  • Patent number: 10393125
    Abstract: A cooling system includes a cooling device and an electronic control device for controlling the cooling device. The cooling device has a rotating component for delivering cooling medium and a drive source for controlling the rotating component. The electronic control device stores diagnosis reference information, which indicates an actual rotation speed acceptable range when an actual rotation speed of the drive source is apart from an instructed rotation speed of the drive source. The actual rotation speed acceptable range is an acceptable range of the actual rotation speed. The acceptable range changes according to the instructed rotation speed and a voltage value applied to the drive source. The electronic control device obtains the acceptable range based on the diagnosis reference information to determine whether the cooling device is in a normal state.

  • Patent number: 9381913
    Abstract: A system for cooling a power control device of a hybrid vehicle includes a cooling device for cooling a power control device, an electronic control device for controlling the cooling device, and an intake temperature sensor. The electronic control device determine whether the vehicle is in a reference traveling state with an intake amount ensured to be greater than or equal to a reference intake amount. When determining that the vehicle is in the reference traveling state, the control device determines presence or absence of abnormality in the cooling device using an intake temperature detected by the intake temperature sensor. When determining that the vehicle is not in the reference traveling state, the control device refrains from determining presence or absence of abnormality in the cooling device.
