Abstract:
A system for diagnosing a sensor of an exhaust aftertreatment system may include receiving a first tank level value from a sensor. A plurality of reductant dosing command values over a period of time are received. A dosed reductant value is determined responsive to the plurality of reductant dosing command values reaching a threshold integrated value. A second tank level value is received from the sensor responsive to the dosed reductant value reaching the threshold integrated value. A sensor-estimated dosing value is determined based on the difference between the first tank level value and the second tank level value. The sensor may be diagnosed as performing outside of an acceptable calibration range based on the difference between the sensor-estimated dosing value and the dosed reductant value.
