Method for assuring emergency driving functions for a vehicle having a diesel engine

Method for assuring emergency driving functions with a diesel engine when the fuel temperature sensor fails, the diesel engine being equipped with a charging-air blower and a charging air temperature sensor, the method comprising:

• utilizing a substitute signal for carrying out the fuel-temperature dependent corrections of fuel-temperature dependent functions with the value of said substitute signal being dependent upon the temperature of the charging air;
• and,
• said fuel-temperature dependent functions including at least one of the following:
• start control path function;
• starting speed function;
• idle speed function;
• control path correction function and quantity control function.

• and,
• said fuel-temperature dependent corrections being performed such that all functions corresponding to a first fuel temperature are fulfilled above a first charging air temperature and all functions corresponding to a second fuel temperature are fulfilled at a charging air temperature below a second charging air temperature.
