Abstract
An exhaust control system includes: a temperature control module configured to, in response to a shutdown of an engine, turn on an air pump that, when on, pumps air into an exhaust system of the engine upstream of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst; a target module configured to, while the air pump is on and the engine is off in response to the shutdown, selectively determine a target rate of injection of a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) by a DEF injector based on increasing a present amount of ammonia stored by the SCR catalyst to at least a predetermined amount of ammonia; and a DEF control module configured to, while the air pump is on and the engine is off in response to the shutdown, control injection of the DEF by the DEF injector upstream of the SCR catalyst based on the target rate.
