Abstract

There is provided a controller and a control method for an internal combustion engine capable of correcting a detection error of a crankshaft angle with high accuracy. The controller of the internal combustion engine is provided with an angle information detection unit that detects an angle interval and a time interval with a specific crank angle sensor, an angle information correction unit that corrects the angle interval or the time interval by the correction value, an angle information calculation unit that calculates a first crank angle acceleration based on the corrected values of first interval number and calculates a second crank angle acceleration based on the corrected values of second interval number which is larger number than the first interval number, and a correction value change unit that changes the correction value so that the first crank angle acceleration approaches the second crank angle acceleration.
