  • Patent number: 8746030
    Abstract: A rationality diagnosis method and a rationality diagnosis apparatus for a sensor inside a tank are provided. The rationality diagnosis method and the rationality diagnosis apparatus can accurately and easily perform a diagnosis to determine whether rationality of all sensors is maintained. The rationality diagnosis method for the sensor inside the tank performs a rationality diagnosis of a concentration sensor, a liquid level sensor and a temperature sensor that are provided inside the tank that stores liquid. The rationality diagnosis method is characterized by diagnosing whether the rationality is lost in one of the concentration sensor, the liquid level sensor and the temperature sensor by determining whether there exists any contradiction between respective sensor values of the concentration sensor, the liquid level sensor and the temperature sensor.

  • Patent number: 8303174
    Abstract: A temperature sensor plausibility diagnosis unit performs plausibility diagnosis of a temperature sensor disposed inside a storage tank in an exhaust purification apparatus of an internal combustion engine that delivers an additive inside the storage tank to an exhaust pipe upstream of a reduction catalyst and selectively reduces and purifies NOx in the exhaust. The temperature sensor plausibility diagnosis unit includes an additive heat capacity calculating portion that calculates the heat capacity of the additive, a heat quantity variation calculating portion that calculates an increase or decrease in the quantity of heat that the additive receives, and a plausibility diagnosing portion that determines the plausibility of the temperature sensor by comparing an estimated temperature course of the additive estimated from the heat capacity of the additive and the increase or decrease in the quantity of heat with a sensor temperature course of the additive detected by the temperature sensor.
