Abstract

The invention relates to a control device for regulating or controlling a servo-drive unit in a steering system of a vehicle. In order to determine the initial zero position of the steering shaft the value of at least one vehicle state variable is taken into consideration as an input signal, said variable not being a steering angle variable. The steering shaft is in the initial zero position if said vehicle state variable within a defined range of values.
