Patent number: 11542879Abstract: An EGR device for a vehicle includes a valve driver, a pressure comparison unit, a freeze determination unit, and an EGR controller. The valve driver drives an EGR valve to open, when fuel cut has been continued for a predetermined time in a state where an engine speed of a vehicle's engine is equal to or higher than a predetermined rotational speed. The pressure comparison unit compares a pre-driving pressure of an engine's intake pipe with a post-driving pressure of the intake pipe. The freeze determination unit sets a flag indicating that the EGR valve is frozen when a difference between the pre-driving pressure and the post-driving pressure is less than a predetermined value and an external temperature is less than a threshold. When the flag has been set, the EGR controller sets a control state of the EGR valve to a closed state and stops EGR control.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Kenichi Yamamoto, Kenji Hijikata, Masafumi Hanazawa, Tomomichi Shiono, Daisuke Kugo, Noriyuki Matsuda
