Patent ID: 7058489

Claim:
A method for producing at least one error signal and performing at least one measure based on the at least one error signal in a motor vehicle equipped with at least one of a wheel-slip control system and a wheel deceleration control system, comprising: monitoring for at least one error in at least one function variable, the at least one function variable representing a functionality of the at least one of the wheel-slip control system and the wheel deceleration control system; incrementing a value of at least one error counter if the at least one error is detected; and outputting the at least one error signal when the value of the at least one error counter exceeds a predetermined limiting value, wherein, for the at least one error counter, at least a first and a second predetermined limiting values coexist simultaneously, and wherein a first error signal is output when the first limiting value is exceeded by a counter reading of the at least one error counter, and a second, different error signal is output when the second limiting value is exceeded by a counter reading of the at least one error counter; and wherein, in response to the first and second error signals, correspondingly different measures are performed in the at least one of the wheel-slip control system and the wheel deceleration control system.
