    Abstract: Systems and methods for diagnosing an exhaust aftertreatment system are provided. A controller determines, for each sensor of a plurality of sensors, one or more performance parameters based on measurement data obtained from the sensor that is indicative of a performance of the sensor or a component of the exhaust aftertreatment system. The controller determines, for each performance parameter, a corresponding degradation level indicator indicative of a performance degradation of the corresponding sensor or the corresponding component of the exhaust aftertreatment system. The controller can determine, for each degradation level indicator, a corresponding diagnosis threshold value for detecting an operational state of the corresponding sensor or the corresponding component of the exhaust aftertreatment system. The controller can determine a multipoint diagnosis threshold value based on the diagnosis threshold values, and determine an operational state of the aftertreatment system using the multipoint diagnosis threshold value.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for diagnosing an exhaust aftertreatment system and mitigating the effects of a potential fault in the exhaust aftertreatment system are provided. A method includes: receiving, by a controller, data indicative of an amount of at least one of a gain or an offset affecting a sensor in an aftertreatment system; determining, by the controller, a compensation value based on the amount of the at least one of the gain or the offset; receiving, by the controller, data indicative of an amount of an exhaust gas constituent in the aftertreatment system; applying, by the controller, the determined compensation value to the data indicative of the amount of the exhaust gas constituent in the aftertreatment system to create compensated data; and initiating, by the controller, an action based on the compensated data.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for diagnosing an exhaust aftertreatment system and mitigating the effects of a potential fault in the exhaust aftertreatment system are provided. A system includes: a sensor structured to provide exhaust gas constituent information, and one or more processing circuits configured to: receive information indicative of an amount of at least one of a gain or an offset affecting the sensor; determine a compensation gain value and a compensation offset value; receive the exhaust gas constituent information; apply the compensation gain value to the exhaust gas constituent information to create compensated information when the compensation gain value is less than a first threshold, the compensation offset value is less than a second threshold and the compensation gain value is less than the compensation offset value; and initiate an action based on the compensated information.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for diagnosing an exhaust aftertreatment system are provided. A method includes: receiving, by a controller and for each sensor of a plurality of sensors, one or more respective degradation level indicators indicative of one or more failure levels of the sensor, each of the one or more degradation level indicators determined using a corresponding performance parameter; receiving, by the controller and for each sensor of the plurality of sensors, one or more diagnosis threshold values; determining, by the controller, a multipoint diagnosis threshold value using the one or more diagnosis threshold values associated with the plurality of sensors; detecting, by the controller, an operational state of the aftertreatment system by comparing a performance value of the aftertreatment system to the multipoint diagnosis threshold value; and causing, by the controller, an indication of the operational state of the aftertreatment system to be displayed on a display device.
