ABSTRACT:
A diagnosis device calculates a lean-direction responsiveness characteristic and a rich-direction responsiveness characteristic of the exhaust gas sensor. The lean-direction responsiveness represents a responsiveness of the sensor in a case that an air-fuel ratio is controlled in such a manner as to be varied in a lean direction. The rich-direction responsiveness represents a responsiveness of the sensor in a case that the air-fuel ratio is controlled in such a manner as to be varied in a rich direction. The diagnosis device determines whether the exhaust gas sensor deteriorates based on at least one of the lean-direction responsiveness characteristic and the rich-direction responsiveness characteristic, and on a comparison result between the lean-direction responsiveness characteristic and the rich-direction responsiveness characteristic.
