Abstract:
A control device for an internal combustion engine includes an electronic control unit configured to perform dither control processing for controlling the fuel injection valve based on a requested injection amount such that a part of cylinders among a plurality of cylinders becomes a lean combustion cylinder and cylinders different from the part of cylinders among the cylinders become a rich combustion cylinder, and restriction processing for, in a case where the requested injection amount is equal to or greater than a first injection amount, making no restriction on the dither control processing, and in a case where the requested injection amount is within a second injection amount range of an injection amount smaller than the first injection amount, restricting the dither control processing to a side where a leaning degree of an air-fuel ratio of a cylinder having a leanest air-fuel ratio among the cylinders decreases.

Claim (Index 2):
The control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the electronic control unit is configured to perform, as the restriction processing, prohibition processing for prohibiting the dither control processing.
