Abstract: A fuel system for a motor vehicle includes a fuel pump having a first pump outlet connectable to an engine fuel inlet and a second pump outlet, a fuel pump module including an internal volume, a fuel pump module outlet is arranged in the internal volume fluidically connected to the second pump outlet, and a fuel valve is fluidically connected to the second pump outlet. The fuel valve is operable to fluidically isolate the fuel pump from the fuel pump module when fuel in the internal volume reaches a selected fuel level.

Abstract: A returnless fuel system includes a fuel injector, an accumulator, a first fuel pump assembly and a second fuel pump assembly. The accumulator is adapted to store pressurized fuel that is utilized by the fuel injector during prescribed conditions. The first fuel pump assembly is adapted to supply the pressurized fuel at a controlled pressure to the fuel injector. The second fuel pump assembly is in fluid communication with the accumulator and the first fuel pump assembly, and is adapted to provide the pressurized fuel at a controlled pressure to the first fuel pump assembly and the accumulator.

Abstract: A gasoline Reid vapor pressure (RVP) detection system includes a fuel pump and a motor operating the fuel pump in a forward direction of rotation to feed a gasoline fuel to a vehicle engine. A control device is in communication with the motor selectively directing change from the forward direction of rotation to a reverse direction of rotation opposite to the forward direction of rotation. A pressure reduction device receives flow of the fuel during operation in the reverse direction of rotation and reduces a pressure of the fuel until fuel vaporization occurs. A pump speed at which vaporization of the fuel occurs at the pressure reduction device when a motor speed and a motor current change non-linearly is correlated to a fuel RVP.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine, an exhaust system, and a controller. The exhaust system includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device, and a rear nitrogen oxide (NOx) sensor. The controller, which is in communication with the NOx sensor, includes a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory. A plurality of data maps and a plurality of binary maps are recorded in memory. Each data map is indexed by a different pair of exhaust system performance values. Each cell of each data map is populated by estimated downstream NOx levels. The binary maps are indexed by one of the pairs of exhaust system performance values. Each cell of each binary map is populated by a binary value, i.e., a 0 or 1. The controller uses the data maps and the binary maps to execute a control action with respect to the exhaust system, such as verifying plausibility of the rear NOx sensor.

Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment system includes a particulate filter to collect particulate matter from exhaust gas flowing therethrough. The particulate filter realizes a pressure thereacross in response to the exhaust gas flow. A delta pressure sensor determines a first pressure upstream from the particulate filter and a second pressure downstream from the particulate filter. A delta pressure module is in electrical communication with the delta pressure sensor. The delta pressure module determines a pressure differential value based on a difference between the first pressure and the second pressure and generates a diagnostic signal based on a plurality of the pressure differential values and a predetermined time period.
