PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device and a control method for an engine that can accurately detect stack abnormality of a sensor.SOLUTION: There is provided an engine control device which controls an engine and includes a stack detection part, a count processing part, a stack value storage control part, and an abnormality determination part. The abnormality determination part determines that a sensor is in a stack abnormal state when a count value obtained by the count processing part becomes equal to or larger than an abnormality determination threshold. When a maximum value of a detection value of the sensor detected in a determination period is less than a value stored in the stack value storage part and when the stack detection part does not detect a stack state in the determination period, the count processing part neither makes a counter count up nor resets the counter.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly and correctly perform deterioration determination of a storage reduction type NOx catalyst.SOLUTION: This catalyst deterioration determination system includes a determination device. The determination device performs first reduction agent supply in which reduction agent is supplied from a supply device while a control device controls an amount of reduction agent to make an air-fuel ratio of exhaust be a rich air-fuel ratio, and then performs second reduction agent supply in which the reduction agent is supplied from the supply device while the control device controls the amount of reduction agent to make the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust be the rich air-fuel ratio. When a detection value of an NHdetection device in the second reduction agent supply is less than a threshold value, the determination device determines that the NOx catalyst is deteriorated. When the detection value is the threshold value or more, the determination device determines that the NOx catalyst is normal.

It is determined that the failure occurs in the PM sensor when the calculated PM collection rate sticks to 100%.

SOLUTION: This exhaust emission control system for an internal combustion engine includes: the particulate filter arranged in the exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine; and a PM sensor arranged downstream of the particulate filter in the exhaust passage. When a detection value of the PM sensor, after supplying the fuel, satisfies failure conditions of the particulate filter, a change in the property of the fuel is detected based on a detection value of the PM sensor when the first PM regenerating processing after supplying the fuel is completed and a detection value of the PM sensor when the PM regenerating processing before supplying the fuel is completed, and a diagnosis whether the particulate filter is failed or not is done in response to a result of the detection.
