Summary:To provide a catalyst deterioration diagnosis method capable of highly accurately performing catalyst deterioration diagnosis on the basis of an NOx concentration in an exhaust gas after passing a catalyst.SOLUTION: A catalyst deterioration diagnosis method is provided for a system including a gas sensor 702 configured to measure an air-fuel ratio and a nitrogen oxide concentration of an exhaust gas after passing a catalyst 601, and having ammonium coherency. When a fuel injection device 501 restarts fuel injection after fuel cut in a case that a latest air-fuel ratio obtained by the gas sensor 702 is greater than a predetermined threshold air-fuel ratio that is greater than a theoretical air-fuel ratio, monitoring of temporary increase in the nitrogen oxide concentration detected by the gas sensor 702 is started, thereby obtaining a temporary increase amount of the nitrogen oxide concentration. It is determined whether the temporary increase amount is greater than a threshold amount.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】触媒通過後の排ガス中のNOx濃度に基づいての触媒劣化診断を高精度で行うことができる触媒劣化診断方法を提供する。【解決手段】触媒劣化診断方法は、触媒601を通過した排ガスの空燃比および窒素酸化物濃度を測定するものであってアンモニア干渉性を有するガスセンサ702を含むシステムのためのものである。ガスセンサ702によって最新で得られている空燃比が、理論空燃比よりも大きな予め定められたしきい空燃比よりも大きい場合において、燃料噴射装置501が燃料カット後に燃料噴射を再開するときに、ガスセンサ702によって検出される窒素酸化物濃度の一時的増大をモニタし始めることによって、窒素酸化物濃度の一時的増大量が取得される。一時的増大量がしきい量よりも大きいか否かが判定される。【選択図】図1
