A method is provided for monitoring the torque distribution in multiple drive systems, e.g., in hybrid drives. The hybrid drive includes at least two individual drives which are controlled via an engine control unit, in which a torque distribution of a setpoint torque MSETPOINT to the at least two individual drives takes place. After the torque distribution, the formation of a resulting torque MRES takes place which is compared continuously with a torque before the torque distribution.
