ABSTRACT:
An altitude determining apparatus for an automotive vehicle includes a calculating part for determining a reference flow rate based on a throttle angle of a throttle valve and an engine speed of an internal combustion engine of the vehicle, the throttle angle being sensed from the throttle valve arranged in an intake passage of the engine and the engine speed being sensed from the engine, a correction part for detecting an operating condition under which additive gas is supplied to the intake passage downstream of the throttle valve and for changing the reference flow rate determined by the calculating part to a second reference flow rate according to the operating condition only when the above mentioned operating condition is detected, and a discriminating part for comparing an intake air flow rate sensed at an inlet portion of the intake passage with a reference flow rate supplied from the correction part and for determining an altitude condition of the vehicle based on the result of the comparison.
