Abstract: When an intake air amount is greater than or equal to the lower limit intake air amount and less than or equal to the upper limit intake air amount, a CPU sets, from the first cylinder group that increases a detection value of an upstream air-fuel ratio sensor, one of cylinders that has the smallest cutoff frequency, which is stored in a storage device, as a cylinder to which the supply of fuel will be cut off. Then, the CPU obtains the maximum value of an upstream air-fuel ratio as a maximum air-fuel ratio. When the maximum air-fuel ratio is greater than a determination value, the CPU determines that specific cylinder fuel cutoff control is normal. When the maximum air-fuel ratio is less than or equal to the determination value, the CPU determines that the specific cylinder fuel cutoff control is anomalous.
