Patent ID: 10125654

Abstract:
An exhaust control system for an internal combustion engine comprises: a trapping capability acquisition part that obtains information regarding a PM trapping capability, based on a detection value of an exhaust sensor provided to detect a predetermined parameter relating to an exhaust gas flowing out of an SCRF; and a NOx reduction capability acquisition part obtains information regarding a NOx reduction capability, based on an amount of NOx in the exhaust gas flowing out of the SCRF. The exhaust control system determines and distinguishes between a trapping abnormal state in which a PM trapping function by the SCRF is failed and a sensor abnormal state in which a detection function of the predetermined parameter by the exhaust sensor is failed, based on the NOx reduction capability obtained by the NOx reduction capability acquisition part, when the trapping capability obtained by the trapping capability acquisition part is in a predetermined low trapping capability state. This allows for accurate abnormality determination with regard to the SCRF in the exhaust control system for the internal combustion engine having the SCRF.
