Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for checking the function of a tank venting valve between the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine and a fuel tank or a fuel vapor reservoir in which the tank venting valve in operation of the internal combustion engine is opened several times and is closed again after a short opening time and in which during repeated opening and closing the time characteristic of a quantity which is dependent on the opening state of the tank venting valve is recorded. In order to enable a reliable function check of the tank venting valve even in the case of very small and/or time-shifted amplitudes of the quantity to be monitored, it is proposed, according to the invention, that the first derivative of the time characteristic of the quantity be evaluated.
