Hereinafter, a diagnostic method of the high-pressure fuel pump according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a diagnostic method of a high-pressure fuel pump according to an embodiment of the present invention.
First, it is checked whether or not the condition for diagnosing the abnormality of the high-pressure fuel pump is satisfied. If the condition is met, the diagnostic process is started (S5). Here, the diagnosis condition means a state in which the control values for controlling the high-pressure fuel pump are not largely varied, and the constant values are continuously maintained. That is, it means that the vehicle has entered a stable state. For example, the RPM may maintain a constant value over a predetermined time, the injected flow rate may be constant, or the vehicle speed may be zero.
The
Thereafter, the engine control means calculates a control value required for the
As a representative example, when the target fuel pressure (here, the first pressure value) is determined in the engine operation speed and the specific operating condition determined by the load, the engine control means determines the closing time of the
Therefore, the engine control means determines the first closing timing of the
The first closing timing determined in step S20 is utilized as a basic data for determining whether or not the
In step S30, the engine control unit compares the first closing timing of the solenoid control valve, which is determined to maintain the first time pressure value, with the modeled database, and outputs the first verification result according to the deviation information.
As a result of the verification, if the deviation between the first closing timing and the value stored in the modeled database is within a predetermined error range, it is determined to be normal. If the difference is outside the error range, it is determined to be an error (S45).
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S30 that the deviation is within a predetermined error range and is determined to be normal, the engine control means detects the fuel pressure value at the second time point according to the first closing timing, The process of revalidating the primary verification results is performed.
Specifically, if it is determined that the first verification result is an error, revalidation is not required to prevent an accident that may occur due to the failure of the fuel pump.
However, even if it is judged as a result of the first verification, there is an error in the verification process itself. Therefore, a re-verification process is required to derive an accurate diagnosis result.
To this end, the engine control means controls the fuel pressure in the fuel rail 400 at the second time point after the
Thereafter, the engine control means compares the first point-of-view pressure value and the second point-of-view pressure value and outputs a second verification result according to the deviation information (S50).
As a result of the second verification, it is determined that the deviation between the first pressure value and the second pressure value is within a preset error range. If the difference is outside the error range, it is determined that the error is normal.
Through the re-verification process such as S50, the engine control means finally outputs the diagnostic result of the abnormality of the fuel pump, and as a result, when the final judgment is made (that is, (I.e., when the deviation of the second viewpoint pressure value is within a predetermined error range), the first closing timing is learned and the modeled database is updated (S60).
Here, the updated database can be used again in the first verification of step S30.
On the other hand, the information about the closing timing of the solenoid control valve for forming the target fuel pressure in a specific operating condition is continuously learned. The learned information about the closing timing of the control valve can be used to diagnose the abnormality of the high- have.
For example, the engine control means stores information on the initial control value relating to the closing timing of the solenoid control valve for forming the target fuel pressure in a specific operating condition determined by the specific engine speed and the load, and the control values learned and updated . There may be a difference between the initial control value and the learned control value for forming the same target fuel pressure under the same conditions as the learning of the control value continues. This can be attributed to the mechanical aging phenomenon of the high-pressure fuel pump.
Accordingly, the engine control means compares the initial control value with the current control value, which is the learned result, and diagnoses the abnormality of the high-pressure fuel pump in a differential manner according to the degree of the deviation.
Specifically, the engine control means compares the current control value (modeling value), which is the learned result, with the initial control value, and confirms whether or not the deviation deviates from the predetermined error limit. If the deviation deviates from the predetermined error limit, it is diagnosed that there is an abnormality in the high-pressure fuel pump.
On the other hand, in diagnosing the abnormality of the high-pressure fuel pump using the modeled learning control value, the engine control means can further output the differential diagnosis result by utilizing the time concept.
For example, assume that the first learning control value to be compared is a value obtained at a time point t1 after the learning control is started, and the second learning control value is a value obtained at the time point t2 . Here, the time of t1 means a time when a short time has elapsed from the initial time, and the time of t2 means a time when a long time has elapsed from the initial time.
If the deviation between the first learning control value and the initial control value obtained at the time t1 deviates from the error limit, it means that a large change has occurred in the short time. For example, this means that a large leakage of the high- It can mean something.
On the other hand, if the deviation between the second learning control value and the initial control value obtained at time t2 deviates from the error limit, it may mean that the fuel leaks gradually over a long time.
In this way, the engine control means can make a differential diagnosis of the presence or absence of abnormality possible by further considering the factors of the elapsed time from the initial point of time when the learning control is started by using the modeled learning control value.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the detailed description, and all changes or modifications derived from the scope of the claims and their equivalents shall be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention.
