Closing the Loop

December 1, 2008
By:Tony Martin

It was going to happen eventually; closed-loop combustion control has finally been introduced to the diesel world. Since the first electronically controlled diesel engines appeared in the mid-80s, diesels have been required to operate in an open-loop environment. This was not a problem at the time, because it was relatively easy to meet existing emission control standards without using feedback from the combustion process. These earlier engines relied first on ECM calibrations and then catalysts to bring their emissions into compliance.

Scope & Scan: GMLAN Functional Diagnostics

December 1, 2008
By:Jim Garrido

Starting in 2004, some GM vehicles began using a new data network system called GMLAN. GMLAN networks use a new "Node Management Strategy." GMLAN is different from the older Class 2 network strategy where modules wake up and send a State Of Health (SOH) message approximately every two seconds. With GMLAN, only the modules involved in a given Virtual System of modules are "awake" and communicating at the appropriate time.
