The internal combustion engine includes a fuel injection valve, a cylinder into which the fuel injected by the fuel injection valve is introduced, an exhaust passage through which the exhaust generated by the combustion of the fuel in the cylinder flows, a catalyst installed in the exhaust passage, an upstream air-fuel ratio sensor disposed upstream of the catalyst in the exhaust passage, and a downstream air-fuel ratio sensor disposed downstream of the catalyst in the exhaust passage. The processing circuit calculates a detection value difference which is a difference between detection values of the two air-fuel ratio sensors when the warm-up of the catalyst is completed. When the detection value difference is in the predetermined detection value difference range, the processing circuit lowers the warm-up completion temperature as compared with a case where the detection value difference is not in the detection value difference range.

The slider includes a sloped guide surface that is angled at in front of the wide portion to spread further than the wide portion toward the front.

Terminal

A connector described herein includes a circuit board housing, circuit board terminals, an electric cable housing, electric wire terminals, and a holder. The circuit board housing is fixed to a circuit board. The circuit board terminals are held by the circuit board housing. The electric cable housing is coupled to an end of the electric cable. The electric wire terminals are held by the electric cable housing. The holder maintains electrical connection between the circuit board terminals and the electric wire terminals. The holder is fixed to the circuit board housing and the electric cable housing. The holder has a strength less than a strength of the circuit board housing and a strength of the electric cable housing.

Board-to-cable connector

A terminal to be coupled to a front end portion of an electric wire. The terminal includes a terminal body and a slider. The terminal body includes a holding section holding a core wire of the electric wire. The slider is movable in a front-rear direction between a first position and a second position that is on a front side with respect to the first position while the slider being fitted on a section of the terminal body including the holding section. The slider includes a pressing portion that presses the holding section toward the electric wire when the slider is at the second position. The slider includes a pressure receiving portion that is pushed from a rear side to move the slider from the first position to the second position. The slider includes a support portion that receives a force applied to the pressure receiving portion that is pushed.

A terminal includes a terminal body and a slider. The terminal body is formed by processing a metal sheet. The terminal body is coupled to a front end of an electric wire with respect to an extending direction in which the electric wire extends. The terminal body holds the electric wire. The slider is slidable in the extending direction relative to the terminal body. The terminal body includes connecting tabs that includes contact surfaces contactable with the electric wire. Each of the connecting tabs has a cantilever shape. The slider includes pressing portions that press the connecting tabs so that the connecting tabs deform and the contact surfaces contact the electric wire when the slider is slid. The connecting tabs include burrs that are produced during processing of the metal sheet. The burrs protrude from the contact surfaces toward the electric wire.
