A hand-held power tool device, in particular a hammer drill and/or chisel hammer device, includes at least one operating element and at least one locking unit. The at least one locking unit includes at least one locking element and at least one controllable actuator element. The at least one locking element can be moved from at least one storage position into at least one locking position, and vice versa, and locks the operating element in at least one operating state in the locking position. The at least one controllable actuator element influences motion of the locking element.

Hand-held power tool device

A method is provided for identifying an averaged sensor value of a state variable of an air system for an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle, comprising the following steps:

Method and apparatus for furnishing a filtered air system state variable in a control unit of an internal combustion engine

For diagnosing a proper functioning of an auxiliary heater in an air mass sensor in an engine system including an internal combustion engine, the auxiliary heater being used for preventing contamination of a sensor area, the air mass sensor communicating air mass information via a signal line during a sensor operating mode and, if a specified state on the signal line is detected, activating the auxiliary heater, the following are performed: setting the state of the signal line to the specified state for a predefined time period in an auxiliary heater operating mode; transmitting a first temperature information before the activation of the auxiliary heater operating mode and a second temperature information via the signal line after expiration of the predefined time period; and detecting the proper functioning of the auxiliary heater depending on the difference between the first temperature information and the second temperature information.

Method and device for diagnosing an auxiliary heating function of an air mass sensor

A method for diagnosing a malfunction of a sensor system in an air system of an internal combustion engine, said sensor system comprising a first air state sensor, a second air state sensor and a third air state sensor, wherein a first value and a second value of a first comparison variable are ascertained in two different ways in an overall calculation step such that the result of a comparison between the first value and the second value is a function of each of the output variables of the first, second and third air state sensors and wherein in a fault detection step, said method recognizes as a function of the comparison between said first value and said second value of the comparison variable that a fault exists in the sensor system.

Method and device for controlling an internal combustion engine

A method for checking the functioning of a ventilation apparatus for ventilating a crankcase connected via the ventilation apparatus to an air supply system of the internal combustion engine includes: determining a pressure difference between an ambient pressure and a crankcase pressure in the crankcase; identifying a fault in the ventilating apparatus as a function of the pressure difference if an enabling condition is met; the enabling condition being met if an air mass flow in the air supply system, filtered by a low-pass filter, exceeds a first threshold value in terms of absolute value.

Method and device for diagnosing crankcase ventilation of internal combustion engines

A method for monitoring a control loop or a regulating loop in a system, in particular in an engine system in a motor vehicle, is described. A characteristic value is ascertained from a preset value and a system variable of the regulating loop or the control loop during one or more state changes, and an error is detected as a function of the ascertained characteristic value.
