Abstract
A method for operating an electrical circuit comprising at least one switching element of a motor vehicle is disclosed, wherein the switching element has a control voltage applied to it by a control device and the switching element is switched by the control voltage, wherein during at least one switching process there is determined at least one voltage measurement value describing a voltage of a Miller plateau of the control voltage and/or at least one time measurement value describing a duration of the Miller plateau, wherein the voltage measurement value and/or the time measurement value is compared respectively to at least one associated limit value and upon exceeding at least one limit value the control device initiates at least one action associated with the exceeded limit value.
