Patent ID: 7741800

Claim:
A method for controlling an adjusting device in a motor vehicle, the method comprising: identifying a position (x m ), which is found from a ripple in a motor current in the adjusting device; associating a reference characteristic (Ch ref ) of orderly signals (U 1 to U 10 , I 1 to I 3 ,Δt 1 to Δt 8 ) for the ripple with a reference position (x ref ); and correcting the position found (x m ) on the basis of the reference characteristic (Ch ref ) and the reference position (x ref ), and wherein the reference characteristic (Ch ref ) has ratios for voltage values (U 1 to U 10 ) and/or current values and/or integral values (I 1 to I 3 ) and/or time intervals (Δt 1 to Δt 8 ) for the orderly signals.
