Abstract
A method for identifying a fault in the injection of urea into an exhaust line of a vehicle fitted with an internal combustion engine, the method having the following steps: calculating a ratio between a measured filling time and a flushing time of a urea line, the calculation being carried out by a urea injection control unit; comparing the calculated ratio to a reference ratio by the urea injection control unit; if the calculated ratio is different than the reference ratio, identifying a urea injection fault in the urea line by the urea injection control unit.
