ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to systems and methods of detecting faults in an exhaust line fuel injection system. An expected relationship between a temperature within the exhaust system and a commanded fuel injection rate or amount is compared to an actual relationship in order to detect faults. The temperature is preferably a temperature of, within, or downstream of an exhaust system device that catalyzes an oxidation or partial oxidation reaction of the fuel, such as an oxidation catalyst or a fuel reformer. The expected relationship may be defined in terms of a thermal model of a system comprising the catalytic device. The invention can be used to detect spray quality faults or to detect fuel injector faults without the use of flow meter.
