Abstract
Various embodiments include a method for diagnosis of a high-pressure sensor of a motor vehicle comprising: measuring a pressure with the high-pressure sensor; feeding the measured pressure to a control unit; evaluating the measured pressure with the control unit and determining a control signal for an amount of fuel to be injected; checking whether a first difference between two successive values of the pressure measurement signal is greater than a calculated maximum difference value; checking whether a second difference between a minimum pressure measurement signal measured within a time segment and a maximum pressure measurement signal measured within the time segment is less than an expected change in the pressure measurement signal; and checking whether a measured pressure gradient is smaller than an expected pressure gradient.
