    摘要: An exemplary method includes determining an NH3 reference target in an exhaust conduit between a first SCR catalyst and a second SCR catalyst. The method includes determining a present amount of NH3 in the exhaust conduit between the first SCR catalyst and the second SCR catalyst, and determining an NH3 error term in response to the NH3 reference target and the present amount of NH3. The method further includes determining an amount of NOx downstream of the second SCR catalyst, and adjusting one of the NH3 reference target and a reductant doser command in response to the amount of NOx downstream of the second SCR catalyst. The method further includes providing a reductant doser command in response to the NH3 error term.

    摘要: A method for diagnosing NOx sensors in an exhaust aftertreatment system includes suspending reductant dosing in an exhaust aftertreatment system; purging a reductant deposit in a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system of the exhaust aftertreatment system; adjusting at least one of an ignition timing and an engine speed for an engine to adjust an engine out nitrogen oxide (NOx) amount; receiving measured SCR inlet NOx data from a SCR inlet NOx sensor and measured SCR outlet NOx data from a SCR outlet NOx sensor; determining a phase shift between the measured SCR inlet and SCR outlet NOx data; applying the determined phase shift to the SCR outlet NOx data; and determining a diagnostic feature based on the SCR inlet NOx data and the phase shifted SCR outlet NOx data regarding a state of the SCR inlet and outlet NOx sensors.

    摘要: An example method includes interpreting an NH3 composition value at a position upstream of a selective reduction catalyst (SCR) element fluidly disposed in the exhaust conduit of an engine, interpreting a NOx composition value at a position downstream of the SCR element, and determining an NH3 sensor rationality threshold in response to the upstream NH3 composition value. The method further includes determining an NH3 sensor health value as indicating a sensor failure in response to the downstream NOx composition value exceeding the NH3 sensor rationality threshold.
