Abstract
A control system of an internal combustion engine controls the starting of an internal combustion engine, which has been stopped, based on the establishment of a predetermined starting condition. The control system is provided with at least two power sources, a low-voltage power source and a high-voltage power source, a starting mechanism that is driven by the power source so as to operate the internal combustion engine, and a switching mechanism for switching between a connection, of the starting mechanism, to the low-voltage power source and a connection, of the starting mechanism, to the high-voltage power source.
