    Abstract: Methods and devices are described for performing engine diagnostics during skip fire operation of an engine while a vehicle is being driven. Knowledge of the firing sequence is used to determine appropriate times to conduct selected diagnostics and/or to help better interpret sensor inputs or diagnostic results. In one aspect, selected diagnostics are executed when a single cylinder is fired a plurality of times in isolation relative to a sensor used in the diagnosis. In another aspect, selected diagnostics are conducted while the engine is operated using a firing sequence that insures that no cylinders in a first cylinder bank are fired for a plurality of engine cycles while cylinders in a second bank are at least sometimes fired. The described tests can be conducted opportunistically, when conditions are appropriate, or specific firing sequences can be commanded to achieve the desired isolation or skipping of one or more selected cylinders.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a system for reducing noise or vibration generated by an internal combustion engine is described. An engine controller is arranged to generate firing information suitable for operating the working chambers of the engine in a skip fire manner to deliver a desired amount of torque. A noise/vibration reduction unit is arranged to help reduce noise or vibration based on the firing information. The noise/vibration controller actively controls a device that is not a part of the engine to alter an NVH characteristic of the vehicle in a desired manner based at least in part on a skip fire characteristic.

    Abstract: Various methods and data structures for managing transition between different firing fractions during skip fire operation of an engine are described. In some embodiments, transitions are constrained to occur when firing sequence segments of a designated length are shared by the first and second firing fractions. In a separate aspect, a data structure that uses current firing fraction phase as a first index and a target firing fraction as a second index may be used to determine a phase of the target firing fraction to enter at a transition. Is some circumstances transitions between a current and target firing fraction may be conducted as a series of steps through intermediate firing fractions.
