Abstract
An abnormality diagnosis apparatus applied to an internal combustion engine, including a supercharger, a communication path, an opening/closing valve, and a downstream intake air temperature sensor and not having a cooling device on the upstream side of the downstream intake air temperature sensor and conducting abnormality diagnosis of the downstream intake air temperature sensor diagnoses that the downstream intake air temperature sensor is abnormal if an operation state of the internal combustion engine is a low load and a low rotation region and a detected value of the downstream intake air temperature sensor is at a predetermined high temperature or more and prohibits the subsequent abnormality diagnosis if the operation state of the internal combustion engine becomes a higher load or a higher rotation than the low load and low rotation region.
