    摘要: In a heater control of an oxygen sensor, a heater control circuit is rendered fully conductive at 100% duty initially to supply full power to a heater until the resistance value of the heater reaches a predetermined initial value corresponding to a predetermined temperature. Then, the duty of the heater control circuit is feedback controlled so that the heater temperature becomes a target value until the internal resistance of the oxygen sensor reaches a target temperature, and further, after the internal resistance of the oxygen sensor S reaches the target temperature, the duty of the heater control circuit is feedback controlled so that the element temperature of the sensor becomes a target value.

    摘要: A sensor element of an A/F sensor is constructed to laminate and integrate a solid electrolyte and a heater. The A/F sensor outputs a linear A/F detection signal proportional to the oxygen concentration in exhaust gases, when voltage is applied. An ECU controls the heater through heater control circuit to keep the sensor element at a predetermined activation temperature. The ECU detects an element resistance on the basis of the voltage applied to the sensor element and sensor current caused by the applied voltage, and converts the element resistance to an element temperature. During the temperature increasing of the A/F sensor, the current supply to the heater is duty-controlled according to the element temperature changing rate (the temperature increasing rate of the sensor element). Accordingly, the temperature increasing characteristics of the sensor is satisfactorily maintained, and disadvantages such as an element cracking are prevented.

    摘要: An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine includes two air-fuel ratio sensors, one upstream of a catalytic converter and the other downstream of the catalytic converter. When an output of the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor has been inverted between rich and lean, a target air-fuel ratio is corrected by a skip amount in a direction opposite to that of the inversion. On the other hand, at no inversion, the target air-fuel ratio is corrected by an integral amount in a direction opposite to deviation of the output of the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor. A fuel injection amount is derived based on a differential between the target air-fuel ratio and an output of the upstream air-fuel ratio sensor. An engine operating condition, the output of the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor or a deterioration degree of the catalytic converter may be used to change the skip amount and the integral amount.

    摘要: An engine temperature is measured an opening of a door is detected so an electrical conduction is made to a heater for heating a sensor element by setting a target element temperature to a relatively high level if such engine temperature (cooling water temperature Thw) is relatively low or, on the other hand, by setting the target element temperature to a relatively low level if the cooling water temperature is relatively high. Then the element temperature is detected and the heater is turned off when the element temperature has reached the target temperature.

    摘要: In an air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine, a target air-fuel ratio is set on a side opposite to a direction of deviation of a monitored upstream side air-fuel ratio in such a manner as to counterbalance or offset the deviation of the upstream side air-fuel ratio. The deviation of the upstream side air-fuel ratio may be derived in the form of an mount of a particular component adsorbed in a catalytic converter. A learned value may be used to correct the monitored upstream side air-fuel ratio. Further, a monitored downstream side air-fuel ratio may be used to monitor the setting of the target air-fuel ratio.

    摘要: In an apparatus for detecting a saturation gas amount absorbed by a catalytic converter disposed in an exhaust system of an engine, an air-to-fuel ratio detecting device is disposed in a region of the engine exhaust system downstream of the catalytic converter for monitoring exhaust gas, which has passed through the catalytic converter, to detect an air-to-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture causing the exhaust gas. An air-to-fuel ratio changing device serves to change an air-to-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture fed to the engine by a correction quantity in a given direction, and serves to maintain changing the air-to-fuel ratio during a correction time. A change increasing device serves to increase the correction quantity and/or the correction time by the air-to-fuel ratio changing device to execute an air-to-fuel ratio changing process again in cases where the air-to-fuel ratio detected by the air-to-fuel ratio detecting device does not vary even when the air-to-fuel ratio changing device executes changing the air-to-fuel ratio. A saturation gas amount calculating device serves to calculate a saturation gas amount absorbed by the catalytic converter on the basis of the correction quantity and the correction time in cases where the air-to-fuel ratio detected by the air-to-fuel ratio detecting device varies when the air-to-fuel ratio changing device executes changing the air-to-fuel ratio.

    摘要: An ignition timing control system for an internal combustion engine which can perform fast catalyst warm-up operation and prevent stalling at the restart of the internal combustion engine at a low temperature is disclosed. This control system judges whether the engine is in the start state or not, whether the cooling water temperature is lower than the specified temperature or not, and whether the intake air temperature is higher than the preset temperature or not. When these judgments are all affirmative, the system further judges whether the time after the start has reached the control starting time or not, and then whether the engine is in the idle operation state or not. When these judgments are both affirmative, the system sets the target ignition timing retard amount and the ignition timing gradual change time according to the intake air temperature, and then actually performs the ignition timing control according to the target retard amount and gradual retard time. Alternatively, the control system judges deterioration state of a catalyst and controls the ignition timing in dependence on the catalyst deterioration state and the intake air temperature.

    摘要: An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine includes a pair of cylinder banks, a pair of exhaust passages connected to the cylinder banks, respectively, a common exhaust pipe where the exhaust passages join each other at their downstream ends, a pair of catalytic converters provided in the exhaust passages, respectively, a pair of main air-fuel ratio sensors provided in the exhaust passages upstream of the catalytic converters, respectively, a pair of auxiliary air-fuel ratio sensors provided in the exhaust passages downstream of the catalytic converters, respectively, and a catalytic converter provided in the common exhaust pipe. The system derives an air-fuel ratio feedback control correction value for each of the cylinder banks based on outputs of the auxiliary air-fuel ratio sensors. The system derives the air-fuel ratio feedback control correction values in such a manner as to control the outputs of the auxiliary air-fuel ratio sensors to be in antiphase with each other when the outputs of the auxiliary air-fuel ratio sensors are in phase with each other. This arrangement ensures effective purification of exhaust gases at the catalytic converter provided in the common exhaust pipe.
