Abstract
An electronic control unit for controlling a vehicle equipped with an internal combustion engine in which two catalytic devices, namely an upstream catalytic device and a downstream catalytic device, are installed in an exhaust passage includes a processing circuit. The processing circuit performs a process of easing an execution condition for a fuel cut of the internal combustion engine when a condition for desorbing sulfur accumulated on the upstream catalytic device is satisfied and the downstream catalytic device is inactive.
Claims5
A control device for a vehicle equipped with an internal combustion engine including an upstream catalytic device installed in an exhaust passage and a downstream catalytic device installed in the exhaust passage at a position downstream of the upstream catalytic device, the control device comprising a processing circuit,
- wherein the processing circuit is configured to perform a process of changing content of control on the vehicle so as to promote execution of a fuel cut of the internal combustion engine when a condition for desorbing sulfur accumulated on the upstream catalytic device is satisfied and the downstream catalytic device is inactive.
