Abstract
A method for operating a drive train of a motor vehicle includes performing a startup operation of the motor vehicle or a stopping operation of the motor vehicle. A starting component () is engaged or bridged during the startup operation or the stopping operation of the motor vehicle. The startup operation is driven by a drive source (). The method also includes comparing an actual value of an output shaft () based variable with a target value of the output shaft () based variable during the startup operation or the stopping operation and, on reaching or exceeding a specific deviation of the actual value from the target value, moving the starting component () into a slipping state. The starting component () transmits torque in the slipping state. A related drive train module for a motor vehicle is also provided.
