Abstract
A control device of an internal combustion engine is configured to perform a fuel cut-off control and an abnormality diagnosis control. A heating device for heating an element of an air-fuel ratio sensor is controlled by making an element temperature of the air-fuel ratio sensor become a target element temperature. The target element temperature of the air-fuel ratio sensor during a high temperature control period from a time when a prescribed high temperature control begins after a start of the internal combustion engine to a time when the prescribed high temperature control is completed after completion of the abnormality diagnosis control of the air-fuel ratio sensor is set to be higher than the target element temperature outside the high temperature control period.
