    摘要: An exhaust passage (15) of an internal-combustion engine (10) includes a selective reduction NOx catalyst (34) and an after-catalyst NOx sensor (50) for detecting a NOx concentration Cr at the downstream thereof. Reducing agent is selectively added from an addition valve (40) to the NOx catalyst. A NOx concentration Ce at the upstream side of the NOx catalyst is detected or estimated. NOx concentrations Cr and Ce before and after the NOx catalyst, which were detected or estimated during the stoppage of an addition of the reducing agent, are compared to each other to thereby determine an abnormality of the after-catalyst NOx sensor (50). An abnormality diagnosis is executed while the addition of reducing agent is being stopped to remove an influence by the NOx catalyst.

    摘要: A temperature increasing degree of the catalytic outflow exhaust temperature at the time the exhaust air-fuel ratio is changed to the rich side is found in respect to each of a plurality of the catalytic inflow exhaust temperatures. A grade (S) of the temperature increasing degree is found based upon the inflow exhaust temperature and the temperature increasing degree to determine degradation of the catalyst based upon at least one of a maximum value (Smax) of the grade and the inflow exhaust temperature (Tinmax) corresponding to the maximum value. An accurate catalyst degradation diagnosis can be carried out since not only the temperature increasing degree but also the inflow exhaust temperature are taken into account.

    摘要: The invention intends to provide a technology which makes it possible to diagnose with higher accuracy whether or not abnormality occurs in a filter regeneration system causing excessive execution frequency of a regeneration process. The filter regeneration system initiates execution of the regeneration process, incase an estimated particulate matter (PM) accumulation amount at the filter reaches a pre-determined regeneration requiring accumulation amount; or in case the pressure upstream of the filter or the differential pressure across the filter reaches a pre-determined regeneration requiring value, the value being larger than the pressure or the differential pressure corresponding to the regeneration requiring accumulation amount. Then, the diagnosis is carried out based on a ratio of an estimated PM accumulation amount at the initiation of the execution of the regeneration process to the regeneration requiring accumulation amount.

    摘要: In an exhaust purification system having a urea addition device adding a urea aqueous solution to an NOx catalyst of selective reduction type provided in an exhaust passage in an internal combustion engine, a sensor detecting an ammonia concentration is provided at the downstream side of the NOx catalyst. During fuel cut, a predetermined amount of urea aqueous solution is added. Then, based on a sensor output obtained at this time, an abnormality in at least one of the urea addition device and the urea aqueous solution is detected. The addition of the urea aqueous solution during the fuel cut prevents reactive consumption between urea and NOx. The sensor output corresponding to the amount of the urea aqueous solution is obtained. This output condition is compared with a normal one to allow determination of whether or not an appropriate amount of urea aqueous solution of appropriate quality has been added.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a technology that enables detection of a fault of a PM trapper with improved accuracy. In the present invention, a pressure sensor 20 that measures a differential pressure across a PM trapper 11 is provided, and a fault of a PM trapper is determined based on an amount of change in the differential pressure across the PM trapper 11 between two different operation states of an internal combustion engine 1 in which the ambient temperature around the pressure sensor 20 falls within a specific temperature range. Since variations in the offset error of the differential pressure sensor 20 caused by changes in the ambient temperature around the differential pressure sensor 20 is made small, the amount of change in the differential pressure across the PM trapper 11 can be measured more accurately, and a fault of the PM trapper 11 can be detected with improved accuracy.

    摘要: In a compression ignition internal combustion engine provided with an NOx storage-reduction catalyst on an exhaust system, when the air fuel ratio of the exhaust gas being in a lean state is controlled to a rich state, a response time (ResS) from a time point an air fuel ratio sensor detects a first air fuel ratio (AF1), which is leaner than a stoichiometric air fuel ratio (AFS), to a time point the air fuel ratio sensor detects a second air fuel ratio (AF2), which is equal to or leaner than the stoichiometric air fuel ratio (AFS) and richer than the first air fuel ratio (AF1). When the response time (ResS) exceeds a stoichiometric air fuel ratio shift reference time (StdS), a determination is made that the air fuel ratio sensor is degraded.
