ABSTRACT:
An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine having a catalytic converter arranged in the exhaust system, and first and second air-fuel ratio sensors arranged upstream and downstream of the catalytic converter respectively has an ECU which calculates an air-fuel ratio correction amount, based at least on an output from the first air-fuel ratio sensor, and detects deterioration of the catalytic converter, based on an output from the second air-fuel ratio sensor when the engine is in a predetermined operating condition. The ECU inhibits detection of deterioration of the catalytic converter when the air-fuel ratio correction amount falls outside a predetermined range.
