Zusammenfassung:	Methods and systems are provided for on-board diagnostics of an exhaust gas recirculation system. In one example, a method may include dynamically estimating upper and lower EGR limits based on a commanded EGR flow and estimating a ratio of accumulated difference between a measured EGR flow and one of the upper and lower EGR limits to accumulated commanded EGR flow, over a duration of time. EGR system degradation may be indicated in response to the ratio being higher than a threshold.
