Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19957157A1] The valve controller adjusts the stroke of at least one valve depending on at least one engine parameter. It detects measurement values for the camshaft that actuates gas exchange valves to check the function of one or more switching elements and displays a function signal if there is a defined deviation from one or more fixed values. The measurement parameter can be camshaft rotary oscillation signals. Independent claims are also included for the following: a method of checking the function of one or more switching elements of a valve controller.
