Abstract: The present invention provides a diagnostic apparatus using a microphone. More specifically, the diagnostic apparatus utilizes a first microphone, a second microphone, a first unit, a controller and second unit. The first microphone is positioned within an engine compartment and the second microphone is positioned within an interior of a vehicle to receive the noise. The second unit records the noise inputted through the first microphone or the second microphone or both and the controller analyzes and diagnoses a vehicle utilizing the noise recorded by the first unit to determine if a failure in the vehicle has occurred. When a vehicle failure is detected by the controller, the second unit then notifies a user of the location of a failed part in the vehicle.

In one example approach, a method comprises: during a first duration when exhaust temperature is below a first temperature threshold, directing exhaust gas through the second turbine and the emission-control device, and adjusting the second turbine to control intake boost; and during a second duration following the first, directing exhaust gas through the first turbine, and adjusting the first turbine to control intake boost. In this way, the first and second turbines may provide a greater degree of boost control in order to reduce boost fluctuations while enabling storing cold start NOx emissions for later reduction.
