Abstract
A method for diagnosing a failure of a solenoid valve of a piston cooling device is provided. The method includes varying a pressure in a variable proportional control oil pump when an opening command or a closing command of the solenoid valve is sent to inject oil from the piston cooling device. Additionally, a variation of an oil pressure in an oil flow path of the piston cooling device is monitoring according to a variation of the pressure in the variable proportional control oil pump and whether a failure occurs at the solenoid valve of the piston cooling device is then determined.
