摘要： An exhaust gas sensor has a sensing element having a sensing area that detects certain components in exhaust gas, a holder that supports a base end portion of the sensing element and has a sensor-mounting structure for sensor installation, and a protector that is fixed to the holder and protects the sensing area of the sensing element. To support the sensing element, a sensing element insertion hole for receiving the base end portion of the sensing element is formed at the holder. Then, a clearance between an inner surface of the sensing element insertion hole and a surface of the sensing area is set to be smaller than a clearance between an inner surface of the protector and the surface of the sensing area.

摘要： A system for estimating the temperature of an oxygen sensor installed in an exhaust system of an engine comprises a section for sensing a load of the engine; a section for sensing a rotation speed of the engine; and a section which, based on both the engine load and the engine rotation speed, calculates a basic estimated temperature of the oxygen sensor which would appear under a normal condition. A section is employed which senses a speed of the vehicle. A section is employed which, based on the vehicle speed, determines a first correction factor for correcting the basic estimated temperature. A section is employed which senses the temperature of outside air. A section is employed which, based on the outside air temperature, determines a second correction factor for correcting the basic estimated temperature. A target estimated temperature calculating section is employed which, based on the basic estimated temperature and the first and second correction factors, calculates a target estimated temperature of the oxygen sensor and issues an output signal representative of the target estimated temperature. A stopper section is further employed which suppresses the target estimated temperature calculating section from issuing the output signal or calculating the target estimated temperature until a predetermined time passes from a time on which energization of the electric heater starts.

摘要： A bent front wall 2a of a roof panel 2 is not bent at least inwardly of a press-worked direction of the roof panel 2, so that a front end of the roof panel 2 is free from undercut formation. This eliminates the necessity to further machine the front wall 2a of the press-worked roof panel 2, using for example a cam. Thus, manufacturing cost may be reduced without increasing man-hour.

摘要： In a heated type oxygen sensor having a sensing element responding to changes in the exhaust oxygen content and a heater inside, a diagnostic system for diagnosing deterioration of the heated type oxygen sensor comprises an electronic control unit being responsive to an engine temperature for discriminating whether the engine is in a cold-engine state or in a fully warmed-up state. The diagnostic system includes a first warm-up time setting circuit for setting a predetermined oxygen sensor's warm-up time at a first delay time which is preset to be suitable for the cold-engine state, during cold-engine operations, and a second warm-up time setting circuit for setting the predetermined oxygen sensor's warm-up time at a second delay time which is preprogrammed to be suitable for the fully warmed-up state, during fully warmed-up engine operations. The diagnostic system makes a diagnosis on deterioration of the oxygen sensor under a particular condition in which an elapsed time, measured from a time when the heater is turned on, reaches the predetermined oxygen sensor's warm-up time set depending on during cold-engine operation or during fully warmed up engine operation.
