Patent ID: 11319889

Abstract:
The abnormality diagnosis system 1 of a downstream side air-fuel ratio detection device 41, 42, comprises an air-fuel ratio control part 71 controlling an air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture, an abnormality judgment part 72 judging abnormality of the downstream side air-fuel ratio detection device based on a characteristic of change of output of the downstream side air-fuel ratio detection device when the air-fuel ratio control part makes the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture change, and an oxygen change calculation part 73 calculating an amount of change of an oxygen storage amount of the catalyst when the air-fuel ratio control part makes the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture change. The abnormality judgment part does not judge abnormality of the downstream side air-fuel ratio detection device when the amount of change of the oxygen storage amount is less than a lower limit threshold value.
