    摘要: A catalytic diagnostic apparatus for determining whether a catalyst of an internal combustion engine has deteriorated as disclosed. Air-fuel ratio sensors are placed at the upstream and downstream sides of the catalytic converter, and the output signal from the upstream air-fuel sensor is used to control the air-fuel mixture provided to the engine via the fuel injectors, in a conventional closed loop operation. Diagnosis of the condition of the catalytic converter is performed only when selected engine operating parameters fall within a predetermined diagnostic range. When the engine is operated in the diagnostic range, the condition of the catalytic converter is analyzed by calculating a deterioration index based on a comparison of the variation of the output signals from the upstream and downstream air-fuel ratio sensors. In a preferred embodiment, a look-up table is provided to correct the deterioration index, based on the intake air flow rate to the engine, and on the cyclic frequency of the variation of the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor.

    摘要: During an abnormal stop condition of an internal combustion engine, the semiconductor devices which control the supply of current to the ignition coils during a dwell time are subject to damage by a high transient current. To prevent this, at least one predetermined time interval is selected on the basis of detected engine temperatures and/or battery supply voltage level and this selected time interval is compared to a time period between reference pulses from a crank angle sensor. When the time period between reference pulses exceeds the selected time interval, a stop condition of the engine is indicated and the semiconductor devices which supply ignition current are controlled to shorten the dwell time or entirely stop the supply of current to the ignition coils.
