Abstract

An abnormality diagnosis apparatus is used for a secondary air supply system for an internal combustion engine. The system includes an air pump for supplying secondary air into an upstream of a catalyst in an exhaust gas passage of the internal combustion engine. A secondary air detecting means detects secondary air information. An abnormality diagnosis means performs an abnormality diagnosis of the secondary air supply system in accordance with the secondary air information detected using the secondary air detecting means. A temperature information determining means performs at least one of detection and estimation of air pump temperature information. A condition setting means performs at least one of setting and compensating a condition for evaluating normality and abnormality of the secondary air supply system in accordance with the air pump temperature information.
