摘要:
The invention relates to a method for detecting a fault in a pressure-switch arrangement (4). According to said method it is always assumed that there is at least one fault in the pressure-switch arrangement (4) when a signal occurs at an input (II) of an electronic calculating unit (I) which is not associated with the opened or the closed state of the pressure switch (4). It is also assumed that there is a fault on the pressure-switch arrangement (4) installed in a vehicle brake system when the pressure-switch signal indicates that the brake is being actuated, but the vehicle accelerates significantly. Alternatively, a fault is also assumed when the vehicle decelerates sharply but the pressure-switch signal indicates a lack of brake pressure. The invention proposes a suitable pressure-switch arrangement which generates a square wave signal (2) when the pressure switch (4) is closed, and a high-level signal at an input (II) of an electronic calculating unit when the pressure switch is opened. When a low-level signal occurs, it is assumed that the pressure-switch arrangement (4) has a fault.

The invention relates to a method for controlling a vehicle, especially the traction control system (ASR). A diagonal axle twist is detected and evaluated as a regulating variable.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for inspecting and if required adjusting to individual system elements the components of a system in a motor vehicle. The system has at least a software-driven controller that can be connected to a control station which can load software into the controller. Before the components of the system are inspected, the control station loads inspection software into the controller.
摘要:
In a process for monitoring a braking system equipped with antilock system control (ABS) and electronic braking power distribution (EBV) and with two braking circuits, one for each axle, the EBV function or regulation is fundamentally not triggered before the vehicle deceleration exceeds a predetermined threshold value (GWN). Acceleration criteria, namely criteria which depend on the acceleration behaviour of the vehicle wheels, are predetermined and controlled to recognise the failure of a front axle braking circuit. Moreover, a slip range is monitored together with an acceleration range. When an acceleration criterion is "recognised", when a predetermined threshold value (GW2) used as acceleration criterion is exceeded and/or when values which lie outside the slip range (GW1) of acceleration range (GW5) are "recognised", a "suspected" failure of the front axle braking circuit is signalled and the electronic regulation of the braking power distribution (EBV) is blocked.
