ABSTRACT:
An exhaust gas cleaning system has two catalysts and three sensors. The target voltage of a second sensor arranged upstream of a downstream catalyst is set according to the output voltage of the second sensor and the output voltage of a third sensor. Thus, even if the output voltage of the second sensor shows a stoichiometric condition and the output voltage of the third sensor shows a rich condition, it is possible to restrict the unnecessary correction of the target voltage and to optimize the cleaning rate of the downstream catalyst. Therefore, it is possible to reduce emission from being impaired by an expected variation in the air-fuel ratio.
