Abstract
A method for switching between operating modes of an internal combustion engine having a plurality of control units, in particular a switchover between full-engine operation and half-engine operation, the control units being able to exchange data via a data link. The method includes a step in which it is checked whether an operating mode switchover should occur and that, if an operating mode switchover should occur, the data link between the control units is tested and/or the operating state of the control units is balanced.
