A method for controlling a venting system, in particular a venting system for cooling electronic control devices. The venting system has a first ventilator and a second ventilator. The first ventilator is controlled via a first channel and the second ventilator is controlled via a second channel. The two ventilators are mechanically independent of each other and controlled separately from each other.

Method for controlling a venting system

A sensor system for an electric/electronic architecture in a vehicle, having at least one sensor module for capturing at least one physical variable and at least one first interface for communication with a first bus system, and to an associated electric/electronic architecture for a vehicle. At least one second interface for communication with a second bus system is present, data of the at least one sensor module being able to be output via both bus systems.

A device for controlling all airbags for a vehicle is provided, and also a control unit for forming a control signal for all airbags for a vehicle, as well as a system of this device and this control unit. The device has a trigger circuit control and also an energy reserve, in order to control power switches in a trigger circuit as a function of the control signal that comes from the control unit, and to use the energy from the energy reserve to trigger the trigger elements for the airbags. The control unit receives at least parts of the energy supply from the device.

A steering system of a vehicle in the transmission path between the steering wheel and the point of application of a servo unit includes a coupling element which is adjustable between a closed position transmitting a steering movement and a decoupled open position.

Steering system in a vehicle

A method for reducing the steering torque in a motor vehicle in a driving situation in which the vehicle is being braked and steered at the same time. By shifting the brake force to the rear wheels, the front wheels become easier to steer compared to a standard brake force distribution. The maximum required power of an electric steering assistance system is thus greatly reduced.

Reducing the steering torque during braking maneuvers

Brake system for a motor vehicle

In a brake system with a controllable hydraulic pump in a hydraulic circuit, and with at least one solenoid valve, the operating state of the valve is changed in response to a control signal. As a result of the change in the operating state of the solenoid valve, the flow resistance in the hydraulic circuit is changed. Monitoring structure is provided which, in the presence of certain operating conditions, monitor the run-down behavior of the hydraulic pump in different operating states of the solenoid valve and actuate a display device to display a malfunction of the brake system when a malfunction is detected. Additionally, or alternatively, the automatic brake control can be turned off in reaction to the detection of a malfunction. It is possible for the control unit and the hydraulic unit to be replaced separately and for the installation to be tested for proper functioning.

Method for monitoring a brake system

An intelligent output stage having a downstream electrical load is checked by a brief change in the trigger voltage from time to time and the status signal on a monitoring line is monitored in two phases after this change.

Method for checking an output stage and an electrical load triggered by

A method for monitoring the operating condition of an inductive load including applying a control pulse to a control line coupled to the inductive load, generating a verification pulse indicating the operating condition of the inductive load, applying the verification pulse to the control line and sampling the verification pulse to determine the operating condition of the inductive load.
