Abstract
This invention provides a control system for an internal combustion engine that can improve heating performance by utilizing an opening and closing device. [Solution] The internal combustion engine control system is a control system for an internal combustion engine mounted on a vehicle, and comprises a heating device that uses the heat of the internal combustion engine to heat the interior of the vehicle, a switch that opens and closes the exhaust pipe of the internal combustion engine, and a control device that controls the heating device and the switch. The control device operates the heating device and closes the switch when the temperature inside the vehicle is lower than a set temperature set by the user of the vehicle.
