A method for monitoring a door contact switch of a driver's door of a motor vehicle locked in an idle state includes detecting an unlocking of the driver's door of the motor vehicle, and detecting whether a change in a door contact signal of the door contact switch takes place after the unlocking of the driver's door. If a change in the door contact signal has been detected, a plausibility counter is initialized, otherwise the method includes detecting whether a drive unit of the motor vehicle is activated. A 'door contact implausible' state is established and the plausibility counter (P) is incremented if the activation of the drive unit has been detected in step d).

A device for operating a closing part, driven by a drive, on a device of transportation contains a control apparatus which is assigned to the drive and is configured to actuate the drive in order to initiate a measure which is opposed to the movement of the closing part. The drive is embodied as an electric or electromechanical drive. The drive can be actuated by the control apparatus in such a way that the drive becomes active in a braking fashion with respect to the movement of the closing part.
