Abstract
The present invention relates to an internal combustion engine including a VTC controller for controlling driving of a variable valve timing device and an engine control module (ECM) for calculating and transferring a valve timing control command. In the present invention, each of the VTC controller and the ECM detects whether an abnormality of a communication circuit used for transferring a control command is present or not. If the abnormality is detected, the VTC controller and the ECM set a target value for an abnormal state with the same characteristic, and perform a control operation based on the target value in the abnormal state. In this manner, a decrease in engine operability when an abnormality occurs in the communication circuit of a control command is suppressed.
