Abstract

The lecture will provide an introductory overview of several selected topics in automotive engine diagnostics, based on published literature. The topics covered will include misfire monitoring, Three Way Catalyst monitoring, exhaust air fuel ratio sensor monitoring and torque monitoring for gasoline engine applications. The nature of problems and challenges in diesel aftertreatment diagnostics and new frontiers in “driver monitoring” will be touched upon. Whenever appropriate, the presenter will also comment on connection of the presented material with his past and on-going research.
