- the second oxygen sensor 52 is “the catalyst” in the first, second, and fourth inventions. It corresponds to “exhaust gas sensor”.
- the “air-fuel ratio control means” in the first to fourth and sixth inventions is executed in steps 106, By executing the processing of 108, 110, the “oxygen storage amount calculating means” in the first, second, and fourth inventions executes the processing of steps 112, 114, 116 to perform the first, second, and second processing.
- the “degradation detection means” in the fourth invention executes the processing of steps 112 and 116 to thereby execute the "Exit means” is realized respectively.
