Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect a fault in an intermediate area by deciding the fault when sensor detection data which is sampled deviates from last data by more than a permissible value. CONSTITUTION:A sampling means 2 samples the detection output of a temperature sensor, etc., at specific intervals of time and a fault decision means 3 decides a fault if current detection data deviates greatly from last detection data. By this deciding method, a fault and abnormality in the intermediate area between a short-circuit fault and an open-circuit fault can be detected. Therefore, the system can securely be prevented from malfunctioning.

The microcomputer 5 executes the routine illustrated in FIG. 3 at regular intervals. In the processing of this routine, the following processing is performed every 60 seconds as determined in step 101. That is, first, in step 102, the detected value of the sensor is taken in (sampled) as the current detection data Ta.
, in step 1'03, the difference between the previous detection data Ta and the current detection data Ta' is 10 degrees (deg), which is the allowable value.
), and if it does not exceed 10 degrees, it is determined that it is in a normal state, and if it exceeds 10 degrees, it is determined that it is in an abnormal state.

In other words, it is considered abnormal for the detected value to change by 10 degrees in 60 seconds, and the determination value is determined to be a value that cannot normally occur. Therefore, the sampling period of 60 seconds and the determination value of 10 degrees are determined as appropriate depending on the characteristics of the sensor and the like.

On the other hand, if it is determined to be abnormal in step 103, that is, T
If the difference between a (previous data) and Ta' (current data) exceeds 10 degrees, the process proceeds to step 105, where it is determined that a failure has occurred, and failure processing is performed. That is, the TaO value is not replaced with new detection data, but is updated and held as it is. As a countermeasure in the event of a failure, a failure is displayed and the previous detection data Ta is used as the temperature used for calculation.
Alternatively, set data prepared in advance (for example, 25 degrees).

By controlling in this way, even if the sensor emits an abnormal output, the air conditioning control state is maintained at the state before the abnormality occurred or at a preset stable state. Therefore, the environment inside the vehicle does not deteriorate rapidly.

In this regard, if only open failures and short failures occur as in the past, the detected value will decrease or increase until a failure is determined, and the control content will change to the full heat side or the full cool side accordingly. When a failure determination is actually made, the control state is fixed at full heat or full cool, and there is a risk that the environment inside the vehicle will deteriorate rapidly. However, according to the above embodiment, such a phenomenon can be avoided.

In the above embodiment, the sampling period is 60 seconds,
Further, although the allowable value for deviation from the normal value is set to 10 degrees, it is of course possible to set these values to values other than the above depending on the characteristics of the sensor. Further, the present invention is of course applicable not only to temperature sensors but also to failure diagnosis of various types of sensors.
