The present invention provides an ohmic heating-type exhaust gas purification catalyst system. The ohmic heating-type exhaust gas purification catalyst system is configured to perform, based on information of temperature of a catalyst bed input from a temperature detector of an ohmic heating-type exhaust gas purification device, electric current pass control including controls of (1) causing an electric current to pass through a pair of electrodes when the temperature of the catalyst bed is equal to or lower than a first threshold temperature T1 set in a range of 350±25° C., (2) not causing an electric current to pass through the pair of electrodes when the temperature of the catalyst bed exceeds the first threshold temperature T1 and is equal to or lower than a second threshold temperature T2 set in a range of 450±25° C., (3) causing an electric current caused to pass through the pair of electrodes when the temperature of the catalyst bed exceeds the second threshold temperature T2 and is equal to or lower than a third threshold temperature T3 set to be equal to or higher than 550° C., and (4) not causing an electric current to pass through the pair of electrodes when the temperature of the catalyst bed exceeds the third threshold temperature T3.
