Abstract: A storage device stores mapping data and association data. The mapping data defines a mapping that outputs an estimated value of the temperature of a catalyst using a warm-up operation amount variable and the previous value of the estimated value as an input. The association data associates the integrated value of an intake air amount of an internal combustion engine from the startup of the engine and the temperature of the catalyst. The execution device repeatedly calculates the estimated value based on the output of the mapping. When the correspondence relationship between the integrated value and the estimated value is different from the correspondence relationship between the integrated value and the temperature of the catalyst in the association data, the warm-up process is determined to have an anomaly.

A loosening process loosens the standard to a larger extent when the degree of deterioration is large than when the degree of deterioration is small.
