Patent number: 7558667Abstract: A vehicle including plural gas sensors assembled in plural exhaust systems, detecting an oxygen concentration in an exhaust gas, where an air-fuel ratio feedback control is carried out together with an engine control unit. Each gas sensor detects signal of oxygen concentration corresponding to a group of cylinders. The method for detecting an assembled state of the gas sensor: controls an engine control parameter affecting the air-fuel ratio of the engine, so that the values thereof are different from each other for the plural groups of cylinders corresponding to the plural exhaust systems; monitors an output from the gas sensor under the controlled state, the gas sensor being installed in each of the plural exhaust systems; and judges that the gas sensor is in a wrong assembled state if the output from the gas sensor is an abnormal output corresponding to the value of the engine control parameter.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2007Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Yoshiaki Kida

Patent number: 7493455Abstract: To provide a memory-writing device which can simply and reliably write desired data to a nonvolatile memory of an electronic device, connection is made with an ECU to perform write processing to write write data from the memory-writing device to a flash ROM by copying a write-control program from the external portion to a RAM and executing the write-control program, and by sequentially sending the foregoing write-control program and write data to this ECU together with sending, at a predetermined timing, write-control information required for the ECU to execute the write-control program, the write-control program and the write-control information are stored in a freely attachable and removable first ROM and the write-control information stored in the first ROM is read and sent to the ECU at a memory-rewriting device to cause the write processing to be performed in the ECU. According to this device, an ECU of differing specifications can be supported merely by exchanging the first ROM.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2005Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: DENSO CorporationInventors: Yukari Terada, Yoshihiro Kawase, Yoshiaki Kida, Takashi Ishida

Patent number: 7208329Abstract: In a side plate (52) of a retainer (50), a jig insertion groove (70) is cut at an upper end portion of its front edge. A releasing jig (J) is insertable into a gap between the bottom surface of the jig insertion groove (70) and a vertical front edge of a recessed surface (27) of a female housing (20). If the releasing jig (J) is rotated so as to be pried, the retainer (50) is pushed back diagonally downward along a guide groove (60) and reaches a temporary retaining position.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2004Date of Patent: April 24, 2007Assignees: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukihiro Fukatsu, Toshikazu Sakurai, Satoshi Suda, Yoshiaki Kida, Masaru Shinmura

Patent number: 7001206Abstract: A male housing (70) has a receptacle (71) for receiving a female housing (20). An introducing surface (77) is formed around the inner front edge of the receptacle (71). A retainer (40) for locking female terminal fittings has an interfering portion (49) that interferes with the receptacle (71) when the retainer (40) is at an incomplete mount position IMP. The interfering portion (49) has a guiding surface (50) for guiding the interfering portion (49) into the receptacle (71) when the retainer (40) is a full locking position. The interfering portion (49) has contact surfaces (57) and the inner front edge of the receptacle (71) has receiving surfaces (79) at positions corresponding to the contact surfaces (57) and backward from the introducing surface (77). The receiving surfaces (79) can achieve surface contact with the contact surfaces (57).Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2004Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignees: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshikazu Sakurai, Yukihiro Fukatsu, Satoshi Suda, Yoshiaki Kida, Masaru Shinmura

Patent number: 6799106Abstract: A vehicular electronic control system includes multiple electronic control units (ECUs) to which a tester is connectable for diagnosis. Each ECU stores a vehicle identifying number (VIN) code that is transmitted to the tester for providing various kinds of information on a vehicle. A priority level is assign to each ECU so that the ECUs transmit the VIN code in order of precedence when the ECU having higher priority is unable to transmit the VIN code when another ECU has not transmitted the VIN code. Moreover, each ECU monitors a communication line when received a VIN code transmission request from the tester and detects an output indicative the VIN code sent from another ECU to the tester. When the ECU has detected the output, it terminates the VIN code transmission and do not transmits the VIN code to the tester.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2003Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Toshiyuki Fukushima, Kaname Kura, Masahir Sato, Yoshiaki Kida
