Title:
ENGINE CONTROLLER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/152509
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Degradation in exhaust is indicated when the air-fuel ratio between air cylinders fluctuates, but the rate of exhaust degradation and the magnitude of the degree of fluctuation in the air-fuel ratio between air cylinders detected by a catalytic upstream sensor are not always in agreement. An engine controller is provided which detects exhaust degradation caused by fluctuation in the air-fuel ratio between air cylinders. Means for calculating a specified frequency component (A) of a catalytic upstream sensor signal and means for calculating a specified frequency component (B) of the catalytic downstream sensor signal detect exhaust degradation caused by fluctuation in the air-fuel ratio between air cylinders in an engine, in accordance with the frequency component (A) and the frequency component (B).
