ABSTRACT:
An engine control system that monitors flow restriction through an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system of an engine includes a first module that calculates a test EGR mass flow rate based on a first average EGR mass flow rate when the EGR system is in an EGR OFF mode and a second average EGR mass flow rate when the EGR system is in an EGR ON mode. A second module selectively generates a fault signal based on the test EGR mass flow rate.
