Abstract
A method for determining a reserve torque in an electronically-switched drive mechanism, specifically a pulse motor for a headlamp beam adjustment system, based upon a parameter in an essentially linear relationship to a back electromotive force of the drive mechanism. Whereby, for the determination of the back electromotive force-related parameter, the variation in the drive current is determined in relation to a change interval.
