Abstract:
A control device is configured, if, although the control device has caused a cam switching device to perform a first cam switching operation for switching the profiles of all the valve-driving cams of a plurality of cylinders from a first profile to a second profile, the profiles of all the valve-driving cams of the plurality of cylinders do not coincide with the second profile, to cause the cam switching device to perform a second cam switching operation for switching the profile of the valve-driving cam for at least one or more normal cylinders that are one or more cylinders at which the switching of profiles to the second profile has succeeded.

Claim (Index 1):
A control device for an internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine including:\n a plurality of cylinders; a plurality of cams which are arranged for each of the plurality of cylinders, and profiles of which are different from each other; and a cam switching device configured to switch, between the profiles of the plurality of cams, a profile of a valve-driving cam that is a cam that drives a valve that opens and closes a combustion chamber in each of the plurality of cylinders on a cylinder basis or a cylinder group basis, wherein, if, although the control device has caused the cam switching device to perform a first cam switching operation for switching the profile of the valve-driving cam of each of the plurality of cylinders from a first profile to a second profile, the profiles of all the valve-driving cams of the plurality of cylinders do not coincide with the second profile, the control device is configured to cause the cam switching device to perform a second cam switching operation for switching the profile of the valve-driving cam for at least one or more normal cylinders that are one or more cylinders at which the switching of the profiles to the second profile has succeeded.
