INTRODUCTION

Note. For specific Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) testing, see DIAGNOSTIC TESTS article.

The Range Rover Petrol Engine Management System consists of the Bosch ME7.2 Engine Control Module (ECM) controlling the BMW 4.4L V8 M62 engine.

ME7.2 is a development of the Bosch M5.2.1 Engine Management System used on the Land Rover "Thor" V8 engine, the major difference being that ME7.2 is a "drive-by-wire" Engine Management system, i.e. ME7.2 has electronic throttle control.

Another significant system difference is the extensive use of a Controller Area Network (CAN) system to provide the interface to other vehicle systems.

ON BOARD MONITORING

CATALYST MONITORING

Note. For specific Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) testing, see DIAGNOSTIC TESTS article.

Catalyst Monitoring Description

Catalyst monitoring is based on the monitoring of oxygen storage capability. The (non-linear) correlation between conversion efficiency and storage capability has been shown in various investigations.

The engine closed loop feedback control results in regular lambda (normalized air/fuel ratio) oscillations in the exhaust gas. These oscillations are damped by the oxygen storage activity of the catalyst. The amplitude of the remaining lambda oscillations downstream of the catalyst indicates the storage capability.

The monitoring function compares the signal amplitudes obtained from the downstream oxygen sensors with modeled signal amplitudes. The modeled signal amplitudes are derived from a model of a borderline catalyst. If the measured amplitudes exceed those of the model, then the catalyst is considered to be defective.

Unlike the previous catalyst monitoring function, this operates over a single range of engine speed and load.

The monitoring function can be broken down into the following sub-sections

  1. Computation of the downstream oxygen sensor signal amplitudes.
  2. Modeling of a borderline catalyst and the downstream oxygen sensor signal amplitudes.
  3. Signal evaluation.
  4. Fault processing.
  5. Function enable criteria.

Catalyst Monitoring Structure

For monitoring structure flow chart (Scheme 2)

Scheme 2

Scheme 2: Catalyst Monitoring Structure

Computation Of The Downstream Oxygen Sensor Signal Amplitudes

The first step is the calculation of the amplitude of the signal oscillations of the oxygen sensor downstream of the catalyst. This is accomplished by extracting the oscillating signal component, computing the absolute value and averaging over time.

Modeling Of A Borderline Catalyst & The Downstream Oxygen Sensor Signal Amplitudes

The model simulates the oxygen storage capability of a borderline catalyst. The signal of the downstream oxygen sensor is simulated in the catalyst model; this is based on real-time engine operating data (air fuel ratio and airflow rate). The amplitude of the modeled signal oscillations is then calculated.

Signal Evaluation

The signal amplitude of the downstream sensors is compared with the model over a given time. If these signal amplitudes exceed the modeled amplitudes, then the oxygen storage capability of the catalyst is less than that of a borderline catalyst.

Fault Processing

If the test result for the catalyst in the vehicle shows a lower oxygen storage capability than the model, then a fault is detected and an internal flag will be set. If the fault is detected again during the next drive cycle, then the MIL will be illuminated and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) stored.

Since the monitored engine has a catalyst for each of two cylinder banks, two evaluations are made with differing fault thresholds, one test is for deterioration in one of the catalysts and the second is at a reduced threshold to check for deterioration in both catalysts.

Function Enable Criteria

The monitoring principle is based on the detection of relevant oscillations of the downstream oxygen sensor signal during regular lambda control. It is necessary to check the driving conditions to ensure that regular lambda control is possible, e.g. fuel cut-off not present. During these conditions and for a certain time afterwards, the computation of the amplitude values and their post-processing is suspended, so that a distortion of the monitoring information is avoided.

MISFIRE MONITORING

Note. For specific Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) testing, see DIAGNOSTIC TESTS article.

Misfire Monitoring Description

The method of engine misfire detection is based on evaluating the engine speed fluctuations. In order to detect misfiring at any cylinder the torque of each cylinder is evaluated by metering the time between two ignition events, which is a measure for the mean value of the speed of this angular segment. This means, a change of the engine torque results in a change of the engine speed.

Additionally the influence of the load torque will be determined. This means the influences of different road surfaces, e.g. pavement, pot holes etc. If the mean engine speed is to be measured, influences caused by road surfaces have to be eliminated. This method consists of the following main parts

  1. Data acquisition, adaptation of sensor wheel is included.
  2. Calculation of engine roughness.
  3. Comparison with a threshold depending on operating points.
  4. Some extreme conditions, during which misfire detections should be disabled for a short time.
  5. Fault processing, counting procedure of single misfire events.

Misfire Monitoring Structure

For monitoring structure flow chart (Scheme 5)

Scheme 5

Scheme 5: Misfire Monitoring Structure

Data Acquisition

The duration of the crankshaft segments is measured continuously for every combustion cycle.

Sensor Wheel Adaptation

Within a defined engine speed range and during fuel cut-off, the adaptation of the sensor wheel tolerances, instead of misfire detection, is carried out. With progressing adaptation the sensitivity of the misfire detection is increasing. The adaptation values are stored in a non-volatile memory and are taken into consideration for the calculation of the engine roughness.

Misfire Detection

The following operating steps are performed for each measured segment corrected by the sensor wheel adaptation.

Calculation Of The Engine Roughness

The engine roughness is derived from the differences of the segment durations. Different statistical methods are used to distinguish between normal changes of the segment duration and the changes due to misfiring.

Detecting Of Multiple Misfiring

If several cylinders are misfiring (e.g. alternating one combustion/one misfire event) the calculated engine roughness values may be so low, that the threshold is not exceeded during misfiring and therefore misfiring would not be detected.

Based on this fact, the periodicity of the engine roughness value is used as additional information during multiple misfiring. The engine roughness value is filtered and a new multiple filter value is created. If this filter value increases due to multiple misfiring, the roughness threshold is decreased. By applying this strategy, multiple misfiring is detected reliably.

Calculation Of The Engine Roughness Threshold Value

The engine roughness threshold value consists of the base value, which is determined by a load/speed dependent map. During warm-up an engine coolant temperature dependent correction value is added. In case of multiple misfiring the threshold is reduced by an adjustable factor. Without sufficient sensor wheel adaptation the engine roughness threshold is limited to a speed dependent minimum value.

A change of the threshold towards a smaller value is limited by a variation constant.

Determination Of Misfiring

Misfire detection is performed by comparing the engine roughness threshold value with the engine roughness value.

If a misfire event is detected in a cylinder, the misfire detection of the next cylinder in firing order is deactivated to prevent a faulty diagnosis.

Statistics, Fault Processing

Within an interval of 1000 crankshaft revolutions the detected misfiring events are added for each cylinder. If the sum of all cylinder misfire incidents exceeds a predetermined value, the fault code for emission relevant misfiring is preliminarily stored. If only one cylinder is misfiring, a cylinder selective fault code is stored. If more than one cylinder is misfiring, the fault code for multiple misfiring is also stored.

Within an interval of 200 crankshaft revolutions the detected number of misfiring events is weighted and calculated for each cylinder. The weighting factor is determined by a load/speed dependent map. If the sum of cylinder misfire incidents exceeds a predetermined value, the fault code for indicating catalyst damage relevant misfiring is stored and the MIL is illuminated at once (blinking).

If the cylinder selective count exceeds the predetermined threshold, the following measures take place

  1. The oxygen sensor closed loop system is switched to open loop.
  2. The cylinder selective fault code is stored. If more than one cylinder is misfiring, the fault code for multiple misfire is also stored.
  3. The fuel supply to the respective cylinder is cut-off.

All misfire counters are reset after each interval.

SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM MONITORING

Note. For specific Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) testing, see DIAGNOSTIC TESTS article.

Secondary Air Injection System Description

At cold start the secondary air injection pump and valve are switched on for their normal operating function. The secondary air delivered into the exhaust gas causes a lean mixture indicated by the output voltage of the front oxygen sensor.

Any time the oxygen sensor indicates a rich mixture (voltage > a fixed limit) within a predetermined time range and the calculation of the relative secondary air mass is < (less than) a defined threshold, the secondary air injection system appears to be faulty.

A correction procedure follows immediately after the secondary air injection system is switched off. The air fuel ratio influence is determined by the deviation of the lambda-controller.

If influence < (less than) a fixed threshold, finally a fault will be detected.

If influence > (greater than) a fixed threshold the results of the diagnosis will be rejected.

As long as a lean mixture (voltage < a fixed limit) is indicated from the front oxygen sensor within a predetermined time range and the correction of air fuel ratio influence (after secondary air injection pump shuts-off) is < (less than) a fixed threshold a fault will also be detected.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK MEASUREMENT

Note. For specific Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) testing, see DIAGNOSTIC TESTS article.

Leak Measurement Description

The evaporative emission system monitoring permits the detection of leaks in the evaporative emission system with a diameter of 0.020" (0.5 mm) and or greater.

By means of a Diagnostic Module Tank Leakage (DM-TL), an electrical actuated pump located at the atmospheric connection of the evaporative emission canister, a pressure test of the evaporative emission system is performed in the following order

  2. Leak Measurement During the Leak Measurement, the electrical actuated pump delivers through the EVAP canister into the fuel tank system. The pressure in the evaporative emission system may be up to 2500 Pa depending on the fuel level in the tank. The ECM measures the pump's electrical current consumption. A comparison of the currents of the reference leak measurement and the leak measurement is a measure for the leakage in the tank. (Scheme 12)
  3. Pressure Release After the test the remaining pressure in the evaporative system is bled off through the EVAP canister by switching off the pump and solenoid. (Scheme 13)

Description Of EVAP Canister Purge System Flow Check

The purge flow from the EVAP canister through the EVAP canister purge valve is monitored after fuel system adaptation is completed and the lambda controller is at closed loop condition. The diagnosis is started during regular purging.

EVAP Canister Purge System Monitoring Structure

For EVAP system monitoring structure flow chart (Scheme 19)

Scheme 19

Scheme 19: EVAP Canister Purge System Monitoring Structure

Step 1 - For Rich Or Lean Mixture

Flow through the EVAP canister purge valve is assumed as soon as the lambda controller is compensating for a rich or a lean shift. After this procedure the diagnosis is completed and the EVAP canister purge system resumes working normally.

Step 2 - For A Stoichiometric Mixture

In this case the lambda controller does not need to compensate for a deviation. Therefore, after finishing the regular purging, the EVAP canister purge valve is opened and closed abruptly several times.

The effect of additional cylinder charge will trigger a variation of the engine idle speed.

A predetermined value is reached if the system functions properly and the diagnosis procedure is completed.

To start the diagnosis function (step 2) several conditions have to be satisfied

  1. Vehicle speed = 0.
  2. Engine at idle speed.
  3. Closed loop of lambda controller.
  4. Engine coolant temperature > fixed limit.
  5. Transfer gears in high range.

Furthermore if the diagnosis has already been started and one of the conditions has not been satisfied continuously, the process will be interrupted and started again later

  1. Engine idle speed variation < fixed limit.

FUEL SYSTEM MONITORING

Note. For specific Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) testing, see DIAGNOSTIC TESTS article.

Mixture Primary Control

The air mass taken in by the engine and the engine speed are measured. These signals are used to calculate an injection signal. This mixture primary control follows fast load and speed changes.

Lambda-Control

The ECM compares the oxygen sensor signal of the sensor upstream of the catalyst with a reference value and calculates a correction factor for the primary control.

Adaptive Primary Control

Drifts and faults in sensors and actuators of the fuel delivery system as well as unmetered air leakage into the intake system influence the primary control. This causes deviations in the air fuel ratio. The adaptive primary control determines the controller correction in two different ranges.

Ranges Of Learning Correction Coefficients tra & fra

Lambda deviations in range 1 are compensated by an additive correction value multiplied by an engine speed term. By this means an additive correction per time unit is derived. (Scheme 23)

Scheme 23

Scheme 23: Ranges Of Learning Correction Coefficients tra & fra

Lambda deviations in range 2 are compensated by a multiplicative factor. (Scheme 23)

Each value is determined only within its corresponding range. But each adaptive value corrects the primary control within the whole load and speed range of the engine. After the next start, the stored adaptive values are included in the calculation of the primary control; just before the closed loop fuelling control is activated.

Diagnosis Of Fuel Delivery System

Faults in the fuel delivery system can occur which cannot be compensated for by the adaptive control. In this case the adaptive values leave a predetermined range. If the adaptive value is outside this predetermined range, and if the condition is again present on a subsequent drive cycle, the MIL is illuminated and the appropriate DTC's are stored.

Diagnosis Procedure Of The Monitor Sensor (Downstream)

The activity of the monitor sensor after reaching operating conditions is determined by two different procedures

  1. Oscillation Check (Line Crossing) If the following checks are correct, the monitor sensor will be regarded as satisfactory: The monitor sensor signal (sensor voltage) is greater than or equal to the nominal value of the TV-Correction and voltage increases, if the lambda control goes to the lean side, or The monitor sensor signal (sensor voltage) is less than the nominal value of the TV-Correction and voltage decreases, if the lambda control goes to the rich side.
  2. Fuel Cut Off Check Additionally to the previous checks (A and B) the signal behavior of the monitor sensor is checked in case of fuel cut off. Therefore the monitor sensor voltage has to be below a given nominal value in case of fuel cut off. If the monitor sensor is detected faulty by checks A or B, a DTC is stored and the MIL is illuminated at the next driving cycle.

Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitoring Description

For proper function of the oxygen sensor, the sensor element must be heated. A non-functioning heater delays the sensor readiness for closed loop control and influences emissions.

The monitoring function measures both, sensor heater current (voltage drop over a shunt) and the heater voltage (heater supply voltage) to calculate the sensor heater resistance.

The monitoring function is activated once per trip, if the heater has been switched on for a certain time period and the current has stabilized.

Characteristics

  1. ECM controlled switching of the sensor heater.
  2. One shunt for each pair of O2 sensors upstream and downstream of the catalysts for current measurement.

  2. Analogue to Digital Converter voltages falling below the minimum threshold (VMIN) are caused by a short circuit of the sensor signal or sensor ground to the ECM ground.

The diagnostic checks for a partially open thermostat, under conditions when the thermostat would be expected to be shut. (Scheme 33)

Scheme 33

Scheme 33: Thermostat Monitoring Description

A second coolant temperature sensor is installed in the outlet from the radiator. If the enablement criteria are met and the engine coolant temperature is less than the normal thermostat opening temperature, then the diagnostic will run.

The diagnostic looks at the difference between engine coolant temperature and the radiator outlet temperature. This gives the temperature drop across the radiator.

If the temperature drop is less than a threshold, and there is flow across the radiator, this points to leakage through the thermostat.
