Abstract
An exhaust gas control system for an internal combustion engine includes a turbocharger that includes a compressor arranged in an intake passage, and a turbine arranged in an exhaust passage; a low-pressure EGR unit that recirculates a portion of exhaust gas back to the internal combustion engine through a low-pressure EGR passage that provides communication between the exhaust passage, at a portion downstream of the turbine, and the intake passage, at a portion upstream of the compressor; a low-pressure EGR valve that is provided in the low-pressure EGR passage, and that changes the flow passage area of the low-pressure EGR passage; and a valve control unit that executes an opening/closing control over the low-pressure EGR valve. When it is determined that the internal combustion engine is under a predetermined low-temperature environment, the low-pressure EGR valve is kept closed while the internal combustion engine is in the fuel-supply cutoff operation mode.
