Abstract
In a double air-fuel ratio sensor system including two air-fuel ratio sensors disposed on the upstream and the downstream of the catalyst which is installed in the exhaust passage of the engine and has oxygen storage effect, an air-fuel ratio correction amount is calculated in accordance with the output of the upstream O.sub.2 sensor, and the actual air-fuel ratio is adjusted in accordance with the calculated air-fuel ratio correction amount. Further, the determination of the deterioration of the catalyst is carried out in accordance with the output of the second O.sub.2 sensor when the air-fuel ratio of the engine is adjusted.
