ABSTRACT:
An air-fuel ratio sensor deterioration-detecting device 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 on outputs from the first air-fuel ratio sensors, and detects deterioration of the first air-fuel ratio sensor, based on the output from the first air-fuel ratio sensor. The ECU inhibits detection of deterioration of the first air-fuel ratio sensor when the air-fuel ratio correction amount falls outside a predetermined range.
