    摘要: The disclosure relates to a method for determining the icing condition of a component of the exhaust-gas system of a motor vehicle that is not arranged directly in the exhaust-gas mass flow and/or of the feed line of the component. The method includes: determining a water quantity actually present in the component and in the feed line thereof and the state of aggregation of the water quantity; determining an energy quantity required for deicing and for volatilizing the water quantity; and determining an energy quantity supplied for deicing and for volatilizing the water quantity by radiated heat from components arranged directly in the exhaust-gas mass flow of the exhaust-gas system of the motor vehicle to the surroundings. The method also includes determining the icing condition of the component by comparing the energy quantity supplied for deicing and for volatilization with the energy quantity required for deicing and for volatilization.
