  • Engine ventilation system diagnostics using pressure measurement
    Patent number: 9983088
    Abstract: A system comprising an engine including a chamber; an air intake coupled to the engine; a pressure sensor disposed in fluid communication with the air intake and disposed between the air intake and the chamber; and a processor configured to determine a breach in a ventilation system of the chamber in response to the pressure sensor.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 29, 2018
    Assignee: Cummins Inc.
    Inventors: Jeremiah Nethercutt, Debangshu Sadhukhan
  • Method and system to diagnose thermostat failure in engine with onboard diagnostics
    Patent number: 9605584
    Abstract: A system includes an internal combustion engine having a thermostat provided to selectively allow coolant flow through the engine, and a coolant temperature determination device that provides a coolant temperature value. The system further includes a controller structured to functionally execute operations to diagnose the thermostat. The controller determines whether the engine is providing a high output operation. When the engine is providing a high output operation, the controller determines the thermostat is passed in response to the coolant temperature value exceeding a first threshold temperature value.
