Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for determining an actuating value for a coolant pump or a control valve of a cooling system for an infernal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. In particular, a pre-control value for ascertaining the actuating value is determined in a first determination mode based on a prescribed first allocation as a function of an output variable of the infernal combustion engine and a temperature difference of a heat exchanger of the cooling system.
