Abstract

A method and an apparatus including a processing circuit structured to: receive a first signal indicative of an upstream air-fuel equivalence ratio from a first sensor positioned upstream of an intake of a catalyst, the first signal defining a duty cycle, receive a second signal indicative of a downstream air-fuel equivalence ratio from a second sensor positioned downstream of the intake of the catalyst, adjust the duty cycle based at least in part on the second signal, and provide a fault signal in response to the duty cycle not meeting a duty cycle range for a predetermined period of time. A notification circuit is structured to provide a notification indicating that the second sensor is faulty in response to receiving the fault signal.
