Crankcase Pressure Sensor (CPS): Rationality Monitor
This OBD rationality monitor for the Crankcase Pressure sensor
evaluates the plausibility of the sensor comparing the Barometric, Intake Air and Crankcase pressure sensor values.
This evaluation is performed in two scenarios:
Engine Pre-Cranking:
A comparison of pressures from all sensors is made. The smallest difference between the three is determined and a reference
pressure is calculated. The Crankcase pressure sensor value is
compared to the reference value and if the difference is above
the threshold a DTC is reported.
Engine Running:
The engine running sensor evaluation is similar to the Pre
Cranking sensor evaluation. The enable conditions are defined
when the vehicle is typically at idle when Barometric and Crankcase pressure are similar to Intake Manifold pressure.
