摘要： A method for directing an up shift operation for a vehicle having an engine and a manual transmission generates a direction of an up-shift operation when the vehicle speed exceeds a reference speed determined for each gear position. The reference speed of a medium speed gear is varied according to the degree of acceleration at the time of the previous up-shift operation. If the up-shift operation from a low speed gear to the medium speed gear is effected while the vehicle is not accelerating rapidly, the reference speed for an up shift operation from the medium speed gear is lowered. Further, if a cruising state of the vehicle with the medium speed gear after the acceleration is continued for more than a predetermined time period, the reference speed for an up-shift operation from the medium speed gear is also lowered.

摘要： An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine mounted on a vehicle with a transmission, including an oxygen concentration sensor producing an output signal whose level is substantially proportional to an oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas, effects a feedback control of the air-fuel ratio of mixture to be supplied to the engine toward a target value determined on the basis of various parameters of the engine operation and corrected in response to a magnitude of atmospheric pressure, so that the higher a shift position of the transmission gear is, the leaner the target air-fuel ratio becomes. Thus, the fuel consumption in a light load operating condition of the engine is decreased and the driveability of the vehicle is improved.

The passage includes an oxygen concentration sensor producing an output signal whose level is substantially proportional to an oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas. A control means for controlling a flow control valve is disposed in the air intake side secondary air supply passage and operates in accordance to the output signal of the oxygen concentration sensor.

摘要： Method for controlling an oxygen concentration sensor for sensing an oxygen concentration in an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, which sensor includes an oxygen pump element and a heater element, comprises steps for controlling a pump current and a heat current control in response to a result of a detection of engine load. When the engine is operating in a predetermined high load range, the supply of the pump current to the oxygen pump element is stopped, and the heat current to the heater element is reduced when the engine operation in the high load range has continued for more than a predetermined time period. The heater current to the heater element is stopped when the engine load is in a first predetermined load range, and when the engine operation in a second load range which is lighter than the first load range has continued for a predetermined time period.

摘要： An oxygen concentration sensing device and an air/fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine which include a pair of solid electrolyte members having oxygen ion permeability which are arranged to face each other to form a restricted region between them. One of the solid electrolyte members is operative as an oxygen pump element when a pump current is supplied across the electrodes thereof. The sensing device is provided with a current supply part including a limit command circuit which generates a current stop command signal when the magnitude of the pump current exceeds a reference limit level. With the current stop command signal, the supply of the pump current is stopped so as to prevent an overcurrent to the oxygen pump element. The air/fuel ratio control system includes an air/fuel ratio detection part and an air/fuel ratio control part operated by an air/fuel ratio detection signal. The detection of the air/fuel ratio and the supply of the pump current are stopped under a predetermined operating condition of the engine.

摘要： A method of controlling an oxygen concentration sensor of the type having oxygen pump and sensor cell elements spaced from each other to form a gap or a restricted region both of which are to be placed in some gases containing an oxygen component, and a heater element for heating said oxygen pump and sensor cell elements under energization of a heater current supplied thereto.A pump current is supplied to the oxygen pump element as long as the heater current is supplied to the heater element. However, the initiation of the supply of the pump current is somewhat delayed at the initial stage of the supply of the heater current in order to avoid incorrect operation due to the unstable cool state of the sensor, and to present possible flow of excessive pump current through the pump element which would cause deterioration of the oxygen pump element.

摘要： An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine, including an oxygen concentration sensor producing an output signal whose level is substantially proportional to an oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas, effects a feedback control of the air-fuel ratio of mixture to be supplied to the engine toward a target value determined on the basis of various parameters of the engine operation and corrected in response to a magnitude of atmospheric pressure, so that the target air-fuel ratio is made lean as the magnitude of the atmospheric pressure decreases. Thus, the reduction of the engine output power and the increase of the fuel comsumption which have been encountered in conventional systems are prevented.
