ABSTRACT:
The present invention securely prevents the erroneous switching of the combustion mode to the stratified charge combustion, and avoids deterioration of the driving performance. In order to do so, apart from a software determination device inside a main CPU for performing the permission determination on the switching to the stratified charge combustion based on an input signal related to the engine drive condition, a hardware detection circuit (gate array) is equipped for performing the permission determination on the switching to the stratified charge combustion mode based on the input signal related to the engine drive condition. The main CPU is equipped with a combustion mode order device for finally ordering the stratified charge combustion by permitting the switching to the stratified charge combustion only when the two permission determinations both permit the switching to the stratified charge combustion. Further, a sub CPU is mounted which is equipped with a fail-safe device for based on the final permission determination from the main CPU and the permission determination from the hardware determination device, performing a fail-safe process when the two determinations are inconsistent.
