Abstract:
A method of coordinating an operating behavior of a device for actuating a motor vehicle component (3), of a transmission, wherein the device has actuators (4) for motor vehicle components (3) and an electronic control-unit (5) which controls the actuators (4) according to predetermined correcting parameters (SP1) represented by data elements (ADE, NDE), the method comprising the steps ofa) first assigning to each correcting parameter (SP1) an initial data element (ADE); b) examining the operating behavior of the device with the initial data elements (ADE) of the correcting parameters (SP1); c) assigning, depending on test results, a new data element (NDE) to at least part of the correcting parameters (SP1); d) storing each initial data element (ADE) in a programmable constant value memory (9) of the control unit (5); e) assigning an additional blank address memory section (12) in the constant value memory (9) to each stored initial data element (ADE); f) making an addressable new data memory section available for each new data element (NDE) in which the new data element (NDE) is stored; g) writing the memory address of each new data element (NDE) in the address memory section (12) of the appertaining initial data element (ADE); and h) testing the control unit (5), upon each access to a correcting parameter (SP1), as to whether a memory address is written in the address memory section (12) associated with the initial data element (ADE) of this correcting parameter (SP1) and, in the affirmative, accesses the new data memory section addressed by the memory address, and otherwise, accesses the initial data element (ADE) of the correcting parameter (SP1).
