    Abstract: A system includes an internal combustion engine providing exhaust gases to an exhaust conduit, an aftertreatment system having an SCR catalyst component and disposed in the exhaust conduit. The system further includes a first NH3 sensing element preferentially sensitive to NH3 and a second NH3 sensing element preferentially sensitive to NO2 in the exhaust conduit. Both NH3 sensing elements are positioned downstream of the SCR catalyst component. The system includes a controller having a test conditions module that determines whether an NO2 concentration downstream of the SCR catalyst component is below a threshold value, an NH3 diagnostic module that provides a detection comparison value in response to the NO2 concentration, a first signal from the first NH3 sensing element, and a second signal from the second NH3 sensing element. The controller includes a sensor condition module that provides an NH3 sensor condition value in response to the detection comparison value.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: One illustrative embodiment is a method comprising operating an engine and an aftertreatment system by controlling a plurality of charge constituents provided the engine, iteratively perturbating one or more combustion inputs effective to vary operation of the engine, and determining fuel consumption and emissions information at the operating points effective to seek a weighted optimization of multiple parameters including fuel consumption and reductant consumption while also meeting a predetermined NOx emissions criterion.

    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for a selective catalytic reductant (SCR) catalyst with an NH3 sensor operationally coupled mid-catalyst of the SCR catalyst and a controller in electronic communication with the NH3 sensor configured to interpret a diagnostic enablement condition of the NH3 sensor. The controller is configured to control a reductant injector to inject varying reductant amounts over a range of ANR values in response to the enablement condition being satisfied. The controller also is configured to determine a lower bound of estimates of the NH3 amount at the mid-bed catalyst position for the reductant amounts, and determine an NH3 sensor fault condition in response to actual sensor outputs and the NH3 lower bound value.
