Abstract
An apparatus for and a method of diagnosing an EGR system are disclosed. A temperature within an EGR passage and a rise in temperature within the EGR passage are detected or determined by calculation. When the temperature and the temperature rise are lower than predetermined values, respectively, when the engine running condition falls in a predetermined range (a diagnosis area), it is determined that the EGR system is in trouble.
