting a fault in a fuel evaporative emission suppressing system comprises an electronic control unit. When fault diagnosis execution conditions are fulfilled, the electronic control unit stores an average of integral term values for air-fuel ratio feedback control, operating position of an idling speed control valve, and engine speed, and then actuates a purge control valve of the suppressing system so that the valve opens. In a predetermined time period after the actuation of the purge control valve, the integral term average and the like are stored again. If any changes of the integral term average and other values caused by the actuation of the purge control valve are detected, the suppressing system is concluded to be normal. If no changes are detected, on the other hand, the suppressing system is concluded to be faulty.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for detecting faults in a fuel evaporative emission control system, in which the fuel evaporative emission which is admitted from a fuel tank and adsorbed once by a canister is separated from the canister by purge air and sucked into a suction passage of an engine. The fault diagnostic apparatus fluid-tightly closes the fuel tank such that a vacuum is held in the fuel tank, and then detect the presence of a leak in a fuel evaporative emission flow path on the basis of a rate of increase of the pressure in the fuel tank. At the same time, the average value of the pressure in the fuel tank is calculated at regular intervals, and the calculated average value is compared with levels of the pressure in the tank detected within a predetermined period of time, so that the detection of the leak is interrupted depending upon the result of the comparison.

    摘要: A fault diagnosis apparatus for detecting a fault in a fuel evaporative emission suppressing system, if it is concluded that an engine (1) is being operated in an operating state fulfilling fault diagnosis execution conditions, detects the current valve opening position of an idling speed control (ISC) valve (8) and then drives a purge control valve (46) to open the same. If a relatively high load is applied to the engine at this time, the threshold value determining the operating sensitivity of the ISC valve is so corrected as to be decreased. When a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the moment when the valve opening position of the ISC valve is detected, the valve opening position of the ISC valve is detected again. If the deviation between these valve opening positions is not larger than the threshold value, it is concluded that the purge air introduction by the drive of the purge control valve is not performed, that is, it is concluded that the valve is faulty. Since the operating sensitivity of the ISC valve increases as an engine load increases, erroneous diagnosis is prevented.

    摘要: An apparatus for determining a failure of an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) apparatus includes an electronic control unit. When judging the fulfillment of the failure diagnosis executing condition, the electronic control unit stores the intake pressure detected by a pressure sensor, and then introduces part of the exhaust gas from an engine to an intake passage via an EGR passage to start the EGR for failure diagnosis. Thereafter, the intake pressure is detected again. If a significant change in intake pressure does not occur before and after the execution of the EGR for failure diagnosis, it is judged that the EGR apparatus is faulty. If the failure diagnosis executing condition becomes unfulfilled during the execution of failure diagnosis, the EGR for failure diagnosis is stopped, and the failure diagnosis entailing EGR is prohibited from the time when the EGR for failure diagnosis is stopped until a predetermined period of time has elapsed, by which the deterioration in riding quality and drivability of the vehicle is prevented.

    摘要: A deterioration diagnostic apparatus for a three-way catalyst includes an electronic control unit, which obtains a frequency of reversals of the changing direction in which the output of an upstream-side O.sub.2 sensor changes, based on the number of times the output voltage of the O.sub.2 sensor crosses a threshold. Also, the control unit obtains a frequency of reversals of the changing direction in which the output of a downstream-side O.sub.2 sensor changes, based on the number of times the output voltage of the downstream-side O.sub.2 sensor crosses upper and lower reversal reference values which are obtained by adding and subtracting a hysteresis constant to and from an average value of input values of the downstream-side O.sub.2 sensor output voltage. The control unit further obtains the ratio of the reversal frequency of the downstream-side sensor output to the reversal frequency of the upstream-side sensor output, and diagnoses deterioration of the three-way catalyst when the reversal frequency ratio has become greater than a predetermined value.

    摘要: A fault diagnosis apparatus for a fuel evaporative emission suppressing system has an electronic control unit which inputs an average value of integral terms for air-fuel ratio feedback control, engine speed, etc. when diagnosis executing conditions are satisfied, and then starts opening operation of a purge control valve. Subsequently, the average value of integral terms, engine speed, etc. are input again. If no substantial change occurs in the average value, etc. with driving of the purge control valve, it is concluded that purge air for fault diagnosis has not been introduced, and that the suppressing system is faulty. In driving the purge control valve, its driving duty ratio is increased by a relatively small increment till the driving duty ratio reaches a predetermined duty ratio. If the system is normal, therefore, a purge-air introduction amount for fault diagnosis is increased by a relatively small increasing degree, to thereby prevent fluctuation of the air-fuel ratio or engine output torque attributable to the purge air introduction. After the driving duty ratio has reached the predetermined duty ratio, the driving duty ratio is increased by a relatively large increment, to thereby rapidly execute the purge-air introduction and fault diagnosis.

    摘要: A method for detecting a misfire by fluctuation in crankshaft rotation in which the occurrence of a misfire can be detected exactly by eliminating the effect of detection error in detecting the fluctuation in crankshaft rotation, caused by the error in the construction of a crank angle sensor. By succeedingly receiving pulses from the crank angle sensor, a processor detects a time interval taken from the entering into a crankshaft rotation angle region, relating to a cylinder corresponding to both pulses, to the leaving therefrom (S2), calculates the crankshaft angular acceleration D.omega..sub.n by using the correction factor calculated on the basis of the above detected time interval, and the time interval determined by dividing the time taken for one rotation of the crankshaft by the number of cylinders (S3, S4), the latter interval being free from sensor error, and detects the occurrence of a misfire when the calculated value D.omega..sub.n is less than the decision value (S5 through S7).
