Systems and methods for estimating a temperature of an after treatment device in an exhaust system of an engine are described. In one example, the temperature is estimated during condition when an engine exits a fuel cut-out mode and excess fuel is delivered to the after treatment device for the purpose of increasing after treatment device efficiency.

Methods and system for estimating a temperature of an after treatment device during reactivation of an exhaust after treatment device

Systems and methods for estimating a temperature of an after treatment device in an exhaust system of an engine are described. In one example, the temperature is estimated during condition when an engine is in a fuel cut-out mode and fuel vapors are being released to the engine via a fuel vapor storage canister.
