Abstract
The invention relates to a method for monitoring blowing in secondary air to the exhaust gas in an internal combustion engine equipped with a measuring sensor for detecting the oxygen content in the exhaust gas. The method is based on the reaction of the measuring sensor to the switch in of the secondary air. The quantity of the air inducted by the engine is increased when the secondary air is supplied to the exhaust gas.
