Diagnostic Method: Notes

When a misfire occurs, the engine speed will decrease and the crankshaft position speed will change. Calculate the interval difference value (diagnostic value) from crankshaft position speed by the following formula, and judge whether a misfire is occurring or not comparing the calculated result with judgment value. Count the number of misfires, if the misfire ratio is higher during 1000 revs. or 200 revs, judge corresponding cylinders as NG.

Diagnostic value calculation (Calculate from angle speed) → Misfire detection every single ignition (Compare diagnostic value with judgment value) → NG judgment (Misfire occurrence judgment required by the law) (Compare number of misfire with judgment value)
 
  • 120° Interval Difference Method
  • 360° Interval Difference Method
  • 720° Interval Difference Method
  • FTP 1.5 times misfire NG judgment
  • Catalyst damage misfire NG judgment

As shown in the following figure, pick a cylinder as the standard and name it omg 0. And the former crankshaft position speed is named omg 1, the second former crankshaft position speed is named omg 2, the third is named omg 3, etc.
