  • Patent number: 7430463
    Abstract: A method for monitoring and diagnosing errors of drive train components of a motor vehicle by monitoring a transmission route of a drive train control signal by reading an actual value of a monitored output signal at an output of the transmission route of the drive train control signal, determining by a calculation algorithm a nominal output value corresponding to the monitored output signal resulting from a check variable inserted into the transmission route before the output of the transmission route wherein the calculation algorithm is selected such that the nominal output value represents a value of the monitored output signal for the current value of the check variable, and performing a plausibility check of the monitored output signal by determining whether the actual output value is within an acceptable value of the nominal output value for the current value of the check variable.

  • Patent number: 6532410
    Abstract: A method for application of the operating behavior of a device for actuating in particular a transmission. Actuators of this device defined by data elements and stored in a constant memory value are controlled by an electronic control unit. It is proposed to optimize the operating behavior of the transmission resulting here as consequence of predefined initial data elements of the correcting parameters by associating, as needed, new data elements with individual correcting parameters. The basic structure of the initial data elements is here copied, then the new data elements are as needed written in the copy of the basic structure of the initial data elements and at the same time corresponding address reference is entered in the data section of the initial data elements which points to the new data elements.
