Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for controlling a motor brake of an internal combustion engine of a powertrain of a motor vehicle (10). In one step, the motor brake is activated. In another step, a reversing process (42) is detected. A step is then carried out in which a deactivation time of the motor brake is determined on the basis of the detected reversing process and in another step, the motor brake is deactivated at the deactivation time (46). The invention additionally relates to a controller (12).
Claims12
A method for controlling a motor brake of an internal combustion engine of a powertrain of a motor vehicle (10), comprising at least the following steps:
- activating (40) the motor brake;
- detecting a reversing process;
- determining a deactivation time for the motor brake depending on the detected reversing process;
- and
- deactivating the motor brake at the deactivation time.
A controller for controlling a motor brake of an internal combustion engine of a powertrain of a motor vehicle (10), the controller (12) comprising:
- a detection device (16) configured to detect a reversing process;
- a determination device (18) configured to determine a deactivation time of the motor brake as a function of the detected reversing process;
- and
- a deactivation device (20) configured to determine that the motor brake is activated and to deactivate the motor brake at the deactivation time.
