Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008029236A1] A catalyst monitoring system diagnoses deterioration of an NOx catalyst (18) which is arranged in an exhaust passage (12) of an internal combustion engine (10). An NOx sensor (25) is arranged downstream of the NOx catalyst (18). An output integrated value of the NOx sensor (25) is calculated by integrating an output from the NOx sensor (25) is calclated by integrating an outputfrom the NOx sensor (25) during at least a period near the end of rich spike control. Deterioration of the NOx catalyst (18) is diagnosed based on the output integrated value of the NOx sensor (25), as there is a correlation between the amount of ammonia NH3 which flows downstream of the NOx catalyst and the NOx sensor output integrated value near the line when the rich spike control ends.
