Diseño y construcción de un módulo generador de fallas para motores a gasolina.

Abstract

The problematic situation that is addressed in the degree project is the design and construction of a fault generator module for gasoline engines, due to the need of having an efficient and low cost tool to perform fault diagnosis tests in gasoline engines. Nowadays, the existing diagnostic methods involve the use of specialized and expensive equipment, which makes it difficult for many professionals and students of automotive mechanics to access it. Hence, the objective of this project is to design and build a fault generator module for gasoline engines that allows diagnostic tests to be performed efficiently and economically. This module simulates different types of faults in a gasoline engine demonstrating efficiency and accessibility for students and professionals of automotive mechanics. This a great and important tool for the training of automotive mechanic’s students, allowing them to become familiar with fault diagnosis techniques and improve their practical skills in this field. In addition, its use can contribute to reducing vehicle maintenance and repair costs, allowing faster and more accurate identification of faults in gasoline engines. To sum up, the problematic situation covered in this project is the lack of access to efficient and economical tools to perform diagnostic tests for gasoline engine failures. By designing and building a failure generator module for gasoline engines, we solve the problem of accessibility and efficiency.
