Abstract

See full text

A diagnosis of deterioration and/or normality of an exhaust gas purifying catalyst is made by comparing a ratio of reversal frequencies of outputs from oxygen sensors disposed on opposite sides of the exhaust gas purifying catalyst with a threshold ratio. Discrimination is performed on both normality and deterioration in a standard gas quantity zone, on only normality in a large gas quantity zone, and on only deterioration in a small gas quantity zone, and nothing is made in an extra large gas quantity zone.
