Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for inferring and controlling the temperature of a NO.sub.x trap located downstream from a three-way catalyst that employs a temperature sensor to correct a temperature estimation model under relatively steady-state conditions to provide a more accurate estimate of NO.sub.x trap temperature and three-way catalyst temperature. In a second embodiment, the three-way catalyst also includes a temperature sensor for improving the instantaneous catalyst temperature estimation.
