Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a drive arrangement for a flap of a motor vehicle by a control arrangement, wherein the drive arrangement comprises a first electric drive and a second electric drive that are coupled in each case to the flap in terms of providing a drive, wherein in a determining routine current values that occur during the motorized adjustment of the flap are determined for the drives, wherein in an anti-trap protection routine the determined current values of the two drives are monitored to establish if at least one a predetermined trapping event criterion exists that represents a trapping event and wherein in the event that a trapping event criterion has occurred a trapping event routine is performed. It is proposed that a trapping event criterion is defined by virtue of the fact that a predetermined relationship of the current value of the first drive to the current value of the second drive exceeds or is below a trapping event threshold.
