Abstract

See full text

Various embodiments include a method for checking a variable valve lift control of an internal combustion engine comprising: during operation of the internal combustion engine, detecting a rotational speed of the internal combustion engine; and measuring an intake pressure in the intake tract of the internal combustion engine corresponding to the detected rotational speed. The method further includes: defining a reference frequency dependent on the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine; defining a comparison frequency as a non-integral multiple of the reference frequency; determining amplitudes of oscillations of the intake pressure at the reference frequency and amplitudes of oscillations of the intake pressure at the comparison frequency; and evaluating a ratio of the determined amplitudes and the respective absolute values.
