Method and motor control apparatus for the correction of a computer-established torque in the drive train of a motor vehicle

A method for correction of a mathematically determined torque in a drive train of a motor vehicle, comprising the steps of:

• producing a recognition signal for recognition of one of an automatic transmission and a manual transmission;
• establishing, based on the recognition signal, a set of vehicle operating parameters at which an actual torque applied to a motor vehicle crankshaft is equal to zero;
• detecting an occurrence of said set of vehicle operating parameters;
• mathematically determining torque associated with a detected occurrence of said vehicle operating parameters;
• determining a difference between the mathematically determined torque and actual zero torque associated with said vehicle operating parameters;
• and
• using said difference as a control factor to correct additional mathematically calculated torques.
