The method for calculating the fuel injection amount of a fuel vapor dual purge system may include the steps of calculating, by a controller, volumetric efficiency of a combustion chamber, determining, by the controller, a fuel vapor detection delay time at which the fuel vapor is detected in a surge tank according to the calculated volumetric efficiency of a combustion chamber, calculating, by the controller, a time at which the fuel vapor is injected into the combustion chamber based on the determined fuel vapor detection delay time, and calculating, by the controller, a fuel vapor total injection amount at the time at which the fuel vapor is injected into the combustion chamber. The method may be performed in a turbocharger operation section.

Methods and systems are provided for diagnostics of an intake air system hydrocarbon (AIS HC) trap during vehicle-off conditions. In one example, a method may include generating fuel vapor in a fuel tank, directing the generated vapor to the AIS HC trap, and then actively purging the AIS HC trap. Degradation of the AIS HC trap may be indicated based on an exhaust air fuel ratio during the active purging of the AIS HC trap.

Methods and systems are provided for an evaporative emissions system diagnostic. In one example, a method may include adjusting a controller operation in response to a fuel tank volume. A vehicle may determine sunrise and sunset times via a wireless modem and may relay the sunrise and sunset times to other vehicles within a threshold distance.

Disclosed is a diagnostic method of diagnosing sticking of a canister purge valve comprising steps of: controlling opening and closing of the canister purge valve in order to diagnose sticking of the canister purge valve and calculating a throttle learning value for acquiring variation in an air inflow amount based on an intake air pressure sensor and an throttle opening amount in each of control sections; comparing the throttle learning values calculated in each of control sections and acquiring variation in the air inflow amount flowing from the canister purge valve when the canister purge valve is opened and closed; and determining whether the canister purge valve is stuck or not based on the variation in the air inflow amount.

A purge system of a vehicle for purging CH-gas of a tank system to an induction line of a combustion engine of the vehicle. The purge system includes a purge unit, a control unit for operating the purge unit and gas connection lines, wherein a first line end of the gas connection lines is configured for connecting the purge unit with the tank system and a second line end of the gas connection lines is configured for connecting the purge unit with the induction line. The purge system also includes a CH-sensor for measuring a CH-gas concentration of a fluid volume flow that flows from the first line end towards the second line end. A vehicle and a method for operating a combustion engine system of a vehicle with a purge system is also provided.

A method for diagnosing leakage of a fuel vapor dual purge system is provided. The method includes determining whether an operation region of a vehicle is an operation region in which a turbocharger is operated and adjusting a flow amount of intake air flowing into the turbocharger according to an operation region in which the turbocharger is operated. A hydrocarbon collecting amount of a canister connecting fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank is calculated and a flow amount of the fuel vapor passing first and second purge lines is adjusted. A leak of the fuel vapor is diagnosed in the first purge line and the second purge line.

An ECU functioning as a diagnostic device includes an information acquisition portion acquiring a flow rate of a fluid flowing through an intake pipe, and a diagnostic portion performing a diagnosis on a second purge pipe employed as a fuel gas pipe regarding a connection failure. The diagnostic portion diagnoses a connection failure of the fuel gas pipe according to magnitude of a pulsation of the flow rate acquired by the information acquisition portion.

A system and method for leak check module including first and second solenoid valves. A first solenoid valve is configured to be coupled between a fuel vapor canister and atmospheric air for controlling air flow in a first flow path between the fuel vapor canister and atmospheric air. A pump is configured to be coupled to atmospheric air. A second solenoid valve is configured to be coupled between the pump and the fuel vapor canister for controlling air flow in a second flow path between the fuel vapor canister and atmospheric air through the pump.

Methods and systems are provided for controlling a duty cycle of a purge valve configured to regulate a purge flow from a fuel vapor storage canister to an intake of an engine during canister purging events. In one example, a method includes controlling a duty cycle of a purge valve configured to regulate a purge flow from a fuel vapor storage canister to an intake of an engine during a canister purging event based on a degradation factor obtained by comparison of durations at which a predetermined pressure is reached in an evaporative emissions system at multiple purge valve activation levels. In this way, a flow map stored at a controller may be updated for controlling the purge valve during subsequent purging events.

Methods and systems are provided for conducting an evaporative emissions test diagnostic on a vehicle fuel system and evaporative emissions control system during engine-on conditions. In one example, a first fuel vapor storage device is separated from a second fuel vapor storage device by a one-way check valve, thus preventing loading of the first fuel vapor storage device during conditions such as refueling operations, diurnal temperature fluctuations, or from running-loss vapors from a vehicle fuel tank. In this way, the evaporative emissions test diagnostic may be conducted during a cold-start event where an exhaust catalyst is below a predetermined threshold temperature required for catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons in the engine exhaust, without increasing undesired exhaust emissions.
