Abstract

A method for controlling a hydraulic system for actuating a drive train device of a drive train of a motor vehicle includes a first volumetric flow of a pressure medium being provided by an electrically operated pump, and a slave cylinder piston of a slave cylinder being actuated along an actuation path, in a manner controlled by a switch valve, via a second volumetric flow generated from the first volumetric flow. A leakage in the hydraulic system is determined from a comparison of the first and second volumetric flows.
