DIAGNOSTIC METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DIAGNOSING AN INTAKE SYSTEM OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

An internal combustion engine comprises an intake system (1) and an exhaust gas system (4). An exhaust turbocharger of the internal combustion engine comprises a compressor (42) arranged in the intake system (1) and a turbine (48) arranged in the exhaust gas system (4) of the internal combustion engine for driving the compressor (42). In order to diagnose the intake system (1), a charge pressure (PHS_AIC_DOWN) of the compressor (42) is determined in a predetermined operating state of the internal combustion engine. A leakage of the intake system (1) downstream of the compressor (42) is recognized if the determined charge pressure (PHS_AIC_DOWN) is lower than the predetermined base charge pressure (PUT_BAS) in the predetermined operating state.
