ABSTRACT:
To improve monitoring of the conversion rate of an exhaust catalyst for an internal combustion engine, the HC emissions are determined downstream of the exhaust catalyst during a predetermined time interval. The time interval starting point and the time interval duration are dependent on the operating mode of the internal combustion engine which is detected, for example, by consideration of the fuel mass flow to the engine over time. The HC sum value thus accumulated during the time interval is compared with a limit value and, when a predetermined difference value results, an error signal is generated.
