Method and system for performing evaporative emissions diagnostics
Methods and systems for performing diagnostics on an evaporative emission are described. The methods and systems may include evaluating pressure or vacuum development within an evaporative emissions system over time to determine the presence or absence of a breach in the evaporative emissions system. If a breach is identified, mitigating actions may be performed.
SYSTEM FOR VARIABLY CONTROLLING ENGINE-ON LINE IN CONSIDERATION OF COOLING AFTER FATC ENGINE IS TURNED ON
A control method capable of variably applying an existing engine-on line includes: a prediction degree calculation unit to predict a degree to which a temperature of a coolant at a current point after the engine is turned off reaches a target temperature by a request of full automatic temperature control (FATC); a factor determination unit to set reference ranges divided based on an extent that the temperature is close to the target temperature, and to determine a factor value for each reference range so that a predetermined existing engine-on line or a predetermined existing engine-off line is varied by required power; and an engine on/off line determination unit configured to determine a corrected engine-on line or a corrected engine-off line by calculating the existing engine-on line or the existing engine-off line and the factor value in the reference range in which a calculation value is positioned.
