Abstract:
A method for ascertaining a cause of an fault in an injection system of an internal combustion engine having manifold and direct injections as injection types includes, if a fault exists in at least one first combustion process in an injection system associated with a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, replacing a first of the two injection types used in the at least one first combustion process with a second of the two injection types in at least one second combustion process, and, identifying the first injection type as the cause responsive to the fault no longer being detected in the second combustion process.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for performing a control based on a cause of a fault in an internal combustion engine injection system that provides a first injection type and a second injection type for injections into a combustion chamber, the method comprising:\n responsive to occurrence of the fault during a first combustion process in which the first and second injection types are used, using, by a control unit, only the first injection type in a second combustion process; determining, by the control unit, that the fault continued to occur during the second combustion process; responsive to the determination of the continued occurrence of the fault during the second combustion process, using, by the control unit, only the second injection type in a third combustion process; identifying, by the control unit, the first injection type as the cause of the fault responsive to a determination that the fault is not detected during the third combustion process; and controlling, by the control unit, further injections based on the identification; wherein one of the first and second injection types is a manifold injection and the other of the first and second injection types is a direct injection.
