Malfunction of a purge air control system is checked based on a variation of a fuel tank inner pressure or an air-fuel ratio in response to forced introduction of purge air into an engine. During a mode of checking malfunction of the purge air control system, failure/malfunction checks on other exhaust gas control components/systems, such an ignition system, an O.sub.2 sensor and a fuel supply system, are prohibited.
