Abstract: The present invention provides an abnormality diagnosis system capable of improving reliability of a diagnosis result on a state of a detector mounted to a vehicle. An abnormality diagnosis system (50) that diagnoses abnormality of a detector (20) detecting surrounding information on the vehicle includes: a positioning device (59); a storage device (55) that stores map data (70) containing data on an object existing on/above the ground; and a control section (51) that diagnoses presence or absence of the abnormality of the detector (20) by comparing the map data (70) with detection data obtained by the detector (20).
