Abstract

See full text

A method of determining a malfunction in a hydrocarbon injection system for an internal combustion engine having an exhaust system with a diesel particulate filter and a diesel oxidation catalyst, is provided. An efficiency of a diesel oxidation catalyst to convert hydrocarbons injected for regeneration of a diesel particulate filter into heat is estimated based upon an input temperature of the diesel oxidation catalyst, an output temperature of the diesel oxidation catalyst, and an output temperature of a diesel particulate filter. The estimated efficiency is compared to a predetermined stored efficiency value. An indication of a malfunction is generated when the comparison of the estimated efficiency to the predetermined stored efficiency exceeds a threshold amount.
