A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a fault command module, a fuel control module, and a fault detection module. The fault command module selectively generates a command to induce a fuel system fault based on a user input. The fuel control module automatically adjusts a fuel correction factor to a target value outside of a first predetermined range in response to the command to induce a fuel system fault. The fuel control module actuates a fuel injector associated with a cylinder of an engine based on the fuel correction factor. The fault detection module detects a fuel system fault when the fuel correction factor is outside of the first predetermined range.

System and method for inducing a fuel system fault

A diagnostic system for a vehicle is disclosed. A first difference module generates a first difference based on a first pressure measured at a first secondary air injection (SAI) valve and a previous value of the first pressure. A first summer module generates a first accumulated difference based on a sum of values of the first difference generated during a predetermined period. A second difference module generates a second difference based on a second pressure measured at a second SAI valve and a previous value of the second pressure. A second summer module generates a second accumulated difference based on a sum of values of the second difference generated during the predetermined period. A fault indication module selectively indicates that a fault is present downstream of one of the first and second SAI valves based on the first and second accumulated differences.
