Abstract: A controller for controlling an internal combustion engine includes a valve timing adjuster, a variable valve lift mechanism and a processor. The processor controls a duty cycle of a drive signal in a selected one of control modes, thereby changing a relative rotational phase of a camshaft relative to an engine output shaft. The control modes include a specific control mode in which the duty cycle of the drive signal is adjusted to change a value of the current through a first motor. The processor performs, when changing the relative rotational phase through execution of the specific control mode, an abnormality diagnosis for the variable valve lift mechanism based on a comparison between the current value at the first motor and a reference current value. The processor sets the reference current value in accordance with a rotation angle of the output shaft of a second motor.

Abstract: A cam of a variable valve device is provided with a change region, which is a region with which a roller abuts when a control shaft is displaced in an axial direction to change a maximum lift amount and in which a cam surface is inclined such that a diameter of the cam gradually increases toward one side in a rotation direction. The cam is provided with a retainer region with which the roller abuts when a position of the control shaft in the axial direction is retained to retain the maximum lift amount. An inclination angle of the cam surface in the retainer region is smaller as the maximum lift amount when the action member abuts with the retainer region is larger.

Abstract: In a vehicle provided with a power propulsion system of the mild-hybrid type, a BAS unit—including an electric machine connected through a belt transmission to the shaft of an internal combustion engine—is exploited as the only propulsion engine of the vehicle in given operating conditions. The internal combustion engine is provided with a system for variable actuation of the intake valves which is controlled to reduce the pumping losses of the internal combustion engine in the phase in which such engine is in cut-off condition and it is driven by the aforementioned BAS unit. It is also provided for that the system for variable actuation of the intake valves be controlled to temporarily increase the pumping losses of the internal combustion engine in a phase in which it is required to accelerate the switching off of the engine.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle control apparatus which can execute a start-up control for improving acceleration performance at the time of starting an internal combustion engine during the running of a hybrid vehicle. When a hybrid ECU determines that a predetermined time has not yet elapsed after termination of the start-up control of the engine, and that the hybrid vehicle is in a high speed, high load condition, but not in a warming-up state, the hybrid ECU sets a value Nupest2 larger than a value Nupest1, that is usually set as a maximum value Krmx of a rise rate of an engine rotational speed.
