Abstract

A learning time counter is started and updated if an operation state is stabilized after shifting to a certain operation range. Then, convergence of a FCCB correction value of a variation in an injection characteristic is determined. If the FCCB correction value is determined to have converged, a permit flag is turned on and the FCCB correction value is decided as a learning value. Even if the FCCB correction value does not converge, the learning value is compulsorily decided when the learning time counter reaches a threshold. If the FCCB correction value is decided early, a surplus time is added to a threshold of the next operation range. Thus, the variation of the injection characteristics among cylinders can be learned highly accurately while averting unnecessary lengthening of a learning time.
