Abstract
A method for testing and adjusting catalytic exhaust gas emission control systems of internal combustion engines, in which the fuel-air-ratio is regulated by means of a .lambda.-probe (control-probe) arranged in the exhaust gas stream upstream of the catalyst, whereby the exhaust gas stream is measured downstream of the catalyst by means of a further .lambda.-probe (test-probe). The voltage average value and amplitude magnitude of the signal produced by the test-probe are determined and serve for adjusting the operating point of the control system and for the recognition of the catalyst efficiency.
