Abstract
An internal combustion engine control device that can ensure diagnosis of whether a fuel injection cut function normally works and that further permits startup of an internal combustion engine in a case in which the fuel injection cut function normally works is provided. To attain the internal combustion engine control system, the startup of the internal combustion engine is prohibited when carrying of a diagnostic monitoring current based on a diagnostic drive signal related to each of fuel injection valves to each of fuel injection valves in a case of transmitting a drive prohibition signal related to each of fuel injection valves to a fuel injection valve drive circuit before the startup of the internal combustion engine and transmitting the diagnostic drive signal related to each of fuel injection valves to the fuel injection valve drive circuit. By transmitting the diagnostic drive signal related to each of the fuel injection valves to the fuel injection valve drive circuit and monitoring whether the diagnostic monitoring current based on the diagnostic drive signal is carried to each of fuel injection valves, it is possible to ensure diagnosis of whether the fuel injection cut function normally works.
