IPC: F01N3/02
Filed: 2002-10-09
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust emission control device capable of detecting the abnormality of a selector valve.  <P>SOLUTION: In this exhaust emission control device, an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine is branched into two branched exhaust passages, and a filter 24 is mounted on one of the branched exhaust passages. A selector valve 27 switched between a filter inflow position for allowing the exhaust gas to flow into the filter and a bypass position for bypassing the filter is mounted on the branching part. Pressure loss estimating means 29, 30 are mounted for estimating the pressure loss generated in each branched exhaust passage in accordance with the operating position of the selector valve. The abnormality of the selector valve is determined in a case when the difference between a value of the pressure loss estimated by the pressure loss estimating means when the selector valve is commanded to be located on the filter inflow position, and a value of the pressure loss estimated by the pressure loss estimating means when the selector valve is commanded to be located at the bypass position, is less than a predetermined value.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
