ABSTRACT:
Method for determining the oxygen storage capacity of a catalytic converter for a motor vehicle using the signals of an oxygen probe upstream and an oxygen probe downstream from the catalytic converter which has the following steps of determining of a delay time which is dependent on the oxygen storage capacity between the signal of the oxygen probe upstream and the signal of the oxygen probe downstream from the catalytic converter, determining of the phase shift which is dependent on the oxygen probe dynamics between the signal of the oxygen probe upstream and the signal of the oxygen probe downstream from the catalytic converter, and correcting the determined delay time between the signal of the oxygen probe upstream and the signal of the oxygen probe downstream from the catalytic converter by a determined phase shift.
