Abstract
An internal combustion engine includes a charge motion flap which influences the combustion in at least one combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. The function of the charge motion flap is monitored. At least one actual value of a variable characterizing the combustion in the combustion chamber is evaluated and the evaluation result is used for function monitoring of the charge motion flap.
