Abstract

See full text

An on-board diagnostic method for detecting whether a diesel emissions control system is functioning properly by continuously monitoring the temperature rise generated by the catalyst and the light-off temperature with reference to theoretical values stored in an engine control computer. When either of the parameters falls below a predetermined threshold value, the vehicle emissions may exceed emission standards and, if so, the system causes a malfunction indicator light (MIL) to be energize to advise the driver of the need for service.
