Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande destiné à un moteur à combustion interne, possédant un filtre adapté pour piéger la suie dans le gaz d'échappement, une soupape d'addition ménagée en aval du filtre dans une direction d'écoulement du gaz d'échappement, et un catalyseur qui réduit le NOx au moyen d'urée aqueuse injectée à partir de la soupape d'addition. Le dispositif de commande comprend une unité de commande électronique conçue pour inhiber l'exécution d'une commande d'arrêt automatique pour le moteur à combustion interne lorsqu'un traitement de régénération de filtre destiné à brûler et à éliminer la suie piégée par le filtre est exécuté.
