The invention relates to a method for controlling a blocking member () of a functional component (), particularly of a steering column () of a motor vehicle, particularly of a motorcycle, having a drive () by which the blocking member () can be moved into a locking position () and into an unlocking position () and vice versa, wherein the blocking member () engages mechanically with the functional component () when in the locking position (), releases from the functional component () when in the unlocking position (), and the locking process is started via a defined triggering action on the part of the operator, the blocking member () being moved from the unlocking position () into the locking position () during said locking process. According to the invention, a controller () monitors the process, enabling a malfunction of the component (), in which a locking position () of the blocking member () is impossible, to be detected, such that the blocking member () takes up the original unlocking position () despite the triggering action.
