A NOx reducing catalyst can most efficiently remove both NOx and HC when concentrations of NOx and HC in exhaust have a specified relationship between them. For this purpose, an apparatus is adapted to control the concentrations of NOx and HC at an upstream of a catalyst to have a specified relationship. Sensors for detecting the concentration of NOx and HC are arranged at an upstream side of the catalyst. Additionally, a device for levelling a quantity of HC discharge is disposed to suppress variation thereof.

A vehicle control apparatus and method therefor has a number of controllers (50, 63, 56) interconnected with one another by a data highway (10), the engine controllers being formed for example by a CPU. The engine controllers are each connected to a sensor for sensing a vehicle parameter and the controllers are also connected to a respective actuator (53, 58) for varying the associated vehicle parameter. The apparatus is arranged so that the controllers operate in cooperation with one another so that two or more controllers cooperate to control the same object or purpose. As an example (shown in FIG. 20) an engine controller (50) provides torque data to a transmission controller (63) which in turn provides data to a throttle controller (56), whereby a gear shift is effected by the transmission controller (63) in synchronism with the throttle controller (56) changing the position of a throttle actuator so that a jerk-free gear shift is effected. In another embodiment (shown in FIG. 33) an engine controller (50) cooperates with a throttle controller (56) and a suspension controller (64) whereby data from the engine controller determining whether the vehicle is accelerating or braking is transmitted to the throttle controller (56) and the suspension controller (64) and the throttle position is adjusted in synchronism with the suspension controller (64) for adjusting the front-back ride height of the vehicle. Thus, for example, when the vehicle is braking, the throttle controller closes the throttle and the suspension controller increases the ride height of the front dampers and reduces the ride height of the rear dampers. Other embodiments control ignition timing and fuel injection in cooperation with gear shift (FIG. 37), control fuel injection pulse width and ignition timing in cooperation with a knock detector controller (FIG. 49), and upon detection of abnormal data received from sensors display a warning of the abnormality, and in the event of seriously abnormal data being detected transmits a pseudo signal to ensure that the vehicle keeps running.

A control unit for vehicle is provided where an increase in a number of input/output and upgrading functions can easily be performed and, in addition to this, changing of a program in a control unit can easily be performed even when a single-chip micro-computer is used. A control unit is constructed such as to comprise an interface software memory storing an interface software program for connecting an application software program with an operating system in an internal ROM, a CPU for performing computation of the application software program and the interface software program, a RAM storing data such as the result of the computation, an I/O unit for extending the control unit, and an extending device for communicating memory data through a bus or a LAN. A single-chip micro-computer used in vehicle control can easily cope with an increase in the input/output ports or additional functions, and an application software program can continuously be used only by rewriting an interface software program. Further, re-manufacturing of a core unit is unnecessary. Therefore, development of a control unit including programs becomes easy.
