    摘要: An onboard load control apparatus and a method for detecting a fault of an onboard electrical load with high accuracy are disclosed. The control apparatus comprises an onboard battery mounted on an automotive vehicle, an electrical heater for electrically heating an electrical load such as an electrically-heated catalyst supplied with power from the onboard battery, an auxiliary relay for turning on/off the power to the electrical heater from the onboard battery, and an ECU for controlling the on/off operation of the auxiliary relay. The apparatus further comprises an engine speed detector for detecting the engine speed of the internal combustion engine and a fault judgement unit for judging whether the electrical heater is normal or faulty on the basis of the fluctuation amount of the engine speed of the internal combustion engine detected by the engine speed detector before and after switching the auxiliary relay. A fault of the electrical load is judged by detecting the voltage across the onboard battery while taking the fluctuation amount of the same voltage into consideration. The apparatus further comprises a load condition holder for holding the load condition of a specific load while the engine speed or the battery voltage is detected.

    摘要: Fuel-vapor evaporating from a fuel tank is led through a vapor pipe and absorbed in a charcoal canister. Fuel-vapor stored in the charcoal canister is supplied to an inlet pipe when a purge valve is opened when the engine is driven, because the pressure in the inlet pipe is low. Fuel-vapor is then burned as fuel in the engine. If the opening of the purge valve is suddenly increased at the start of the purge, the air fuel ratio control is disturbed. Therefore, the purge rate is gradually increased and the vapor concentration of the fuel-vapor purged from the charcoal canister is learned, and the change rate of the purge rate is made small because the air-fuel ratio control may be disturbed when the vapor concentration is not learned enough.

    摘要: This fuel injection control apparatus consists of a calculating device for calculating an air-fuel ratio correction factor FAF, a learning device for learning an air-fuel ratio learning factor KG in accordance with the deviation of FAF from the reference value, and a controller for controlling the amount of injected fuel in accordance with FAF and KG. When the start enrichment FASE and the warm-up enrichment FWL are added, KG is learned in accordance with the corrected deviation which is the deviation of FAF corrected by the correction factor f(FASE+FWL) which is concerned with FASE and FWL. The learning accuracy is improved because KG is learned at each region of FWL which is divided into plural regions in accordance with the engine driving conditions.

    摘要: A device for judging the deterioration of a three-way catalyst comprising an upstream O.sub.2 sensor and a downstream O.sub.2 sensor which are arranged in the exhaust passage upstream and downstream of the three-way catalyst respectively. When the ratio of length of the output signal response curve of the downstream O.sub.2 sensor and the length of the output signal response curve of the upstream O.sub.2 sensor is over a threshold level, it is judged that the three-way catalyst has deteriorated. The threshold value is reduced as the mean value of the air-fuel ratio becomes off from the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
