Abstract

A method includes raising a temperature of an SCR catalyst for a predetermined time period while dosing urea. The method further includes maintaining the temperature of the SCR catalyst without dosing urea for a second predetermined time period. The method further includes filtering out at least low frequency data from a first NOsensor upstream of the SCR catalyst and from a second NOsensor downstream of the SCR catalyst, and comparing the filtered data from the first NOsensor and the second NOsensor without dosing urea over a third predetermined time period. The method further includes providing a NOsensor condition index for at least one of the first NOsensor and the second NOsensor in response to the comparing.
