Análisis del consumo de combustible en un vehículo de categoría M1 utilizando el dispositivo ECO-OBD2 mediante un ciclo de conducción en el Distrito Metropolitano de Quito

Abstract

In this article we will analyze the fuel consumption of a vehicle with the use of the device called ECO OBD2, which has been developed to save up to 15% and reduce polluting emissions from the vehicle. The quantitative methodology was used that allowed us to obtain results from information about the device, using a Nissan Versa brand vehicle, from 2015. The tests carried out are based on cartographies of the car when it is under normal condition and when the ECO device is implemented. OBD2; using sophisticated equipment such as an automotive scanner, disconnection box, software and interfaces that allowed data to be read from different conditions, which was necessarily implemented because the ECU, being very secure, did not allow the extraction of data from the OBD-II port of the vehicle. In addition, a route was established within the Metropolitan District of Quito to evaluate the vehicle, considering the type of fuel, environmental conditions and driving style. The vehicle's ECU allowed access to the ECO OBD2 device, affecting significant values in the oxygen sensor 1 and in turn within the fuel adjustment values, when the vehicle was in idle phase or due to some situation the drive was stopped, However, the device does not affect the loss of strength or power.
