  • Patent number: 11585727
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing the dynamics of a sensor in the fresh air or exhaust gas tract of internal combustion engines, as well as a computer program, a computer program product and a corresponding vehicle. It is provided that a corresponding sensor for measuring a pressure signal in the fresh air or exhaust gas tract of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, which is coupled with a control and computing unit, is checked with respect to its dynamic characteristics. Measured values of differing frequency ranges are measured, these being used as the basis for a calculation of a characteristic. After the calculation, the characteristic is compared with a threshold value stored in a user-defined manner in the control and computing unit. If the calculated characteristic deviates from the threshold value, at least one triggering signal is triggered, so that an impaired sensor dynamic of the sensor is displayed.

  • Patent number: 11428597
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a combustion machine, wherein the combustion machine comprises at least one internal combustion engine and one intake air line via which fresh air can be fed to the internal combustion engine. In addition, at least one intake air compressor and, upstream from the intake air compressor, a control flap are integrated into the intake air line. In one operating state of the combustion machine, the control flap is closed so far that a negative pressure relative to the ambient pressure is produced by means of the running internal combustion engine in the portion of the intake air line that lies between the control flap and the internal combustion engine, with an actual value that is associated with this negative pressure being compared with a target value and the presence or absence of leakage in this portion of the intake air line being deduced from any difference that might exist between the actual value and the target value.
