20210131391 · 2021-05-06 · ·

A method of diagnosing a temperature sensor provided at a rear stage of an air filter includes: comparing a heating condition factor with a factor threshold; when the heating condition factor is less than the factor threshold, calculating a deviation between a temperature of an intake manifold and a temperature of intake air at a rear stage of an air filter; comparing a temperature threshold with the deviation; and, when the deviation exceeds the temperature threshold, diagnosing the intake air temperature sensor provided at the rear stage of the air filter as failing. According to the method, failure of a temperature sensor provided at a rear state of an air filter of an engine room can be diagnosed.

AIR CLEANER

An air cleaner includes a case having an internal space, a filter element capable of partitioning the internal space into a first space and a second space, an intake port that introduces an air into the first space therethrough, an exhaust port that discharges an air from the second space, and at least one baffle part projecting toward the filter element from an inner surface of the case. The baffle part diffuses the air introduced into the first space and introduces the air to the filter element. The baffle part includes a widened baffle part. The widened baffle part includes a guide section extending along an extending surface of the filter element and a widened section larger in width than the guide section.
