Abstract
In a method for monitoring the dynamics of gas sensors of an internal combustion engine, which gas sensors exhibit a low-pass behavior as a function of geometry, measurement principle, aging, or contamination, a dynamics diagnosis is carried out, upon a change in the gas state variable to be measured, on the basis of a comparison between a modeled and a measured signal. The parameters of the low-pass behavior are determined in direction-dependent fashion by minimizing direction-dependent error signals created by high-pass filtering and logical combination with direction-dependent saturation characteristic curves, the direction-dependent error signals being calculated by comparing the modeled and the measured signal for a rising and a falling signal component.
