A method for controlling a return valve of an exhaust system and to an exhaust system with a control unit which is configured to carry out the method. The method is based on the object of avoiding an overpressure in the line system for urea solution as a result of a reduction in the injection rate. The method includes the steps of determining whether one or more of the following states are present during the operation of the exhaust system: a) an injection rate per unit of time of urea solution of the dosing valve is less than or equal to a predefined injection limit, b) a pressure measured by the pressure sensor in the line system overshoots a predefined first upper pressure limit (P). The return valve is opened for a first predefined opening duration (&#x394;t) if states a) and b) are present and at least one of the states has already been present for at least a predefined period of time (&#x394;ta). The return valve is closed after the first predefined opening duration (&#x394;t) has elapsed.
