Air/fuel ratio control system for internal combustion engine

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6268745

An air/fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine is described comprising: an oxygen concentration sensor disposed within an exhaust gas passage of the internal combustion engine, an electric element having an electric characteristic which represents deviations of the actual value of the output signal from a predetermined reference linear output characteristic; means for producing a discrimination signal in response to the electric characteristic of the electric element; means for performing compensation of the output signal of the sensor in accordance with the discrimination signal, to produce a compensated output signal; means for comparing the compensated output signal with a reference signal corresponding to a target air/fuel ratio; and means for adjusting the air/fuel ratio of the mixture supplied to the internal combustion engine, in accordance with a resultant signal produced by the comparing means.
