METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES WITH AUTOMATIC IGNITION ON THE BASIS OF TORQUE MEASUREMENT IN TRACTION CONDITIONS

The paper presents a new method for diagnosing internal combustion engines with automatic ignition in traction conditions. Its substance involves determination of engine torque on the basis of recording of acceleration in road conditions. Extensive preliminary and primary experimental research has been conducted. Three variants of the internal combustion engine diagnostic model have been developed using a trivalent evaluation of states. Algorithms have been proposed to control a state and location of engine defects. The new method has been verified in traction conditions. A probability of a correct diagnosis of internal combustion engine is 0.85 ÷ 1
