Abstract (en)

The invention is concerned with a method for detecting a failed actuation of a switchable solenoid valve (15), wherein in at least one actuation cycle (34) an electric current (I) is driven through the solenoid (18) of the valve (15) for closing the valve (15) with a predefined actuation energy (E) and for holding the valve (15) closed in a subsequent hold phase (37), wherein in the hold phase (37) a current strength value of the electric current (I) is controlled by switching a voltage source (U). The invention is characterized in that a switching frequency (F) at which the controller (17') switches the voltage source (U) is measured and if the switching frequency (F) fulfills a predefined failure criterion (46) in one actuation cycle (34), a signal signals that the current actuation cycle (34) is a failure cycle (43) in which the valve (15) did not close.
