PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an abnormality diagnostic apparatus of a fuel property detection system having increased diagnostic accuracy. SOLUTION: This abnormality diagnostic apparatus diagnoses the presence or absence of the abnormality of a fuel property detection system having a fuel temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of a fuel and a fuel property detection sensor for detecting the fuel properties of the fuel (such as alcoholic concentration and weight). The abnormality diagnostic apparatus includes: a threshold setting means 40 for setting an upper limit threshold Thu1 and/or the lower limit threshold Thd1 of the value detected by the fuel property detection sensor; and a system abnormality determination means S50 for determining that an abnormality is present when the value detected by the fuel property detection sensor exceeds the thresholds Thu1 and Thd1. The threshold setting means S40 sets the thresholds Thu1 and Thd1 to different values according to the fuel temperature detected by the fuel temperature sensor. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
