Abstract
A method for operating a steering system of a motor vehicle, with a steering handling device for specifying a steering wheel angle (δS) as a measure of a desired steering angle (δFm) for at least one steerable wheel of the motor vehicle, a steering gear with a pinion, which converts a pinion angle (δG), which depends on the steering wheel angle (δS), into the steering angle (δFm) of the at least one steerable wheel of the motor vehicle, a superimposing arrangement for generating an additional angle (δM) by means of a control drive, especially an electric motor and for producing the pinion angle (δG) by superimposing the additional angle (δM) on the steering wheel angle (δS) by a superimposing gear mechanism and a control device for carrying out the method for operating the steering system and for triggering the control drive and being carried out by a control device of the steering system. At least one function, on the basis of a model, monitors the dynamics of the control drive.
