  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MONITORING THE FUNCTIONING OF A CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
    Publication number: 20180350169
    Abstract: A method and a device for monitoring the functioning of a crankcase ventilation system of an internal combustion engine, crankcase ventilation gas being supplied to an intake line of the internal combustion engine via at least one crankcase ventilation line from the crankcase via an oil separator and a crankcase pressure regulating valve. An immediate surrounding environment of the internal combustion engine is monitored by at least one sensor that is sensitive to crankcase ventilation gas or to at least one crankcase ventilation gas component for the occurrence of crankcase ventilation gas, and that, if a presence of crankcase ventilation gas is determined, an informative or warning message is produced.
