A method of detecting a blocked pressure line in an internal combustion engine SCR system, which includes a feed pump, a dosing module, a pressure sensor, and an electronic control unit, includes a reference signal of a pressure (p) in the pressure line being measured over a measuring time (t) if a reducing agent solution is not dosed by the dosing module, and a signal energy of the reference signal is then calculated; a pressure signal being measured over the measuring time (t) during the dosing of a dosing mass of the reducing agent solution by the dosing module; and a signal energy of the pressure signal is then calculated; a ratio of the signal energies of the pressure signal to the signal energy of the reference signal being calculated; and finally the blocked pressure line being detected if the ratio falls short of a first pre-definable threshold value.

Method for detecting a blocked pressure line

A method for determining an exhaust gas temperature of an internal combustion engine, which is performed by measuring a lambda value of the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine and calculating a calculated exhaust gas temperature as a function of the measured lambda value, and comparing the calculated exhaust gas temperature with a measured exhaust gas temperature and adapting a function used for the calculation as a function of the comparison.
