Test diagnostics of engine systems in passenger cars

One of the priority directions in the development of instrument diagnostics of car engines is test diagnostics. The main advantages of such testing are: significant coverage of the diagnosed engine systems; high informativeness and reliability of the diagnostic process with general simplification of the diagnostic process; reduction in the number of diagnostic parameters. In addition, one can achieve high automation of diagnostic process operations, adaptation of diagnostics interfaces and high intuitive level of functioning algorithms. The authors developed a diagnostic instrumental tool - a loader for gasoline engines (LGE-3), as well as a device for fixing the position of the throttle. The loader of the gasoline engine LGE-3 allows us to create any load and speed mode. Load on the cylinder is provided due to a complete shutdown of fuel in any cylinder and by disabling individual fuel cycles in the selected cylinder. The results of experimental studies on the example of electromagnetic injectors have shown a high efficiency of test diagnostics. The diagnostics modes at 25 and 70% degree of throttle valve opening are designed and recommended.
