A separate irregular-running determination is carried out for each cylinder bank. Each ascertained irregular-running value is compared to a lower and an upper threshold value, the upper threshold value being set in such a way that all irregular-running values below it are not caused by combustion misses. A defect is signaled in one of the exhaust trains when, for at least one of the two cylinder banks, an irregular-running value is ascertained lying between the lower and the upper threshold value, and the difference between the irregular-running values of the two cylinder banks exceeds a threshold. This method makes it possible to ascertain a defect in one of the two cylinder banks very early.
