Arrangement for fault monitoring an electric consumer in a motor vehicle to detect short circuits and interruptions in the region of the consumer

摘要

The invention is directed to an arrangement for monitoring an electric consumer in a motor vehicle. The consumer can be actuated by at least one pulse-shaped control signal formed by a control unit with this actuation taking place via a switching device. This arrangement includes a device for detecting electric variables in the region of the consumer and a device for comparing these variables to pregiven limit values as well as a device for recognizing a fault on the basis of this comparison. The device for recognizing faults evaluates the comparison result for recognizing a fault condition pursuant to the actuating state of the electric consumer.
