Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1039117A2] The present invention proposes a method of abnormality determination for a high-pressure fuel injection system, which is capable of enlarging a range where a fuel force-feed timing or a fuel injection timing can be changed, and of determining occurrence of an abnormality with high precision. An electronic control unit (ECU)(60) detects a change in fuel pressure in a common rail (20) (rail pressure change amount), estimates a change in rail pressure based on an injection command value, a force-feed command value and the like, and makes a first abnormality determination based on the detected value and the estimated value. If occurrence of an abnormality is confirmed in the first abnormality determination, the ECU (60) restricts a timing for starting force-feeding of fuel such that only fuel injection is carried out in a second determination period. The ECU (60) then compares a detected value of a change in rail pressure with a value of a change in rail pressure estimated based on the injection command value and the like, and additionally makes a second abnormality determination. <IMAGE>
