  • Publication number: 20220379875
    Abstract: The present disclosure is to provide a method of controlling limp home driving of a hybrid vehicle. When the hybrid vehicle enters into a limp home driving mode with a starter generator malfunctioning, a motor control unit performs constant voltage control on counter electromotive force of a motor, so that a constant voltage is supplied to high-voltage components as an input voltage, thereby ensuring that high-voltage components are protected and operable.

  • Patent number: 10836267
    Abstract: An electronic vehicle includes a power electronic component; a cooling water storage unit receiving cooling water capable of cooling the power electronic component; and a vehicle charging connection unit connected to an external cable at an external charger-side thereof and disposed on a path through which the cooling water is circulated. The circulating cooling water cools the vehicle charging connection unit.

  • Patent number: 10774728
    Abstract: A fault diagnosis apparatus of a coolant circulation system for a vehicle includes: a water pump for circulating coolant; a controller for applying a revolutions per minute (RPM) command to the water pump; a water pump driver for operating the water pump depending on the applied RPM command; and a current sensor for sensing an current input to the water pump driver. The controller determines whether the input current sensed by the current sensor is within a predetermined normal range to determine whether the coolant circulation system is failed or not.

  • Patent number: 10486535
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for preventing overheating of a charging inlet are provided. The apparatus includes a charging time measuring unit that measures a charging time and a temperature estimating unit that estimates a temperature of the charging inlet based on the measured charging time and a charging parameter. A charging parameter setting unit sets the charging parameter by communicating with a charger and resets the charging parameter to prevent the temperature of the charging inlet from exceeding a threshold temperature.
