Abstract
A method for detecting continuous injection during the operation of an internal combustion engine with an injection system having a high-pressure accumulator for a fuel, wherein—a high pressure in the injection system is monitored as a function of time, wherein—in order to detect continuous injection it is checked whether the high pressure has dropped by a predetermined continuous injection differential pressure value within a predetermined continuous injection time interval, wherein—it is checked whether a reduction valve which connects the high-pressure accumulator to a fuel reservoir has been triggered, and wherein—continuous injection is detected if—a reduction valve has not been triggered in a predetermined checking time interval before the dropping of the high pressure, and if—the high pressure has dropped by the predetermined continuous injection differential value amount within the predetermined continuous injection time interval.
