Method for diagnosis of the faults in units of an internal combustion engine air supply system

摘要

Method for diagnosis of the faults in units of an internal combustion engine (1) air supply system, comprising a flow meter (11), which provides a measured flow rate signal (QAM) which is correlated to a flow rate of fresh air admitted by the engine, and a valve (24) for recirculation of the exhaust gases, to supply the engine in a controlled manner with a fraction of the exhaust gases. The method consists of carrying out first checks (100-120), in conditions which are independent from the operative state of the valve (24), in order to verify a first level of efficiency of the flow meter (11); if the first level of efficiency of the said flow meter (11) is verified, carrying out second checks (130-140), in conditions which are compatible with the first level of efficiency of the flow meter (11), in order to verify a first level of efficiency of the valve (24).
