Method for controlling a drive train and drive train

A method for controlling a drivetrain of a motor vehicle with an electric drive motor, a wheel driven by the electric drive motor, an anti-lock braking system for preventing the wheel from locking, and a plurality of driven axles each being connected in a torque-transmitting manner via a gearbox to an electric drive motor, the method comprising:

• detecting an impending control intervention of the anti-lock braking system;
• disconnecting a torque-transmitting connection from the electric drive motor to the wheel in response to detecting the impending control intervention, wherein disconnecting the torque-transmitting connection includes shifting a gearbox located in the drivetrain between the electric drive motor and the driven wheel to a neutral position;
• and
• sequentially delaying a build-up of brake pressure at a driven axle of the drivetrain until the gearbox is transferred to the neutral position in order to prevent gearbox components and/or the drivetrain from becoming jammed.
