Method for controlling an internal combustion engine

摘要

Two accelerator pedal position sensors independently sense the position of an accelerator pedal driving an internal combustion engine. A first emergency running mode of the internal combustion engine is set if a failure is detected of either the first or the second pedal position sensor. In the first emergency running mode, the torque at a shaft of the drive train is limited to an emergency running mode torque which depends on at least one operating variable.
