摘要:
The present specification discloses a control system for an automobile. An automobile control system according to the present invention is provided in an automobile and includes control devices for controlling the automobile in accordance with data on a control characteristic, and a rewritable storage device for storing a plurality of pieces of data on the control characteristics of the control devices and different drivers in corresponding relationship. In response to an input from any particular driver, data on control characteristic corresponding to the particular driver is read from the storage when the particular driver who has input data is the one stored in the storage, and the data is delivered to the control devices. The data on the control characteristic in the storage which the particular driver specifics can be corrected arbitrarily in accordance with a correcting input.

A control apparatus for an automobile is provided with a system manager, which initiates and manages the operation of units for controlling and operating various devices and accessories installed in the automobile. The system manager is coupled with a card unit, in which a card is inserted. Such a card has an identification code ID of a user and a code indicating that the card is registered in advance. The system manager has a list of codes of cards registered. If a card inserted is confirmed to be correct and valid by the ID and the registration code, the system manager executes a predetermined processing operation and produces a set-up instruction signal. Upon receipt of this set-up instruction signal, operations of the control units for the devices and accessories are initiated.

In a fuel control method data used to control the amount of the fuel supply in the previous cycle is corrected in response to the output of an O.sub.2 sensor in a current cycle, and added to or subtracted from the corrected data value as the difference between a value derived from data stored in a map based on the output of a vacuum sensor and engine rotation speed in the previous cycle and a value derived from the data stored in the map based on the output of the vacuum sensor and engine rotation speed in the current cycle. The sum or difference is used as current control data.

A plurality of attachments having springs hold the outer plate of a fuel tank, and an inner jig positions the inner plate. The attachments are attached to clamp arms which are opened/closed by cylinders. When the overlap portion between the outer and inner plates is welded, the thermal deformation caused by welding is accommodated by the springs. The attachments are spaced from the fuel tank in the order in which the welding point is approached.
摘要:
A diagnostic system in which the accuracy of the diagnosis of the deterioration state of a catalyst in a catalytic converter for cleaning the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine is enhanced without incurring a rise in cost. The temperature of the catalyst is estimated using the operating-state signal (for example, the flow rate of intake air or the width of a fuel injection pulse) of the engine by a diagnostic device. The conversion efficiency of the catalyst calculated from the outputs of oxygen sensors is corrected using the estimated temperature by the diagnostic device. The deterioration state of the catalyst is diagnosed on the basis of the corrected temperature by the diagnostic device.
摘要:
A diagnostic equipment for an exhaust gas cleaning apparatus installed for an engine, comprising a misfire detector which detects the misfire of the engine, and a secondary-air-system failure detector which detects the failure of a secondary air system. An index corrector corrects a deterioration index calculated by a deterioration-index calculator, in accordance with the detected result of the detector. A deterioration decision unit decides if the diagnostic equipment has failed, by the use of the corrected deterioration index. In a case where the extent of the misfire or the like is severe, a decision interrupter interrupts the decision of the deterioration decision unit. Thus, even when the misfire of the engine or the failure of the secondary air system has occurred, the detection of the deterioration of a catalyst does not err. It is therefore avoided to erroneously replace the catalyst which has not deteriorated yet, or to run the engine in spite of the deterioration of the catalyst.

A housing in which a heat source for heating a member to be heated is disposable includes a first end and a second end in a longitudinal direction. Each of the first end and the second end is linked to a duct. A blowing unit is provided at the first end of the housing and causes an airflow in a space formed in a state in which the heat source is disposed in the housing. The duct linked to the second end of the housing is formed to extend from the second end. A length of the duct linked to the second end of the housing is longer than a hydraulic diameter by a predetermined number of times or more.

摘要:
A diagnosing system for an engine diagnoses malfunctions that occur in a direct-injection engine in which fuel is injected into combustion chambers or a lean-burn engine. The present invention provides a diagnosing system for an engine capable of diagnosing malfunctions in an intake air flow intensifying component and a fuel supply component and of specifying a malfunctioning part without being affected by the difference between different engines, the difference in quality between parts and aging. The diagnosing system for an engine comprises: a selecting component for selecting either a first air-fuel mixture control component or a second air-fuel mixture control component according to operating condition of an engine; a combustion condition detecting component for detecting combustion condition of the engine; and decision component for deciding a malfunction on the basis of a first combustion condition detected by the combustion condition detecting component in a state where the first air-fuel mixture control component is selected by the selecting component, and a second combustion condition detected by the combustion condition detecting component in a state where the second air-fuel mixture control component is selected by the selecting component.
摘要:
A failure of a detecting circuit such as an ion current detecting circuit for detecting a combustion condition of an engine can be diagnosed at a stage for detecting a combustion condition by a combustion condition detecting apparatus equipped with a malfunction diagnosing apparatus. The engine combustion condition detecting apparatus equipped with the malfunction diagnosing apparatus is arranged by a sensing circuit for sensing an ion current flowing through a combustion chamber, a misfire judging means for judging misfire occurred in the engine in response to the detection signal derived from the sensing circuit, and a malfunction judging means for judging malfunction of the sensing circuit.
