Method for controlling an actuator for a vehicle, control appliance and parking lock device for a vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for actuating an actuator (104) for a vehicle, wherein the actuator (104) is or can be coupled to a drive unit (106) for powering the actuator (104) and to a sensor (110) via a sensor gearing (108) for detecting a position and/or change in position of the sensor gearing (108). In the method, a sensor signal (114) is first input, which represents a position and/or change in position of the sensor gearing (108) detected by the sensor (110). The sensor signal (114) is used along with a gear ratio of the sensor gearing (108) in another step to determine actuator information representing a position and/or change in position of an actuator (104). Lastly, a suitable actuation signal (116) is generated on the basis of the actuator information to actuate the actuator (104).
