The invention relates to a method of controlling a synchronizing arrangement (12) for a retarder (6). The method comprises the steps of: a) displacing the sleeve (50) from the first position (A1) to the second position (A3) for connecting the first transmission element (40) to the first shaft (14), b) measuring the synchronizing time (TS) for synchronizing the rotational speed between the first transmission element (40) and the first shaft (14), c) comparing the measured synchronizing time (TS) to an expected time (TE) for synchronizing the rotational speed between the first transmission element (40) and the first shaft (14) using the synchronizing arrangement (8), and d) generating a failure mode if the measured synchronizing time (TS) is substantially shorter than the expected time (TE). The invention also relates to a retarder (6), which is controlled by such a method. The invention also relates to a vehicle (1) comprising such a retarder (6). |
