  • Evaporative Emission Control System Monitoring
    Publication number: 20150120165
    Abstract: A monitoring sub-system coupled to an evaporative emission canister fluidically coupled to a fuel tank and an engine of a machine includes one or more temperature sensors and a control module coupled to receive sensory output from the temperature sensors. The temperature sensors measure temperature within the evaporative emission canister. The control module is configured to monitor a sorption capacity of the evaporative emission canister based on the received sensory output.

  • OBDII readiness status notification device
    Patent number: 7012512
    Abstract: A device for notifying an operator of the readiness of a vehicle for emissions testing includes a control logic for evaluating the status of each of a plurality of the monitors of an on-board diagnostics (OBDII) system of the vehicle. Once the vehicle is determined to be ready for emissions testing based on the status of each evaluated monitor of the OBDII system, an indicator light is illuminated and/or an audio signal is emitted to notify the operator.
