dependable
technology
of the particulate matter sensor ensures reliable monitoring of
the diesel particulate filter, which helps to reduce particulate
emissions by approximately 99 %.

Task Precise and up-to-date data from the exhaust

system forms the basis for all functions – from mixture forma-
tion to exhaust gas treatment. Specialized sensors are being
developed for these functions. Tighter emissions legislation
reliable compliance
in particular means that additional sensors are required, includ- with emissions limits due to Bosch’s extensive know-how,
ing the particulate matter sensor. This is used to monitor the pioneer of the particulate matter sensor.
the performance of the diesel particulate filter (DPF), which
helps to re­ d uce particulate emissions by approximately
99 percent. The particulate matter sensor is installed down-
stream of the DPF and can be mounted easily and quickly by
means of a retaining screw.

Function The operating principle of the particulate

matter sensor is based on the measurement of resistance.
Soot particulates are deposited on an electrode structure and
form conductive soot paths between the electrodes. Before
each measurement phase, the sensor element is regenerated
by heating in order to ensure it is in a predefined state at the
start of the measurement process. The DPF diagnostic soft­
ware then analyzes the DPF performance on the basis of the
measured current.
