The invention relates to a method for operating a control system () of a motorcycle (), which moves an electromechanical steering lock () from an unlocked position () to a locked position () and vice-versa, with an ignition system () to start the engine of the motorcycle (), which is controlled by the control system (), an authentication (), in which an ID-generator () maintains a data link with the control system (), wherein after a positive authentication () in an operational step (), the steering lock () is brought into the appropriate position (). According to the invention, it is provided that the first actuator element () has a signal connection with the control system (), which is accessible to the user, and the operational step () commences only after positive authentication () via intentional activation of the first actuator element (), which occurs after the authentication ().

Method for operating a control system of a motorcycle

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.

Method and device for controlling a blocking member

The invention relates to a device for actuating a locking member () of a functionally essential component (), particularly a steering column () of a motor vehicle, having a gear box (), being operatively connected to the locking member (), wherein the locking member () can be moved into a locked position () and into a released position (), and vice versa, wherein the locking member () engages into the functionally essential component () in the locked position (), the locking member () is released from the functionally essential component () in the released position (), an actuation device () is provided that can be accessed by a user, said actuation device being signal-connected to the gear box () during normal operation, by means of which an electronic actuation of the gear box () can be effected via an intentional actuation of the actuation device (), said gear box moving the locking member () into the respective position () thereof. The invention provides that the actuation device () is mechanically decoupled from the gear box () during normal operation, and that the actuation device () can be mechanically coupled to the gear box () during emergency operation such that a movement of the locking member () into the respective position () thereof, is carried out via manual actuation of the actuation device ().
