Abstract
An engine ECU of a failure diagnosis system for an EGR device fixes a VVT to a most retarded position upon establishment of a failure monitor condition of the EGR device, starts the EGR device, measures an actual intake pipe pressure PMON upon elapse of a predetermined time after start of EGR device, stops the EGR device, measures an actual intake pipe pressure PMOFF upon elapse of a predetermined time after stop of EGR device, and determines that the EGR device is normally operated when a value obtained by subtracting the actual PMOFF in OFF state of the EGR device from the actual PMON in ON state of the EGR device is larger than a predetermined judgment value.
