Abstract

The invention is based on a device for activating a gear shift element ( 10 ) of a motor vehicle by means of a control pressure (p) which is provided for deflecting the gear shift element ( 10 ) from a resting position. It is proposed that a control unit ( 11 ) be provided for measuring, at least in one operating state, a characteristic variable (T) to determine a reaction of the gear shift element ( 10 ) to a change in the control pressure (p).

Claims (11)

1 . A device for activating a gear shift element ( 10 ) of a motor vehicle by means of a control pressure (p) which is provided for deflecting the gear shift element ( 10 ) from a resting position, wherein a control unit ( 11 ) is provided for measuring, at least in one operating state, a characteristic variable (T) to determine a reaction of the gear shift element ( 10 ) to a change in the control pressure (p).

2 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control unit ( 11 ) is provided for measuring, at least in one operating state, a characteristic variable (T) for an adjustment speed of the gear shift element ( 10 ).

3 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control unit ( 11 ) is provided for measuring at least one characteristic variable (T) for a resetting speed of the gear shift element ( 10 ).

4 . The device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the characteristic variable (T) is provided by a resetting time.

5 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control unit ( 11 ) is provided for determining the control pressure (p) from the measured characteristic variable (T).

6 . The device as claimed in claim 5 , comprising a memory unit ( 12 ) for storing an assignment table for assigning the characteristic variable (T) to the control pressure (p).

7 . The device as claimed in at least claim 5 , wherein the control unit ( 11 ) is provided for comparing the control pressure (p) determined from the characteristic variable (T) with an extreme control pressure (p min ).

8 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gear shift element ( 10 ) is provided for shifting an automatic motor vehicle transmission ( 13 ).

9 . The device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the gear shift element ( 10 ) is provided for shifting a shift gate position (s) of the automatic motor vehicle transmission ( 13 ).

10 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control unit ( 11 ) is provided for deflecting the gear shift element ( 10 ) for test purposes.

11 . A method for activating a gear shift element ( 10 ) of a motor vehicle by means of a control pressure (p), wherein, at least in one operating state, a characteristic variable (T) is measured to determine a reaction of the gear shift element ( 10 ) to a change in the control pressure (p).
