  • Method and device for checking a functional capability of an internal combustion engine which is operated by a multi-fuel system
    Publication number: 20150122238
    Abstract: A method for checking a functional capability of an internal combustion engine operated by a multi-fuel system, in which method at least two control devices electronically control a combustion process of the internal combustion engine with a different fuel, each control device having a dedicated safety concept, and a system functionality of the multi-fuel system being divided among the at least two control devices. To describe an overall safety concept, one control unit, which may be one of the at least two control devices, monitors the overall system functionality of the multi-fuel system.
