Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for controlling a drive train (40) of a motor vehicle (42), to a method for controlling a clutch device (46), and to a drive train of a motor vehicle (42), said drive train (40) being operated in a first operating mode, the normal load operation, in which the internal combustion engine (44) moves the motor vehicle (42) against the resistances opposing the movement of the motor vehicle (42), the play in the load direction pre-determined by the rotary direction of the motor output shaft (78) being closed. The drive train (40) operating outside said normal load operation is operated under pre-determined conditions in a second operating mode in which a first load is introduced into a drive train section, causing the play at the drive-end of said load introduction point to be closed or to remain closed, said first load being such that it would not be sufficient to overcome the resistances opposing the movement of the motor vehicle (42) in the plane.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and device for monitoring brake signals in a vehicle with a gearbox control unit and engine control unit. An error recognition or a plausibility control of said brake signals is carried out. Brake light signals can be received by gearbox control unit or an engine control unit. Brake light switch signals can be guided by a CAN bus. A cable break or defective contacts or a short-circuit can be considered as errors.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and a device for improving the functionality of an electronic control device, particularly for actuating a clutch and/or a transmission in a vehicle drive train. In a first embodiment, it is determined whether there is a positioning error. If so, it is determined whether an actuator current is greater than a given threshold value. A blockage flag is placed if that is the case while an EMV flag is placed if that is not the case. In another embodiment wherein a control device is fed via a source of supply voltage, to which a capacitor is connected in parallel, a logic circuit puts the microprocessor and the RAM thereof into an operating state of low energy consumption if the supply voltage drops below a given threshold voltage in order to maintain the data in the RAM as long as possible by feeding the RAM with voltage from the capacitor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and device for determining the contact point of an automatic clutch of a vehicle having a driving engine, during which the contact point to be determined is established based on the torque difference between the established engine torque at the previous contact point and the engine idling torque.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and device for securely and comfortably operating a drive train of a motor vehicle, especially for operating a drive train with several clutches. An actuator of a clutch or an actuation part of a standard gear box is thus referred to; the neutral gear of the gear box is detected, actuation of the selected lever is controlled and clutches and gears of a twin-clutch transmission are controlled according to the state of the vehicle. The invention also relates to a method for examining and altering a circuit of a preselection gear of a compound coupling transmission.
Abstract:
The method for controlling the operation of a motor vehicle automatic transmission uses an additional gearbox (12) positioned between the main gearbox (8) and the vehicle wheels and actuates a parking brake lock using a selector which operates below a set speed or is switched in an operating position (N) in which the shaft can turn freely. Retraction of the key is prevented when the main gearbox is operative and the secondary gearbox is not operative.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method, a device and the use thereof for operating a motor vehicle. The configuration to which claim is laid consists of the placement of a starter generator between two clutches on the crankshaft. The starter generator is activated in order to start the internal combustion engine at the moment when the transmission-side clutch passes into the slipping state.
