Abstract

See full text

An engine control system of an internal combustion engine coupled to a NOx trap uses a integrated difference between NOx exiting the trap and NOx entering the trap to determine NOx storage capacity. NOx exiting the trap is measured by a NOx sensor downstream of the trap. NOx entering the trap is determined based on engine operating conditions. The values are integrated until the ratio of NOx exiting to NOx entering reaches a predetermined threshold.
