  • Determining a sensor error of a sensor in an exhaust gas system of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 12012881
    Abstract: A method determines a sensor error of a sensor in an exhaust gas system of a motor vehicle. One step of the method involves determining at least one actual sensor signal of the sensor. Another step of the method involves determining at least one target sensor signal of the sensor by means of a model. A further step of the method involves determining the sensor error of the sensor according to a deviation between the actual sensor signal of the sensor and the target sensor signal of the sensor.

  • Detecting a modification of a particle filter for an exhaust branch of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 11428142
    Abstract: A system for identifying a modification of a component in an exhaust gas line of a motor vehicle, includes a particulate filter, a diagnostic system, a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor, and an evaluation unit. The evaluation unit is configured to receive from the first temperature sensor a first temperature variable which is characteristic of a first exhaust gas temperature and to receive from the second temperature sensor a second temperature variable which is characteristic of a second exhaust gas temperature. The evaluation unit is also configured to compare the temperature variables or comparison variables which are derived therefrom with each other. Depending on the comparison, the evaluation unit is also configured to determine a modification of the particulate filter.
