摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a technology that enables detection of a fault of a PM trapper with improved accuracy. In the present invention, a pressure sensor 20 that measures a differential pressure across a PM trapper 11 is provided, and a fault of a PM trapper is determined based on an amount of change in the differential pressure across the PM trapper 11 between two different operation states of an internal combustion engine 1 in which the ambient temperature around the pressure sensor 20 falls within a specific temperature range. Since variations in the offset error of the differential pressure sensor 20 caused by changes in the ambient temperature around the differential pressure sensor 20 is made small, the amount of change in the differential pressure across the PM trapper 11 can be measured more accurately, and a fault of the PM trapper 11 can be detected with improved accuracy.

A catalyst deterioration diagnosis system performs a diagnosis of deterioration of the oxidation catalyst based on a high-temperature-inflow-condition exhaust gas temperature and a low-temperature-inflow-condition exhaust gas temperature. The high-temperature-inflow-condition exhaust gas temperature is a temperature detected by a temperature sensor while the temperature of the exhaust gas that flows into the oxidation catalyst is in a high temperature region H while the reducing agent is supplied from the reducing agent supply means into the exhaust gas that flows into the oxidation catalyst. The low-temperature-inflow-condition exhaust gas temperature is a temperature detected by the temperature sensor while the temperature of the exhaust gas that flows into the oxidation catalyst is in a low temperature region L while the reducing agent is supplied from a reducing agent supply means into the exhaust gas that flows into the oxidation catalyst.

An inter-cylinder air-fuel ratio imbalance determination apparatus that obtains, based on an output value Vabyfs of an air-fuel ratio sensor, an air-fuel ratio fluctuation indicating amount (AFD) which becomes larger as an air-fuel ratio fluctuation of an exhaust gas passing through a position at which the air-fuel ratio sensor is disposed becomes larger, during a parameter obtaining period. The determination apparatus estimates an air-fuel ratio sensor element temperature (Temps) having a strong relation with responsiveness of the air-fuel ratio sensor during the parameter obtaining period, and obtains a corrected air-fuel ratio fluctuation indicating amount by correcting the AFD based on the estimated Temps. The determination apparatus adopts the corrected air-fuel ratio fluctuation indicating amount as the imbalance determination parameter X, and determines whether or not an inter-cylinder air-fuel-ratio imbalance state has been occurring based on a comparison between the imbalance determination parameter X and the imbalance determination threshold Xth.

The invention intends to provide a technology which makes it possible to diagnose with higher accuracy whether or not abnormality occurs in a filter regeneration system causing excessive execution frequency of a regeneration process. The filter regeneration system initiates execution of the regeneration process, incase an estimated particulate matter (PM) accumulation amount at the filter reaches a pre-determined regeneration requiring accumulation amount; or in case the pressure upstream of the filter or the differential pressure across the filter reaches a pre-determined regeneration requiring value, the value being larger than the pressure or the differential pressure corresponding to the regeneration requiring accumulation amount. Then, the diagnosis is carried out based on a ratio of an estimated PM accumulation amount at the initiation of the execution of the regeneration process to the regeneration requiring accumulation amount.
