AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods struggle to accurately detect abnormal fixation of hydraulic sensors when the pulsation amplitude of the output is small due to variations in oil pump capacity, passage shape, and engine operating state.

Method used

A hydraulic sensor diagnostic device that changes the target hydraulic pressure and detects abnormal fixation by measuring the output fluctuation after pressure change, determining a sticking abnormality if the fluctuation amount is less than a predetermined threshold.

Benefits of technology

Accurately detects abnormal sticking of hydraulic sensors, improving diagnostic accuracy regardless of oil pump capacity, passage shape, and engine state, and ensuring reliable engine oil supply.

Abstract

To provide a hydraulic sensor diagnostic device that can accurately detect abnormal sticking of hydraulic sensors. [Solution] The electronic control unit 21 detects a sticking abnormality in the hydraulic pressure sensor 20, which detects the hydraulic pressure of the main gallery 16 through which the engine oil discharged by the oil pump 11 flows. The electronic control unit 21 changes the target hydraulic pressure of the oil pump 11 on the condition that the fluctuation amplitude of the output of the hydraulic pressure sensor 20 remains small, and detects a sticking abnormality in the hydraulic pressure sensor 20 if the amount of fluctuation of the output of the hydraulic pressure sensor 20 after the change in target pressure is less than or equal to the amount of sticking abnormality.
