Abstract
The invention relates to a method for correcting the input signal of a function by means of which misfire is detected and for synchronizing the cylinders in an internal combustion engine, especially of a vehicle. According to the invention, a control device for correcting the input signal (10) and a control device for synchronizing the cylinders (11) are alternately activated by means of an alternative switching unit (12).
Claims7
Method for input signal correction of a misfire detection function and for cylinder equalization in an internal combustion engine, especially of a vehicle, characterized in that a control for the input signal correction (10) and a control for the cylinder equalization (11) are activated alternatively.
Method of one the above claims, characterized in that the cylinder torque corrective values are computed into corresponding input signal corrective values by the input signal correction control (10).
Method of one of the above claims, characterized in that the particular cylinder torque corrective value for activated input signal correction control (10) is held constant until the difference between a pregiven desired value and an actual value of the cylinder torque correction exceeds a fixable threshold value whereupon a new constant actual value is adjusted to the pregiven desired value and the input signal correction control (10) is reset.
Method of one of the above claims, characterized in that the cylinder equalization control (11) adjusts the injection time at least for the next combustion in dependence upon the corresponding cylinder torque which adjusts after a combustion.
Method of one of the above claims, characterized in that the input correction forms corrective values for adjusting input signals of at least a misfire detection function for each cylinder individually in dependence upon the degree of rough running and/or in dependence upon the segment time.
Method of one of the above claims, characterized in that the activation of the input signal correction control (10) and the cylinder equalization control (11) takes place by means of an alternative circuit unit (12).
