  • Patent number: 11454186
    Abstract: The error diagnosis device has: an input unit that receives a downstream pressure value and an upstream pressure value, said downstream pressure value being detected on the downstream side of a fuel pump and said upstream pressure value being detected on the upstream side of the fuel pump; and a determination unit that, if the downstream pressure value is less than a preset first threshold value, determines whether or not the upstream pressure value is less than a preset second threshold value. The determination unit determines that an error has occurred further upstream than the fuel pump if the upstream pressure value is less than the second threshold value and determines that an error has occurred in the fuel pump if the upstream pressure value is at least the second threshold value.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11242815
    Abstract: The error diagnosis device has: an input unit that receives detected values for pressure inside the common rail; a calculation unit that, if the detected values are less than a target common rail pressure, calculates the pressure differences and the fuel pump discharge amounts; and a determination unit that determines whether or not a set time has lapsed in a state in which the pressure differences are at least a first threshold value and less than a second threshold value and the discharge amounts are at least a third threshold value and less than a fourth threshold value. The determination unit determines that an error has occurred in the high-pressure pump if the set time has lapsed and determines that an error has occurred in the flowrate adjustment valve if the set time has not lapsed.

The determination unit determines that an error has occurred in the high-pressure pump if the set time has lapsed and determines that an error has occurred in the flowrate adjustment valve if the set time has not lapsed.
