METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MAINTAINING AN ACTUATOR FOR AN AIRBAG CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for maintaining an actuator (100) for an airbag control device. The method comprises a step of introducing an electrical current flow through the actuator (100) using an electrical voltage having a voltage value. The method also comprises a step of determining an electrical measuring current through the actuator (100). In this way, the electrical measuring current occurs through the actuator (100) as a result of the introduced electrical current flow through the actuator (100). The method further comprises a step of carrying out a comparison of the electrical measuring current through the actuator (100) with a threshold value. In addition, the method comprises a step of setting the voltage value of the electrical voltage for introducing the electrical current flow through the actuator (100) according to the comparison.
