    摘要: The invention refers to a method of preventing automatic leveling during battery replacement, and a computer-program thereof. The method of preventing automatic leveling during battery replacement, according to invention, operates for an electric vehicle equipped with a first electronic control unit (100) in charge with battery replacement and a second electronic control unit (200) of suspension system, the respective ECUs (100, 200) communicating by means of an internal bus system. The method includes the following steps: (51) Sending an information from the first ECU to the second ECU that the vehicle is prepared to perform a battery replacement; (52) Once said information is received by the second ECU, triggering a leveling forbid flag to the suspension system and deactivating it; (53) Once said deactivation has been performed, setting a feedback signal to inform that battery replacement can commence; (54) during battery replacement, setting said feedback signal to inform that battery replacement is ongoing; (55) Upon completion of battery replacement, informing the second ECU that the battery replacement has been finished successfully, and allowing the activation of suspension.

    摘要: An electric vehicle includes a motor control unit. The motor control unit is configured to repeatedly execute a communication disruption determination for determining whether communication with a main control unit is disrupted; output a communication disruption signal when the motor control unit determines that the communication is disrupted; change a determination procedure of the communication disruption determination such that the communication disruption determination is completed in a shorter time when a crash possibility signal is received prior to the communication disruption determination, than when the crash possibility signal is not received prior to the communication disruption determination; and control a discharge circuit to discharge the electric charge of the smoothing capacitor, when the crash possibility signal is received prior to the communication disruption determination and the communication disruption signal is output.

    摘要: The vehicle is a hybrid vehicle capable of traveling using motive power of at least one of an engine and a motor generator. The vehicle includes: a fuel pump; an injection valve injecting fuel supplied from the fuel pump to the engine; a fuel pressure sensor detecting a supply pressure of the fuel generated by the fuel pump; and an engine ECU.The engine ECU performs a fuel pressure increasing process of increasing the supply pressure of the fuel generated by the fuel pump, and conducts a fault diagnosis of the fuel pressure sensor based on a value detected by the fuel pressure sensor during the fuel pressure increasing process. The engine ECU conducts the fault diagnosis of the fuel pressure sensor in a case where the engine is being stopped and a vehicle speed is higher than a threshold value.

    摘要: Provided is a shutter device having a fail-safe function to prevent occurrence of overheating even when an actuator becomes inoperable. The shutter device includes a shutter valve (11) which opens and closes an air port, a lever (14a) having one end connected to a rotating shaft (16) of the shutter valve and the other end connected to an actuator (12), and biasing means which biases the shutter valve in an opening direction. Opening/closing of the shutter valve is controlled by the actuator rotating the lever when opening of the shutter valve is between the fully-open and predetermined opening, and the shutter valve is closed by wind pressure of travelling wind when the opening of the shutter valve is between the predetermined opening and the fully-closed.
