Abstract
An abnormality diagnosis device introduces a pressure into a reference-pressure detecting portion by utilizing a pressure introducing portion to detect a reference pressure correlative to a reference orifice, detects a purge-valve closed pressure that is a pressure in an evaporation system of when a pressure is introduced into the evaporation system by the pressure introducing portion after the purge valve is controlled to be closed, and detects a purge-valve open pressure that is a pressure in the evaporation system of when a pressure is introduced into the evaporation system by the pressure introducing portion after the purge valve is controlled to be open. The abnormality diagnosis device determines whether a leakage abnormality of the evaporation system and a fixed open abnormality are generated, based on a magnitude relation between the reference pressure, the purge-valve closed pressure, and the purge-valve open pressure.
