METHOD FOR DETECTING A SAFE STATE OF A VALVE OF A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

A method for detecting a safe state of a switchable valve of a hydraulic system of an actuator in a motor vehicle includes the at least one first switchable valve, which is actuated by being energized, a pump, and a controller which controls at least the first switchable valve and the pump. The pump delivers the fluid to a first load in a first rotational direction and to at least one second load in a second rotational direction.
