  • Patent number: 8401727
    Abstract: In a method and a device for the diagnosis of an NOx sensor (54) for an internal combustion engine, during a homogenous operation of the internal combustion engine, a base diagnostic value (NOx_DIAG_BAS) of the NOx sensor (54) is determined as a function of a reference value (I_REF) of a measuring signal of the NOx sensor (54) determined in a new state of the NOx sensor (54) and a current value (I_AV) of the measuring signal of the NOx sensor (54). A time-dependent measuring value sequence (O2_EG_T) of the oxygen content of the exhaust gas in the exhaust gas system (14) is determined by the exhaust gas probe (53). Depending on the measuring value sequence (O2_EG_T) of the oxygen content of the exhaust gas, and the base diagnostic value (NOx_DIAG_BAS) of the NOx sensor (54), a corrected diagnostic value (NOx_DIAG_COR) is determined for the NOx sensor (54).
