Pressure diagnostic system and method
View Patent ↗A pressure diagnostic system includes a pressure error calculating module that generates a pressure error based on a first pressure signal and a second pressure signal. A difference calculating module generates a desired pressure difference based on a current desired pressure and a prior desired pressure. A lag filter module applies lag filter to the pressure error to generate a lag filtered pressure error. A fault module selectively generates a fault based on the lag filtered pressure error.
1. A system, comprising:
a pressure error calculating module that generates a pressure error based on a first pressure signal from a first fuel pressure sensor of a fuel supply system and a second pressure signal from a second fuel pressure sensor of the fuel supply system;
a desired pressure difference calculating module that generates a desired pressure difference based on a current desired pressure for the fuel supply system and a prior desired pressure for the fuel supply system;
a lag filter module that applies a lag filter to the pressure error to generate a lag filtered pressure error; and
an engine control module that selectively changes an operating parameter of an engine based on the lag filtered pressure error.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the lag filter module selects lag filter terms based on the desired pressure difference.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a filtering module that filters the first pressure signal and the second pressure signal before the pressure error calculating module generates the pressure error.
4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an out of range module that determines whether the first pressure signal and the second pressure signal are out of range before the pressure error calculating module generates the pressure error.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pressure error calculating module generates the pressure error based on an inverse of a function of ratio of the second pressure signal to the first pressure signal.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the function is a square root of the ratio of the second pressure signal to the first pressure signal.
7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a fault module that selectively triggers a fault based on comparison of the lag filtered pressure error to a pressure range.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the fault module adjusts the pressure range based on the current desired pressure.
9. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a suspension module that selectively suspends identification of a fault based on the desired pressure difference.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the suspension module suspends identification of the fault when the desired pressure difference is greater than a predetermined desired pressure difference.
11. A method comprising:
using an engine control module:
generating a pressure error based on a first pressure signal from a first pressure sensor of a fuel supply system and a second pressure signal from a second pressure sensor of the fuel supply system;
generating a desired pressure difference based on a current desired pressure for the fuel supply system and a prior desired pressure for the fuel supply system;
applying a lag filter to the pressure error to generate a lag filtered pressure error; and
selectively changing an operating parameter of an engine based on the lag filtered pressure error.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising selecting lag filter terms based on the desired pressure difference.
13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising suspending identification of a fault based on the desired pressure difference.
14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising suspending identification of a fault when the desired pressure difference is greater than a predetermined desired pressure difference.
15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising filtering the first pressure signal and the second pressure signal before generating the pressure error.
16. The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining whether the first pressure signal and the second pressure signal are out of range before generating the pressure error.
17. The method of claim 11 , wherein generating the pressure error is based on an inverse of a function of ratio of the second pressure signal to the first pressure signal.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the function is a square root of the ratio of the second pressure signal to the first pressure signal.
19. The method of claim 11 , further comprising selectively triggering a fault based on comparison of the lag filtered pressure error to a pressure range.
20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising adjusting the pressure range based on the current desired pressure.
