摘要:
When the remaining capacity of a battery on a hybrid vehicle is smaller than a threshold value or the battery is unable to output the amount of electric energy required to propel the hybrid vehicle with a propulsive electric motor, the engine is started by a generator which operates in a motor mode. After the engine has been warmed up, the generator operates in a generator mode to generate electric energy which is supplied to the battery and the propulsive electric motor. The threshold value for the remaining capacity of the battery is greater as the atmospheric pressure is lower. Therefore, if the hybrid vehicle is running under a low atmospheric pressure such as on a highland, the electric energy is supplied from the generator to the battery and the propulsive electric motor at an early stage where the capacity of the battery is relatively high. The generator also starts to generate electric energy when the battery is unable to output an amount of electric energy sufficient enough to propel the hybrid vehicle.

A method and apparatus are provided for controlling the solenoid current of a solenoid valve which controls the amount of suction air in an internal combustion engine. An actual current flowing through the solenoid is detected and a solenoid current control value is calculated as a function of engine operating conditions. A corrected solenoid current control value is determined as a function of the solenoid current control value and a feedback control term is calculated as a function of the difference between the corrected solenoid current control value and the actual solenoid current. An initial value for the feedback control term is determined as a function of an integration term which forms part of the feedback control term. A pulse duration signal is determined as a function of the corrected solenoid current value and an output pulse duration signal is calculated as a function of the pulse duration signal and the feedback control term. In another aspect, a predetermined current control value is used as the corrected solenoid current control value when the engine speed is above a predetermined value. In still a further aspect, the output pulse duration is corrected as a function of battery voltage.
摘要:
A method of detecting abnormalities through fault diagnosis applied to at least one input unit or output unit by an electronic control unit to which the input unit or output unit is connected. The method comprises the steps of subjecting the input unit or output unit to fault diagnosis, storing information, which is indicative of abnormality, in a first storage area of the electronic control unit when the abnormality is detected as the result of the diagnosis, storing information, which is indicative of the abnormality, in a second storage area of the electronic control unit when the abnormality is detected as the result of subjecting the input or output unit to fault diagnosis again, and rendering a decision to the effect that the input unit or output unit which has undergone the fault detection operation is abnormal when it is determined that the contents stored in the first and second storage areas are identical.
摘要:
When the engine RPM falls below a lower limit of a target RPM of idling while an engine is in an idle operation, a control valve is shifted to the open-loop control mode instead of the conventional feedback control mode so as to enable the engine RPM range to be quickly increased up to within the target RPM of idling rotations. Said control valve is disposed in a bypass which communicates with the upstream side and the downstream side of the throttle valve in intake passage to adjust the volume of an inspired air. The solenoid current command (amount of control) for adjusting the opening degree of the control valve during the period of the open-loop control mode is set at a level higher than that immediately before the feedback control mode shifts to the open-loop control mode.

A method and apparatus is provided for controlling the solenoid current of a solenoid valve which controls the amount of suction air in an internal combustion engine. A solenoid current control valve is calculated and a present time value of solenoid current is detected after which a deviation between the present time solenoid current and the solenoid current control value is calculated. A correction value for the present time solenoid current control value is calculated based upon the deviation and a corrected solenoid current control value is determined as a function of the present time solenoid current control value and the correction value.

A method of feedback-controlling the air-fuel ratio of a mixture, supplied to an internal combustion engine, by at least one of proportional control and integral control in dependence upon the results of a comparison between the output of an exhaust gas concentration sensor and a predetermined reference value. The method includes obtaining the ratio of a first time period required for an output value from the exhaust gas concentration sensor to make a transition from a peak value on a rich side to a predetermined reference value with respect to the predetermined reference value, and a second time period required for the output value to make a transition from a peak value on a lean side to the predetermined reference value with respect to the predetermined reference value, and altering, in dependence upon the ratio obtained, at least one predetermined control factor applied to control of the air-fuel ratio.
摘要:
Feedback control of the opening area of a bypass which is provided in parallel with a throttle valve of an engine is conducted immediately after the cranking is completed, based on the deviation of existing RPM from the target RPM which is memorized as the function of the engine temperature in advance, to maintain the idling RPM of the engine at optimum level in the state of after-cranking without being affected by the possible change in viscosity of engine oil, the variations in temperatures of the ambient air and the engine cooling water, the load of engine, and so on. The control signals for the feedback control are learned when the existing RPM are substantially equal to the target RPM and stored in a memory. One of the learned values is read out for fixing a control signal in the beginning of the state of after-cranking so that the RPM of the engine is smoothly approximated to the target RPM when the engine shifts from the during-cranking state to the idling state.
摘要:
An intake air quantity control method for an internal combustion engine at idle. A supplementary air quantity to be supplied to the engine through a first auxiliary air passage bypassing an engine throttle valve is controlled by a first control valve on the basis of a basic value of a control amount corresponding to the difference between actual engine speed and desired idling speed. A supplementary air quantity to be supplied to the engine through a second auxiliary air passage is controlled by a second control valve in response to engine temperature. A first correction value is calculated based upon detected atmospheric pressure encompassing the engine, and a second correction value based upon detected engine temperature and atmospheric pressure, respectively. The basic value of the control amount is corrected by means of the first and second correction values, and the first control valve is driven according to the corrected control amount basic value. Preferably, the second correction value is calculated from a value of the control amount corresponding to a supplementary air quantity estimated to be supplied through the second control valve at the detected engine temperature and from the first correction value based upon the detected atmospheric pressure.
摘要:
A method for controlling air-fuel ratio of the mixture to be supplied to the engine detects whether or not the amount of the fuel to be supplied to the engine is greater than a reference amount. A feedback control in which the air-fuel ratio is corrected according to an oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is performed when the amount of the fuel to be supplied to the engine is equal to or smaller than the reference level, while an open loop control in which the air-fuel ratio of the mixture is determined irrespective of the oxygen concentration is performed if the amount of the fuel to be supplied to the engine is greater than the reference level. The reference amount is changed depending on the engine rotational speed so as to eliminate the overlap of a range of the fuel increment control and a range of the feedback control and greatly improve the driveability of the engine during high load operating conditions of the engine.
