A system and method for monitoring the negative impact of a filtration system on the fuel economy of an internal combustion engine. A filter monitoring controller receives engine operating parameters of the internal combustion engine. The filter monitoring controller determines an amount of power generated by the internal combustion engine based at least in part on the engine operating parameters. The filter monitoring controller determines a filter hydraulic power consumption of a filtration system providing a fluid to the internal combustion engine. The filter monitoring controller determines a fuel economy impact of the filtration system on the internal combustion engine based at least in part on the filter hydraulic power consumption of the filtration system. The filter monitoring controller compares the fuel economy impact of the filtration system to a threshold fuel economy impact to determine whether a filter element of the filtration system requires servicing.

Various methods and systems are provided for health assessments of a fuel system. In one example, a method for an inlet metering valve (IMV) includes reducing electrical driving of the IMV, monitoring a response time of the IMV in real-time responsive to the reducing, and determining if the IMV is degraded based on a response of IMV current over a duration, the duration beginning after an initial decrease in current caused by the reducing.

A method for calibrating a fuel pump for use in a fuel supply system of a device having internal combustion engine includes determining a tolerance-conditioned and wear-conditioned deviation of the fuel pump with respect to its delivery behavior so that the calibration permits energy-consumption-optimized actuation of the fuel pump.

A diagnosis apparatus of a fuel supply system includes an operation state detector, an air-fuel ratio sensor, a fuel injection amount calculator, a threshold value table, an abnormality information acquiring device, and an abnormality determining device. In the threshold value table, operation ranges of an internal combustion engine are provided based on an engine speed and a throttle opening. In the threshold value table, a lean side threshold value and a rich side threshold value of an air-fuel ratio correction factor to determine abnormality of the fuel supply system are set beforehand for each of the operation ranges. The abnormality information acquiring device is configured to determine whether the air-fuel ratio correction factor has exceeded the lean side threshold value or the rich side threshold value extracted from the threshold value table according to an operation state so as to acquire abnormality information.

A fuel injection control method of injecting fuel to a combustion chamber through an injector, the method may include performing, by a controller electrically-connected to the injector, a main injection configured of controlling the injector to inject the fuel in a target injection fuel amount; and performing, by the controller, a pre-energizing configured of driving the injector to inject the fuel in advance, before the performing of the main injection with a predetermined idle time interposed therebetween, wherein the performing of the pre-energizing is configured of magnetizing an injector coil of the injector by applying a current to the injector during a predetermined pre-energizing time, in which a flow rate of the fuel is prevented from being generated by the pre-energizing.

An abnormality diagnosis system is applied to a fuel supply system including a fuel pump that pumps fuel from a fuel tank and a fuel pipe in which fuel discharged from the fuel pump flows. The abnormality diagnosis system stores a minimum fuel pressure in the fuel pipe in one trip after a main switch of the fuel supply system is turned on and until the main switch is turned off and data indicating a state when the minimum fuel pressure was recorded as diagnosis data in a storage device. In the abnormality diagnosis system, an execution device determines a failure spot associated with a decrease in fuel pressure in the fuel pipe using the diagnosis data stored in the storage device and diagnoses an abnormality of the fuel supply system.

An injector failure cylinder diagnosis method based on signal deviation of an injector failure diagnosis system measures, by a controller, noise/vibration signals due to the combustion of an engine, separates an injector abnormal frequency band signal as an injector signal from the noise/vibration signals, divides cylinder number time series data, which use a signal maximum value of the noise/vibration signals as a cylinder #1, into segments, extracts a feature vector after confirming a segment number of the cylinder #1 with a vibration reduction signal of the noise/vibration signals re-measured using one of the cylinders as an idle cylinder and sorting it by injector causing vibration time series data, and confirms a failure injector with the feature vector, thereby independently diagnosing whether the injector for each cylinder is normal or abnormal considering the deviation of the noise/vibration signals between the injectors for each cylinder from the measured noise and vibration signals.

A control device is applied to a fuel supply system including a fuel pump that rotates an impeller in a housing and pumps fuel from a fuel tank and a fuel pipe in which fuel discharged from the fuel pump flows. The control device controls the fuel pump. The control device includes an execution device and a storage device that stores a program of a process which is performed by the execution device. In the control device, the execution device performs a coping process of increasing an amount of operation of the impeller when the impeller is deformed and interference with the housing is detected in comparison with a case in which the interference is not detected.
