Device for controlling a vehicle charging system

摘要

A vehicle charging control system includes a charging control microcomputer for performing arithmetic operations upon input engine or charging system parameters to derive the most proper operating voltage for the charging system. The voltage regulator includes a comparator which receives its reference voltage from the charging control microcomputer. An engine control microcomputer which controls, for example, the air/fuel ratio also outputs data to the charging control microcomputer for use thereby in controlling the reference voltage. The charging control microcomputer may perform diagnostics on the charging system and output the results thereof to a suitable indicator.
