Abstract

The invention relates to a secondary gas injection rection pressure sensor downstream leakage or block indentification algorithm. A control module and method for an exhaust system of an engine can include a secondary air intake (SAI) pressure module that monitors SAI pressure. An accumulation module can accumulate an SAI string length based on the monitored SAI pressure. A calculation module can determine an average SAI string length based on the accumulated SAI string length. A determination module can determine an operating characteristic of the vehicle exhaust based on the average SAI string length.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 025,556, filed February 1, 2008. The above-mentioned application publication is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] [0002] The present disclosure relates to secondary gas injection reaction systems (SAIR), and more particularly, to methods of leak or blockage detection for SAIR systems downstream of SAIR pressure sensors. Background technique [0004] [0003] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and do not constitute prior art. [0005] [0004] It is known to use a catalytic converter in the exhaust gas flow path of a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine. Catalytic converters consist of a substrate coated with a catalyst material that catalyzes the nitriding of hydrocarbon molecules and carbon monoxide molecules and reduces emissions of ni...
