ABSTRACT:
A system for calibrating a response to an exhaust-stream NOxlevel in a motor vehicle is provided. The system comprises a NOxsensor that includes an electrode, a current from the electrode responsive to the exhaust-stream NOxlevel while a bias voltage is applied to the electrode. The system further comprises a controller configured to interrupt the bias voltage and to adjust a motor-vehicle response to the current based at least partly on an attained voltage of the electrode while the bias voltage is interrupted. Other embodiments provide a method of calibrating a NOxsensor response in terms of gain and offset parameters.
