Abstract
A method is for monitoring a steering system during operation in a vehicle. The steering system includes at least one steering actuator. In order to determine a force-closure detachment and/or torque detachment in the steering system, at least one operating signal of the at least one steering actuator is determined and evaluated, and a jerk signal is determined from the at least one operating signal and is monitored for changes.
Claims14
A method for monitoring a steering system during operation in a vehicle, the steering system comprises at least one steering actuator, the method comprising:
- operating the at least one steering actuator to cause rotation of a rotor of the at least one steering actuator;
- determining at least one operating signal of the at least one steering actuator during the rotation of the rotor, the at least one operating signal based on the rotation of the rotor;
- evaluating the determined at least one operating signal to determine a force-closure detachment and/or torque detachment in the steering system;
- determining a jerk signal from the at least one operating signal;
- and
- monitoring the determined jerk signal for changes to determine the force-closure detachment and torque detachment in the steering system.
