Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A fuel-pressure-sensor diagnosis device is applied to a fuel injection system having a plurality of fuel pressure sensors detecting a fuel pressure which is provided to a fuel injector of each cylinder, and a control portion controlling the fuel injectors by using a computed result which is computed based on a variation in the fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure sensor due to a fuel injection. Two pressure sensors of which pulsation values of the detected fuel pressure are in a specified range are selected among the multiple fuel pressure sensors. For example, a pair “A” refers to the sensors # 1 and # 3 , a pair “B” refers to the sensors # 3 and # 4 , a pair “C” refers to the sensors # 4 and # 2 , and a pair “D” refers to the sensors # 2 and # 1 . An ECU diagnoses whether the selected sensors are faulty by comparing the detected values.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A fuel-pressure-sensor diagnosis device applied to a fuel injection system having a plurality of fuel injectors provided to each cylinder of an internal combustion engine, an accumulator accumulating a high-pressure fuel and distributing the fuel to the fuel injectors, a plurality of fuel pressure sensors detecting a fuel pressure in a fuel supply passage at multiple points from the accumulator to an injection port of the fuel injector, and a control portion…
