ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting a hot start situation in an internal combustion of a motor vehicle includes the steps of determining a gradient of a temperature variation of an engine temperature; and detecting a hot start situation based on the determined gradient of a temperature variation of an engine temperature. An appropriate electronic control unit for an internal combustion engine is provided, as well as an appropriate computer program with a program code mechanism, and an appropriate computer program product with a program code mechanism.
