摘要:
In a control system of an internal combustion engine including an intake flow control valve disposed downstream of a throttle valve, a controller controls opening and closing of the intake flow control valve, depending upon an operating state of the internal combustion engine. Upon detection of a failure in the intake flow control valve, the controller controls an intake air amount or flow rate to a different value.

To detect a failure of the fuel heaters of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine of vehicles by utilizing a microcomputer of a vehicle operation control device and sensors already provided in the vehicle such as an air/fuel ratio sensor or a crankshaft rotation sensor, with a supplement of substantially only a software, a failure of the heater corresponding to one of the cylinders is detected based upon a change exhibited in at least one parameter with regard to the operating conditions of the engine such as exhaust air/fuel ratio, crankshaft rotation angular speed, etc. by the injected fuel not having been heated as expected by a predetermined operation of each heater.

A warm-up control apparatus of an internal combustion engine is installed in a vehicle equipped with a brake booster that uses a negative pressure in an intake pipe of the internal combustion engine. The apparatus performs a warm-up control of the engine by retarding the ignition timing and increasing the amount of intake air. If during execution of the warm-up control, the brake pedal is operated, or the accelerator is off while the vehicle is running at or above a predetermined speed, or the decreasing rate of the amount of accelerator operation is greater than or equal to a predetermined value while the vehicle is running at or above a predetermined speed, the control apparatus recovers the intake pipe negative pressure by reducing the amount of intake air set in relation to the warm-up control.

The present invention is intended to provide a technique of improving exhaust emissions at the time of starting up of an internal combustion engine, without decreasing the performance of a catalyst at the time of the engine starting up. The present invention is provided with the catalyst that is arranged in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine in which a plurality of kinds of fuels are able to be used, and serves to adsorb and remove exhaust gas components discharged from the internal combustion engine, wherein in cases where among the plurality of kinds of fuels, a first fuel is used in which unburnt fuel components thereof are easily adsorbed to the catalyst, at the time when a request is made for stopping the internal combustion engine, said first fuel is changed to a second fuel thereby to operate said internal combustion engine until said internal combustion engine is stopped.

In a failure determination system that performs failure determination of an exhaust gas purification apparatus having a NOx selective catalytic reduction catalyst (NOx catalyst) that is disposed in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine and uses ammonia as a reducing agent, the failure determination of the exhaust gas purification apparatus is performed by a failure determination unit, based on a detected value of a NOx sensor that detects NOx in exhaust gas. Then, based on an adsorption amount difference at assumed failure that is the difference between an ammonia equilibrium adsorption amount in the NOx catalyst in an equilibrium state of ammonia adsorption, assuming that the exhaust gas purification apparatus is in a predefined failure state, and an actual ammonia adsorption amount in the NOx catalyst, the failure determination itself by the failure determination unit is inhibited or the use of the NOx sensor in the failure determination is restricted. Accordingly, in the failure determination system of exhaust gas purification apparatus having the NOx selective catalytic reduction catalyst, erroneous determinations at the time of failure determination are suppressed, thereby further improving the accuracy of the failure determination.

An exhaust gas purification catalyst is recovered from the sulfur poisoning more appropriately. For this purpose, an exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine selectively executes first control in which an air-fuel ratio of an exhaust gas allowed to flow into an exhaust gas purification catalyst is set to be not more than a theoretical air-fuel ratio to remove a sulfur component from the exhaust gas purification catalyst; and second control in which the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas allowed to flow into the exhaust gas purification catalyst is set to an air-fuel ratio that is lower than the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas set in the first control to remove the sulfur component from the exhaust gas purification catalyst; wherein the exhaust gas purification apparatus for the internal combustion engine comprises a control unit which executes any one of the first control and the second control on the basis of at least one of purification performance of the exhaust gas purification catalyst, a travel distance of a vehicle that carries the internal combustion engine, and a number of times of removal of the sulfur component from the exhaust gas purification catalyst.

A reduction in the accuracy of a failure determination of a filter due to a reduction in the detection accuracy of a PM sensor is suppressed. In order to achieve this, provision is made for a filter that is arranged in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine for trapping particulate matter contained in an exhaust gas, an NOx selective reduction catalyst that is arranged at the downstream side of the filter and reduces NOx by means of a reducing agent which is supplied thereto, a supply device that supplies the reducing agent to the NOx selective reduction catalyst from the upstream side of the NOx selective reduction catalyst, a PM sensor that detects an amount of the particulate matter in the exhaust gas at the downstream side of the NOx selective reduction catalyst, and a prohibition part that prohibits the use of a detected value of the PM sensor in cases where the reducing agent supplied from said supply device passes through the NOx selective reduction catalyst.

The present invention is intended to detect a failure of a PM filter with a higher degree of accuracy. The present invention is provided with: a PM trapping efficiency calculation part to calculate a PM trapping efficiency (which is a proportion of an amount of particulate matter trapped with respect to an amount of inflow particulate matter) based on an amount of inflow particulate matter obtained by an inflow particulate matter obtaining part, and an amount of outflow particulate matter detected by a PM sensor; and a failure detection part to make a determination that a failure has occurred in the PM filter, in cases where there has appeared a tendency for the PM trapping efficiency to decrease during a period of time until the execution of the following filter regeneration processing is started after the completion of execution of the filter regeneration processing.

摘要:
An object of the invention is to prevent a situation in which failure diagnosis for an exhaust system component in an internal combustion engine cannot be completed from continuing for an unduly long period of time. A warm-up system for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine according to the invention includes a warm-up control performing unit that performs warm-up control for warming up an exhaust system component upon start-up of the internal combustion engine and a failure diagnosis performing unit that performs failure diagnosis for the exhaust system component after the completion of warm-up of the exhaust system component. If a situation in which the operation of the internal combustion engine is stopped after the start of operation of the internal combustion engine before the completion of the failure diagnosis for the exhaust system component performed by the failure diagnosis performing unit has been repeated for a predetermined period of time, the warm-up control performing unit changes the warm-up control performed upon start-up of the internal combustion engine after the predetermined period of time has elapsed to a control that can raise the temperature of the exhaust system component more quickly than the warm-up control performed during the aforementioned predetermined period.
