Abstract
An electronic control unit diagnoses leakage abnormality in an intake system downstream from a supercharger provided in the intake system of the engine. The electronic control unit sets, as a supercharging region monitoring value, a ratio between a first air amount obtained from a detection value of an air flowmeter and a second air amount obtained from a detection value of an intake pressure sensor, the ratio being the ratio obtained when the engine is operated in a supercharging region. The electronic control unit also sets, as a non-supercharging region monitoring value, a ratio obtained when the engine is driven in a non-supercharging region. The electronic control unit determines the presence of the leakage abnormality in the intake system when the ratio of the supercharging region monitoring value to the non-supercharging region monitoring value is larger than a predetermined specified value.
