摘要： An air/fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine having an air supply system for controlling the air/fuel ratio of mixture to be supplied to the engine, and an oxygen concentration sensing device for sensing the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine. The oxygen concentration sensing device includes a pair of solid electrolyte members operating as an oxygen pump element to which a pump current is supplied, and a sensor cell element. An open/close valve is provided in the air supply system and controlled by a duty ratio control circuit which causes the open/close valve to be opened for a calculated valve open time period in each of successive predetermined cycles in response to a result of detection of air/fuel ratio. When the calculated valve open time period exceeds a predetermined upper limit, the supply of the pump current is stopped so that the blackening phenomenon of the solid electrolyte members is avoided.

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： An apparatus for sensing the concentration of oxygen in a gas such as engine exhaust gas includes an oxygen concentration sensor formed of an oxygen pump element and a sensor cell element, each based on a solid electrolytic member formed of a material such as ZrO.sub.2, and is provided with a limiter circuit which functions to reduce the level of current supplied to the oxygen pump element when a voltage produced by the sensor cell element indicates that this current level is such as to produce a "blackening" phenomenon whereby deterioration of the oxygen pump element will occur and oxygen concentration sensing reliability will be lowered. The apparatus also includes a delay circuit which functions such that a reduction of the oxygen pump element current level is delayed by a predetermined time interval, after an increase of the sensor cell element voltage to the "blanking" region is detected, thereby preventing fluctuations in the oxygen pump element current level due to transient increases in sensor cell element voltage and increasing the sensing reliability.

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.

摘要： An air intake side secondary air supply system for an internal combustion engine having an air intake side secondary air supply passage and an O.sub.2 sensor controls a duty ratio of opening and closing of an open/close valve disposed in the air intake side secondary air supply passage in accordance with a detected air-fuel ratio of mixture by means of an output signal of the O.sub.2 sensor. The system sets a base valve open period of the open/close valve every predetermined period and decreases the base valve open period by a first predetermined correction amount when the detected air-fuel ratio is leaner than a target air-fuel ratio, and increases the base valve open period by a second predetermined correction amount when the detected air-fuel ratio is richer than the target air-fuel ratio.

摘要： A method for indicating a shift operation for a manual transmission gear includes a step for comparing a detected vehicle speed with a reference speed which is determined and changed on the basis of a detected engine temperature and a step for indicating the shift operation on this basis of a result of the comparison. When a temperature parameter relating to the engine operation is lower than a predetermined reference temperature value, the reference vehicle speed is raised so that the indication of the shift operation will not be generated.
