Detect the presence of misfire occurrence. (Revolution fluctuation method)

Monitoring Misfire which influences exhaust deterioration (1.5 times of FTP) and catalyst damage is made obligatory by the law. Misfire affecting these two has two patterns below.

  1. Intermittent misfire (The same cylinder misfires in random, or different cylinders misfire in random.): FTP 1.5 times misfire
  2. Every time misfire (The same cylinder misfires every time.): FTP 1.5 times misfire, Catalyst damage misfire

The following detecting methods are adopted for these detection.

  1. Intermittent misfire: FTP 1.5 times misfire 120° Interval Difference Method 360° Interval Difference Method (whole range) 720° Interval Difference Method (3, 000 rpm or more)
  2. Misfire every time: FTP 1.5 times misfire, Catalyst damage misfire 360° Interval Difference Method

When a misfire occurs, the engine speed will decrease and the crankshaft position speed will change. Calculate the interval difference value (diagnostic value) from crankshaft position speed by the following formula, and judge whether a misfire is occurring or not comparing the calculated result with judgment value. Count the number of misfires, if the misfire ratio is higher during 1000 revs. or 200 revs., judge corresponding cylinders as NG.

Diagnostic value calculation (Calculate from angle speed) -->Misfire detection every single ignition (Compare diagnostic value with judgment value) -->NG judgment (Misfire occurrence judgment required by the law) (Compare number of misfire with judgment value)
