<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for calculating the temperature of a glow plug in an internal combustion engine, calculating a temperature difference between the temperature of the glow plug at a position outside a heater and the temperature in a heater of the glow plug. <P>SOLUTION: The temperature difference is calculated depending on a time function, and the temperature of the glow plug is calculated from a temperature difference influenced by the time function and a temperature value indicating a measured value. The temperature difference is calculated during the dynamic operation of the internal combustion engine, that is, it is calculated in the situation where the operational condition of the internal combustion engine varies. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
