Abstract
A multi-way valve for a motor vehicle, having a housing, in which a lower and upper chamber are disposed one above the other along an axis of rotation and are separated from each other by a separating wall. A lower valve body is disposed in the lower chamber for rotation about the axis of rotation. An upper valve body is disposed in the upper chamber for rotation about the axis of rotation. A drive shaft drives the lower and upper valve bodies. The drive shaft is torque-transmittingly connected to one of the two valve bodies and said valve body is torque-transmittingly connected to the other of the two valve bodies. A checking device checks for a correct alignment, and, in the event of an incorrect relative alignment of the two valve bodies in the peripheral direction, a reaction to the incorrect alignment can be automatically triggered.
