Abstract
A catalyst abnormality diagnostic device is configured to diagnose an abnormality of a first purification catalyst having an oxygen storage capacity and a second purification catalyst having the oxygen storage capacity and a function of a particulate filter provided on an exhaust passage on a downstream side of the first purification catalyst. The catalyst abnormality diagnostic device adjusts a fuel injection amount so that an air-fuel ratio of an exhaust gas is repeatedly in a rich state and a lean state, obtains a first determination value indicating a catalytic performance of the first purification catalyst, obtains a second determination value indicating a catalytic performance of the second purification catalyst, and determines whether there is an abnormality in one or both of the first purification catalyst and the second purification catalyst on the basis of the first determination value, the second determination value, and a predetermined determination reference value.
