Abstract:
Provided is a control device for an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine includes, in an exhaust passage, an electrically heated catalyst device in which a catalyst is supported on a conductive base material) that generates heat when energized. The control device includes an electronic control unit configured to control the internal combustion engine such that, in a case where condensate is generated in the exhaust passage on the upstream side of the catalyst device in an exhaust flow direction, an engine output in a region where an engine load is equal to or greater than a predetermined load becomes smaller than in a case where condensate is not generated.
