Abstract

A method includes determining a first NOx conversion efficiency (η) value and determining that a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) level has increased a threshold amount. Further, the method includes determining a second NOx conversion η value and comparing the first NOx conversion η value and the second NOx conversion η value, determining a NOx conversion η change in response to comparing, and determining a DEF quality indicator in response to the NOx conversion η change.
