  • Method and system for regenerating a gasoline particulate filter
    Patent number: 10598069
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for regenerating a particulate filter. In one example, vehicle speed control mode parameters may be adjusted in response to an amount of soot stored in a particulate filter being greater than a first threshold. The vehicle speed control parameters may be returned to base values in response to the amount of soot stored in the particulate filter being less than a second threshold.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 27, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 24, 2020
    Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLC
    Inventors: Kenneth Carl Leisenring, Allen Lehmen, Colin Yager, Gregory Mason
