Abstract

Energization abnormality of a switch element of an internal combustion engine ignition device is detected appropriately. To this end, in an internal combustion engine ignition device that includes an ignition coil and an ignition plug, the ignition coil includes a primary coil including a main primary coil and a sub primary coil and a secondary coil that generates secondary current in response to a voltage variation generated in the primary coil. The internal combustion engine ignition device includes a main switch element that performs energization/deenergization of the main primary coil in a first direction, a sub primary coil magnetic flux generation state switching unit capable of switching between a forward direction magnetic flux generation state in which energization of the sub primary coil in the first direction is performed and an opposite direction magnetic flux generation state in which energization of the sub primary coil in a second direction is performed, and an abnormality detection section that detects energization abnormality to the sub primary coil. The abnormality detection section is configured so as to detect energization abnormality on the basis of overlap between energization in the first direction and energization in the second direction of the sub primary coil.
