Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9011442A1] In a process for determining at least one end position of an adjusting device (14) in a motor vehicle, the adjusting device (14) can be controlled in the direction of its end positions, each end position of the adjusting device (14) is determined by bringing the adjusting device into the relevant end position and when this end position is reached, the position of the adjusting device is stored as an index of the end position. The position of the respective end position of the adjusting device is stored when the control parameter of the adjusting device reaches a corresponding predetermined value, and/or this value is maintained for a predetermined length of time. This process is used advantageously to determine the end positions of a power output stage of an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle.
