Abstract

A system and a method for injector injection error diagnosis include a controller which performs the method having a diagnostic inrush condition control by satisfying air tank pressure of an air tank as an injector injection error diagnosis entry condition while presence or absence of the application of an air compressor is divided between injector injection error diagnosis entry and injector injection error diagnosis execution according to detection of operations of an engine system and an air pressure brake system.

Claims (42)

1. A method for injector injection error diagnosis, the method comprising:

a diagnostic inrush condition control of establishing an injector injection error diagnosis entry condition as air tank pressure of an air tank applied to an air pressure brake system according to presence or absence of an air compressor when injector injection error diagnosis entry of a controller for an injector performing fuel injection to an engine of an engine system is performed,

wherein the diagnostic inrush condition control is performed by:

a diagnostic inrush condition dividing step of determining due to change in the air tank pressure of the air tank;

a step of dividing air compressor application data and air compressor non-application data according to the presence or the absence of the air compressor;

a step of generating an air compressor determination condition signal by one of the air compressor application data and the air compressor non-application data;

a step of generating an injector injection error diagnosis inrush condition signal by detecting the air compressor determination condition signal, engine operation information related to the engine system, and brake operation information related to the air pressure brake system; and

a step of establishing an injector injection error diagnosis enable condition by a change of the air tank pressure.

2. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 1 ,

wherein in the air compressor application data, the air compressor determination condition signal is generated by confirming an air tank pressure diagnosis signal enable in a data misinput diagnosis enable state.

3. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 2 ,

wherein when the air tank pressure diagnosis signal enable is not confirmed, the injector injection error inrush diagnosis is stopped.

4. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 3 ,

wherein the stop of the injector injection error inrush diagnosis is indicated on a cluster as an error code.

5. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 3 ,

wherein communication error diagnosis for non-confirmation of the air tank pressure diagnosis signal enable before the stop of the injector injection error inrush diagnosis is performed.

6. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 1 ,

wherein in the air compressor non-application data, the air compressor determination condition signal is generated by confirming an air tank pressure diagnosis signal disable in the data misinput diagnosis enable state.

7. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 6 ,

wherein when the air tank pressure diagnosis signal disable is not confirmed, the injector injection error inrush diagnosis is stopped.

8. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 7 ,

wherein the stop of the injector injection error inrush diagnosis is indicated on a cluster as an error code.

9. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 7 ,

wherein data misinput diagnosis for non-confirmation of the air tank pressure diagnosis signal disable before the stop of the injector injection error inrush diagnosis is performed.

10. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 1 ,

wherein the air compressor determination condition signal is indicated on a cluster and transmitted to the controller.

11. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 1 ,

wherein the injector injection error diagnosis inrush condition signal is output to a flag.

12. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 1 ,

wherein the change of the air tank pressure is generated by an operation of the air compressor acting as a load of the engine.

13. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 12 ,

wherein the change of the air tank pressure is a state in which the air tank returns to a predetermined pressure after a pressure reduction.

14. The method for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 1 ,

wherein after the diagnostic inrush condition control, an injector injection error diagnosis execution control is performed and the injector injection error diagnosis execution control is to determine an angular velocity variation amount for each cylinder or an injection correction amount for each cylinder of the engine using the injector.

15. A system for injector injection error diagnosis, the system comprising:

a controller which performs a diagnostic inrush condition control by satisfying air tank pressure of an air tank as an injector injection error diagnosis entry condition while presence or absence of application of an air compressor is divided between injector injection error diagnosis entry and injector injection error diagnosis execution according to detection of operations of an engine system and an air pressure brake system.

16. The system for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 15 ,

wherein the controller detects the air tank pressure of the air pressure brake system in association with a cluster that forms a driver's seat.

17. The system for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 15 ,

wherein the air tank pressure is detected by an air tank pressure sensor mounted in the air tank.

18. The system for injector injection error diagnosis of claim 16 ,

wherein communication between the controller and the cluster is performed by CAN.
