    摘要: A diagnostic equipment for an exhaust gas cleaning apparatus installed for an engine, comprising a misfire detector which detects the misfire of the engine, and a secondary-air-system failure detector which detects the failure of a secondary air system. An index corrector corrects a deterioration index calculated by a deterioration-index calculator, in accordance with the detected result of the detector. A deterioration decision unit decides if the diagnostic equipment has failed, by the use of the corrected deterioration index. In a case where the extent of the misfire or the like is severe, a decision interrupter interrupts the decision of the deterioration decision unit. Thus, even when the misfire of the engine or the failure of the secondary air system has occurred, the detection of the deterioration of a catalyst does not err. It is therefore avoided to erroneously replace the catalyst which has not deteriorated yet, or to run the engine in spite of the deterioration of the catalyst.

    摘要: A diagnosing system of a catalytic converter in an internal combustion engine has a detecting unit to detect an operating state of the engine and an air/fuel ratio control unit to adjust a fuel injection amount so as to keep an air/fuel ratio of a mixture that is inhaled into the engine to a target value. The operating state of the engine is detected, whereby it is confirmed that the engine lies in a predetermined operating region to execute a catalyst diagnosis on the basis of the detected operating state. In each of a plurality of different catalyst diagnosis regions, the performance of the catalytic converter or the performance of the catalytic converter array is diagnosed on the basis of the output signal of the first exhaust gas component sensor arranged on the upstream side of the catalytic converter array and the output signal of the second exhaust gas component sensor arranged on the downstream side.

    摘要: A system which is capable of diagnosing the deterioration condition of an engine exhaust gas purifying device has front and rear air/fuel ratio sensors for detecting the air/fuel ratio of the exhaust gas upstream and downstream of the catalyst, an autocorrelation function calculation for calculating the autocorrelation function .phi.xx of an output signal from the front air/fuel ratio sensor to output the maximum values (.phi.xx)max of the autocorrelation function .phi.xx at predetermined intervals, each maximum value (.phi.xx)max being in each of the predetermined intervals. A cross-correlation function calculator calculates the cross-correlation function .phi.xy between the output signals from the front and rear air/fuel ratio sensors to output the maximum values (.phi.xy)max of the mutual correlation function .phi.xy at predetermined intervals, each maximum value (.phi.xy)max being in each of the predetermined intervals therefore. The ratios between the maximum values (.phi.xy)max and (.phi.xx)max (successive deterioration index .PHI..sub.i) are calculated to determine the deterioration condition of the catalyst by comparing the ratio with a predetermined reference value.

    摘要: An air-fuel ratio correction coefficient calculating component is provided to an air-fuel ratio controller for an engine having the wide range air-fuel ratio sensor. In order to compensate for a time lag in detection of an air-fuel ratio detected by the wide range air-fuel ratio sensor from the time when a mixed gas of the air-fuel ratio is supplied to the engine, the air-fuel ratio controller includes a component for calculating an air-fuel ratio correction coefficient to control an amount of fuel supplied to the engine based on an output signal of the air-fuel ratio sensor. The air-fuel ratio correction coefficient calculating component calculates the air-fuel ratio correction coefficient based on a nonlinear calculation element. The non-linear calculation element has an ON-OFF characteristic, a neutral zone characteristic, a saturation characteristic or a characteristic combining a plurality of characteristics selected from the above-mentioned characteristics.

    摘要: If the output of an O2 sensor located downstream of a catalyst deviates from a predetermined range, the air-to-fuel ratio upstream of the catalyst is over-corrected to be a leaner value or a richer value beyond the predetermined purification-efficiency range when the output of the O2 sensor downstream of the catalyst indicates rich or lean, respectively, so that the output of the O sensor downstream of the catalyst returns within a predetermined range as soon as possible.

    摘要: In a diagnostic system for an exhaust gas purifying apparatus in an internal combustion engine, such as a diagnostic system suitable for evaluating the exhaust gas purifying performance of a specific component, as an exhaust gas component concentration corresponding to an operating condition of the engine or an operating condition of the catalyst is detected using an exhaust gas component system, and the evaluation and diagnosis of the exhaust gas purifying apparatus are conducted on the basis of the thus-detected value directly or after subjecting it to an integral processing. With such a diagnostic system, it is not necessary to dispose a sensor upstream of the catalyst in the exhaust gas purifying apparatus, for diagnosis of the catalyst, thus permitting the system to be less expensive, highly durable and afford a high diagnostic accuracy according to operating conditions.

    摘要: A diagnostic and control system first checks the current operation status of the vehicle engine, when a malfunction or abnormal condition is detected by diagnostic sensors. A selection of optimum corrective measures is then made and carried out taking into account the safety of the vehicle, based on current operational status of the engine. For this purpose, a set of prioritized corrective measures is determined beforehand for each of the individual monitored items, according to detected changes in the engine operating status. The individual control measures are selected considering the safety of the vehicle, possible measures to correct the malfunction, assuring vehicle operability, and maintaining appropriate engine operating parameters such as exhaust gas mixture, fuel consumption and the like.
