Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for monitoring a pollutant conversion capacity of a catalytically coated, oxidizing exhaust gas aftertreatment component (29) in an exhaust gas system (13) of an internal combustion engine (15). A nitrogen oxide sensor (31, 32) is disposed in each case in the flow path of the exhaust gas upstream of and downstream of the oxidizing exhaust gas aftertreatment component (29), a capacity of said oxidizing exhaust gas aftertreatment component (29) for converting NO to NO2 being ascertained from a comparison of the two signals (Z′, Z″) of the nitrogen oxide sensors (31, 32). Additional independent claims relate to an open-loop and/or closed-loop control device (17), a computer program and a computer program product.
